Wix’s templates are modern and attractive, with many pinning your navigation icons to the top as the site viewer scrolls down. You can add elements, change the background image, access the App Market (from which you get third-party site widgets), see your uploads, and start blogging. You can easily minimize or hide these controls if you need to edit the area under them. Some functionality that used to exist under a separate Wix brand, like Ascend, is now built directly into Wix, making it richer in features.
Wix contains all the usual options for text, media, social media widgets, buttons, and shapes that you’d expect in a website builder. It has more unexpected offerings, too, like tools just for fitness websites or ways to optimize your site’s loading speed. Wix Analytics provides basic site-traffic reporting, but you’re better off using a separate third-party service, such as Google Analytics, for this functionality.
If something you want is not included by default, check out Wix’s App Market. The App Market offers even more tools for tracking SEO, video views, subscription data, and music plays. This is on top of other, more specific extra features like creating custom seat maps for your recurring live venue events or making a branded app for your restaurant. You can also embed HTML and easily add SoundCloud or Spotify playlists to treat your site visitors’ ears.
Editing the template design is a cinch. Just click any element to see resizing handles and dragging buttons. You have much more freedom to place objects where you want them than with Squarespace or Weebly. You can also double-click text to edit and format it. A toolbar offers tools for sizing and arranging objects, including size matching, alignment, and overlap options. Guides pop up as you move objects around, helping you align them with other elements. If you select multiple objects, you can move them around the page. I like that Wix lets you animate any object, with effects like Bounce-In, Glide-In, and Spin-In.

Wix has outstanding right-click context menus, too. Most other builders do nothing with right-clicks, except to launch browser options that don’t help the site-building process. Wix lets you use right-clicks to change images or edit text. You can customize page design to your heart’s content, including the number of columns and their sizes. In addition, you can easily add new pages and drag them around to change the site’s navigation hierarchy. In addition, Wix lets you password-protect particular pages or require a membership sign-up or sign-in to access content.
When it’s time to really dig into editing your site, Wix Studio is a website-building option that features cleaner, more design-centric templates than the basic editor. More importantly, they’re responsive templates, unlike the ones you deal with in using Wix’s classic editor interface. To show you the ropes, Wix Studio Academy offers helpful text lessons and video tutorials.
Wix Studio operates more like Adobe Photoshop or InDesign than a traditional site builder. Layers let you stack elements, while Masters let you quickly copy a design element to other pages. Click a text element, and you’re presented with collapsible menu options for changing sizes, positions, anchors, and other items. The basic editor’s right-click functionality is replicated here, launching context-sensitive menus when invoked. If you’re working on a responsive website, Wix Studio starts with three different page sizes you can toggle between to see how your site looks. You can also add more breakpoints and different resolutions as part of your toggleable choices. Overall, it’s far faster to move elements around on your site using Wix Studio than Wix’s already efficient website builder.
Typography and color swatches are available, and you can save your choices to design libraries. This allows you to quickly change a page’s overall color or perhaps the header text without losing your previous design choices. Wix Studio is also built for multi-user collaboration, with design libraries allowing a group to test different ideas without throwing anything away.
