Wix, a great option to create your professional website without knowing how to code

Want to create a professional-looking website quickly and easily for yourself or your business? One of the best alternatives available in the market is Wix, a website creation tool that offers both free and paid options.

The product analysis and recommendation website Wirecutter from The New York Times has just chosen Wix as the best option for creating a small business website among a total of 37 platforms analyzed.

This website builder allows you to create anything from a simple completely free site to complex high-performance websites, with different paid solutions and advanced SEO and marketing tools.

 Wix has over 250 million users worldwide who have created blogs, professional portfolio pages, online stores, events, or consulting websites, restaurants, and any other type of business.

To create a website with Wix, users can choose from many existing templates, create the site with the help of artificial intelligence, or design from scratch. No programming knowledge is required. Wix offers the option to add text, images, galleries, videos, sections, contact forms, and other elements by dragging and dropping them on the page.

The Wix Blog allows you to discover tips and practical examples of how other users and businesses use the platform. This is one of the articles offered on the blog:
