Wix CMS

Wix combines a drag-and-drop editor, templates, hosting, and a built-in CMS in a single subscription. Business owners can launch and manage a site without a developer, with native tools for ecommerce, scheduling, and email marketing. For custom functionality, the Wix Studio editor and Velo development platform support custom code, database collections, and APIs.

Pricing

Wix offers a free plan with Wix branding and a Wix subdomain. Paid plans run from $17/month for Light to $159/month for Business Elite, billed annually, and include a free custom domain for the first year. Ecommerce and scheduling start on the Core plan ($29/month), and storage, collaborator, and marketing limits increase with each tier. Enterprise is priced by quote. Additionally, planning, design, apps, and ongoing site management contribute to the total cost of ownership.

Should I Use Wix as a CMS?

Wix fits small and midsize businesses that want one platform for their website, bookings, and online store, with minimal technical upkeep. It's a weaker fit for organizations that need better design options, full control over their code, hosting, or data, or that may want to migrate later, since Wix sites can't be exported to another platform.
