Differentiating between WordPress and WIX

The biggest difference between WIX and WordPress is that you need to install a web server in WordPress to get the software on your site, but WIX is a tool / service you need to sign up for. Here we focused on 5 major concerns.

1.Editor

WIX has a visual traction editor that is similar to PowerPoint or keynote. Here the editing is done visually, ie if you see something you can change it or move it anywhere. It offers a free media archive that helps you insert images and videos into your post without going to a third-party site.

WordPress recently released a new editor called Gutenberg that shows the full page in the editor (no header, footer, sidebar). We can also switch between the publisher and a published website to see what the pages look like.

2.Features

Both WIX and WordPress offer eye-catching and eye-catching web design. But you have to figure out what is satisfying for your ideas.

WIX offers conventional functions for building websites.

 It is a user-friendly platform and relatively less crowded.

 It is a self-hosted website creation platform.

It has over 500 pre-made templates that you can customize your designs using various tools. It also offers an application market with a small collection of over 300 applications. All applications are highly compatible with any integration made.

 WIX SEO is very basic. Here you can add images with other text, titles, meta descriptions and custom URLs.

              It can configure integrations with Google Analytics and Google Search Console to optimize your site for search.

              However, WIX has no function needed to optimize technical SEO. A major disadvantage is the use of JavaScript to display URLs that cannot be read by search engines.

WIX facilitates integrated e-commerce operations and provides templates for an online store. Depending on your e-commerce needs, you can customize the features with the WIX editor.

WordPress is a sophisticated, customizable open-source CMS that means anyone can access it. This can be the major strength and weakness of WordPress.

 Here you have to host your site.

If you need unconventional features, you can opt for WordPress themes and plugin support. It has a huge library with about 55000+ plugins and 12000+ themes.

WordPress SEO is a comprehensive optimization and analysis - One of the most popular SEO is the Yoast SEO plugin. Provides suggestions for internally connecting web pages and optimizing multiple keywords. It can be accessed for free, but for a limited time.

Another popular SEO plugin is Rank Math, which has free access and offers various features such as meta description, setting a name for the site and optimizing the site for more keywords.

In WordPress, you need to choose from various plugins to create your e-commerce store. WooCommerce is a powerful ecommerce plugin that you can use to convert your website into a complete online store.

3. Maintenance and security

WIX takes care of your website. It has periodic update system automations and protects your site with the SSL certificate.

The plugins here are professionally designed and updated. So you don't have to worry about its maintenance and security issues.

WordPress has some issues while installing the plugin or theme in your system, if the developer does not update them, performance issues may occur. You can then go for a WordPress maintenance service.

 WordPress is a secure platform because you can secure your site with the WordPress security plugin. The security of a website depends on the host you choose who is your host should have an SSL certificate.

4.Price

While choosing a website building platform, the cost factor must be considered. Prices may vary depending on the types and functions offered by the site design. Both WIX and WordPress are completely different in pricing.

WIX includes everything in one package: hosting, e-commerce, themes, applications, customer support. Provides free testing of websites for basic display functions. Upgrading to premium plans would remove ads to access more features.

WordPress is free to use, you need to subscribe to a hosting provider and a domain name. The WordPress website can be hosted using officially recommended services. It has free themes and thousands of free plugins available on the basic configured site. The cost of additional features depends on your needs.

5. Customer support

WIX has customer support facilities, such as phone calls, chats, email. It also offers special assistance through expensive VIP assistance.

WordPress, as we know, is freely served and is also an open-source creative tool, so it does not provide customer support.

conclude

We can conclude that both WIX and WordPress are well-known platforms for building and designing websites.

WIX is a base station and easy to create and operate. It offers you a fully functional online store with host functions without spending much time.

Since WordPress would be a bit complicated in operation. But it gives you complete control over your website. It also provides access to thousands of themes and plugins and site builders.

In short, it all depends on your choices, preferences and needs. So you should definitely review the list of factors to decide what you want to achieve, considering what your requirements are.
