Wix.com is a freemium online platform that allows users to create websites and Facebook pages.[1] It competes with Webs, Weebly, Yola and other web hosting and creation sites.[2]
Users can add tools to their Wix websites.[3] These tools include social media, online shops, contact forms, and e-mail marketing. Wix is free to use, but people can pay for more features.[4]
