What personally made me switch over is when i had a client project for a restaurant that needed to setup delivery/takeouts it took me literally 2 days to have everything up running setup!
I was even able to configure that when orders are placed on the website they would get a phone call with a automated voice telling them an order #xxx has been placed all with no code whatsoever and this was integrated by default!
Thats fake news you CAN move away from wix for one and second of all in terms of cost it is pricier than other platforms but they have sooo many integrations that you would end up buying plugins for anyways on wordpress…
Wix has alot of integrations included so it is interesting in terms of saving costs! For clients its a really nice platform that requires no maintenance whatsoever and less headaches for me!
No more panicked clients email late in the evening no more headaches in that sense…
Their new version Wix Studio offers even more flexibility and you can even go headless if you wanted! They offer alot to devs that takes the time to understand Velo code (JS)
I may sound biased at this point but Vevo has 10m monthly users and their website is built using Wix…
Only downside for the moment is performance in terms of loading times/general performance and i think thats mostly related to their native CDN thats offered by default… this becomes more apparent when browsing Wix sites on mobile
