product
Wix.com is a cloud-based online platform for creating HTML5 websites and mobile websites. The website builder makes it possible to integrate functions that have been developed by Wix or third parties into your own website.
Wix is based on the freemium business model. Additional services beyond the pure website must be purchased for a fee. Wix is seen in the various reviews as one of the best platforms to build your own website. The flexibility and the large selection of template designs are particularly praised. The inability to switch to a different template afterwards is rated as disadvantageous. In addition, Wix is not suitable for deep websites with a large number of subpages.
In October 2012, Wix launched its App Market to sell third-party apps developed using the company's web technology. App developers can use the Wix Software Development Kit to create their own web apps and make them available to users worldwide.
criticism
Security researcher Matt Austin discovered a security flaw in 2016 that allowed cross-site scripting (XSS) to take over the administrative role of other users.
