To be completely frank, to the layman Wix gets the job done.

In a perfect world they'd spend less money marketing and more on building good products, but they're aiming for non-technical people who will create a Wix page and then forget about it.

I don't like Wix ether, but their business model is definitely working.



So does uploading a PDF as your whole site. Or calling up Yellowpages and getting a site from them.

These are all options, but just because George down the street uses them doesn't mean they should be suggested.


>So does uploading a PDF as your whole site.

To do this you need to register the domain, and then point your domain to an S3 bucket hosting the PDF. I have numerous friends who I consider to be extremely smart, but will never any day of the week be able to figure out how to do that.

I think I agree with you, Wix is better at marketing than website design. But functionally as a business, they're making fantastic profits.
