Is a Wix website actually free?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 6:45 am

Wix is often touted as a free website builder. Is this really the case?

There are a few things to keep in mind when answering this question. First, Wix is not a free website builder in the traditional sense. You will need to pay for some features and tools. Second, Wix is not a standalone website builder. You must also have a web hosting account and install a Wix extension to create a website.

GREAT NEWS:

Exciting update! We've collaborated with Wix to offer WBI users with a free plan for all website creation needs - Explore the details here.

PRO TIP: While a Wix website may be free to create, there are certain limitations to consider before starting. For example, a free Wix website will have Wix branding on all pages, and you’ll be limited to 500MB of storage. Additionally, your free website will be hosted on a subdomain (yoursite.wix.com), which may not be ideal for some businesses. If you need more features or control over your website, you’ll need to upgrade to a paid plan.

Third, you may have to pay for web design and hosting services to have your website hosted on a Wix platform. Fourth, you may have to pay for advertising on your website. Fifth, you may have to pay to have your website listed in popular search engines. In short, Wix is not free, but it is not expensive either.

Ultimately, whether or not a Wix website is actually free is a personal decision. Some people may find that they have to pay for some features and tools, while others may not. Additionally, some people may find that they have to pay for web design and hosting services, while others may not.

Some people may also find that they have to pay for advertising, while others may not. The bottom line is that a Wix website is not free, but it is not expensive either.
