Not the best argument to say Wix (or website builders in general) is not appealing to professionals. If that’s true, you are seeing the market is shifting toward website builder, otherwise they would have been dead since the beginning.

Now Wix may not be the best website builder out there, but it certainly helps thousands of businesses worldwide to setup their business website. My website is built on Webflow, but I started with Wix and is still offering Wix web design service to clients in need.

WordPress is open source and it gets a lot of attention regarding to robust CMS and cheap hosting. However, it doesn’t mean business owners love WordPress. The site gets clunky when those who are not tech savvy started to play with it to achieve what they want with plugins instead of pure codes.

Looking on the perspective of business owners, who are the main drivers of the economy, exporting the code or to own the code would be the last thing they talk about. If it’s so good, why do they need to export the code and go anywhere?

Professionals can build crazy things on WordPress, but is it something that the market needs? Not anymore. As designers, we want to boost our workflow, design and build faster, so we can make more money.
