If you want to create a website but you are not satisfied with the static pages of a blog and you are not able, technically, to design a type of dynamic site with beautiful images, effects and animated menus, one of the best solutions is definitely Wix, which will allow you to create any type of website (including e-commerce and blogs) using an advanced technology based on artificial intelligence, which in fact will create the site "on its own" based on our graphic needs and based on the site category we are going to create. So we can have a complete free site by answering a few simple questions, without even being a Web programmer! If, on the other hand, we are good enough with codes, we will have a whole series of tools available to be able to create the perfect site for our company or our business.
How to create a website with Wix
Wix.com is a real online application to create dynamic websites, animated and equipped with high-level web graphics . After a quick registration with only your password and email, you can immediately start designing the main web page and let yourself be guided in the procedure.
The site offers two options: rely completely on artificial intelligence (which will create the site for us), or act on the editor, so as to have maximum control over everything we are going to create.
If we choose artificial intelligence, the site will ask us questions (to which we will have to answer as precisely as possible) and will have us fill in a simple form, so as to obtain at the end the site we want, without even having to touch a Web element or a single line of code.
Obviously this is the procedure that we recommend to follow if we are totally inexperienced with Web pages and do not know HTML, CSS and the like.
If instead we opt for the editor (obviously we must already have some familiarity with the various graphic elements and not of a site, otherwise it becomes too difficult), we will have all the tools available to create each session of the page, including SEO tools and tools to integrate their APIs, so that they can interface with other services or offer support to a Webapp (in case someone wants to implement it in other sites or on a mobile app).
The editor is already more complex to use, but even in this case we can create a site without even knowing a web programming language
In the editor, each element that is inserted can be moved to the web page where you want, as you would in Word or PowerPoint, always using the mouse and dragging. By left clicking on the page and on a single element, you can change the design or the writing or the image.
The Apps are also in the App Market where, in addition to the free Wix ones, you can buy other external applications to be integrated into the site.
If instead we wanted to start from the source code, the site also offers Corvid, intended for use by Web programmers.
Whatever the path taken, we can choose whether to create a professional or business, commercial, sales or shop site, a site of photos and images, a personal site, a site dedicated to music or playing videos. Among the personal sites you can choose to make the site of your resume, family or wedding .
Among the options there is also that of creating a page for Facebook that can be really useful to attract more fans and publish content on a page's timeline.
In addition there are two special sections, one to create an online store with a catalog of products to be offered for sale and another with the special Wix Web Apps, which are used to add Flash elements, dynamic contact forms, Maps, buttons to access the site, buttons to pay with PayPal ect.
All this is offered for free: if we want to have more options in creating our site, we recommend you read the next chapter.
Advanced features with Wix Premium
Some of these options are only available by upgrading, i.e. paying a monthly subscription, just like any other domain and website manager.
On this page there are the prices of Wix Premium which are convenient if the site was intended for commercial or business use. For a personal website I think you just need to pay the subscription to have your own domain, but we can also choose subscriptions dedicated to e-commerce and VIP subscriptions, which offer you unlimited bandwidth, storage space greater than 10GB, connection to a domain personalized, dedicated assistance, personalized favicon, coupon for ads, access to the app for the generation of modules and the site booster (advanced optimizations to quickly open your site, with any starting code).
Conclusions
As we have seen, the Wix site is the best solution for those who want to create their own website without having to go crazy between lines of code, also thanks to the artificial intelligence that will help us step by step in the creation of the site. For those who are already website experts, we will find all the tools to create source code or to insert your own API or webapp.We personally are of the opinion that relying on professionals is still the best (and forward-looking) choice, but if we are in a hurry to open our site and do not know anything about Web codes, we can use sites such as Wix and others to immediately have a elementary site ready to sponsor our business or our work.
If we are looking for other Wix-like sites to create free websites, we recommend that you read the article on sites to create free websites with online programs to make sites, without the need to have any knowledge of web code.
If, on the other hand, we already own a site and want to move the domain to quality web hosting, we advise you to choose the ones offered in our article on the best free web hosting where to upload a site .
