Wix, a nifty piece of website builder with complete hosting facilities, is majorly used for personal or with those having small businesses. It’s pretty neat and is dead easy to use for and comes with HTML5 website option or mobile websites as the user needs.

An Israel’cloud-baseded web development company, this one comes across as a viable alternative to WordPress. Built on a freemium model, Wix generates its share of revenue from premium upgrades where a user can purchase options like linking to own domain, removing ads and adding further e-commerce support.

Wix has a plethora of pre-designed templates that a user can use and modify accordingly to create the website. The best part, it just used drag and drop option, a pretty easy-peasy functionality. Another added feature is the support for an e-commerce platform, where a user can receive online payments. However, do note that the e-commerce support comes with paid plans of Wix.

Despite being simple to use for, it does come with full-fledged editing option and is renowned for giving a professional like look to the website with its templates. Its HTML5 website builder gives editing options for fonts, graphics, images, gallery and much more. It also has mobile support to allow how the mobile viewing will come across.

If you’re looking for a simple piece of website builder and platform as an alternative to WordPress, Wix is the one you should go for. A dead easy to use and so many templates to choose from, what’s there not to like. The only downside, a bit lacking in flexibility like that of WordPress.
