Really good if you want to make a simple website! If you wan't to make more complicated one than I recommend Wordpress, and a VPS host.
Challenge: • Wix have WEAK ethic. According to both Matt Mullenweg and Matt Jacobs, Wix stole code from an open source community. This means that Wix violated the software license. Which is an abusive behavior. Thus Wix have weak ethic. Sources: • https://arstechnica.co.uk/information-technology/2016/11/wix-stealing-gpl-code-wordpress/ ______• http://archive.fo/hm6ur • https://ma.tt/2016/10/wix-and-the-gpl/ ______• http://archive.fo/fqggG • Wix is own by a for-profit corporation. It is not owned by a not-for-profit community. Usually a corporation first priority is to hoard money. Not serve you and protect your privacy.
Strength: • Easy to use
Suggestion: • I do NOT trust Wix. Unfortunately some people choose to use Wix for their e-commerce services. Maybe they did not know about Wix's weak ethic. So I occasionally and TEMPORARILY allow access to Wix domain names. After I am done I block any domains name related to Wix. • If you need software from a company with stronger ethic, I suggest to try any other software. Such as Drupal Commerce, WooCommerce (commerce on WordPress), Shopify, or any other software to your liking.
Notes: • Wix domain name is owned by the for profit corporation "Wix.com, Inc." Source at https://gwhois.org/parastorage.com+dns
• Wix is an Israeli cloud-based web development platform that was first developed and popularized by the Israeli company also called Wix. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wix.com

1 star b/c of being complicit in genocide
I've used Wix in the past for making a website for a client. It's UI is okay, not the best. 1 star because they are complicit in genocide.
Only SubDomains are free. From LeoAI : "Wix.com.. platform's architecture is designed to run exclusively on Wix's servers, and exporting the entire site to another host is not supported."
It is simple to use, but the site loads slowly, the support line is not good at all. I recommend using Godaddy.
Easy to use, single pane of glass for simple websites.
