About Wix

Wix is a hosted website builder with a drag-and-drop editor that makes it one of the easiest ways to launch a small UK store. It bills in GBP and takes no extra platform commission on sales (you pay only the gateway rate). Selling requires the Core plan or above; the cheaper Light plan has no online store, and the range tops out at Business Elite.

With 900+ templates and a large app market, Wix is friendly for beginners, though it is less scalable than Shopify for large catalogues and you cannot change a template after publishing without rebuilding. For a small, design-led shop it is a quick and approachable on-ramp.

Wix was founded in 2006 and is headquartered in Tel Aviv, Israel.
