I\u2019ve seen so many questions by newbies and pros alike about the differences and similarities between Wix and WordPress and I\u2019m hoping this post can enlighten you further.<\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

Before we proceed further, this article is about WordPress.org<\/a><\/span>\u2014 not WordPress.com<\/a><\/span>. WordPress.com is a separate service that’s more like a website builder like Wix and is entirely different.<\/span> <\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

What is Wix?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

First, if you\u2019re new to tech speak, Wix is a website builder<\/strong> that has templates and can be used to create really good looking conventional websites. Think of it like a phone that uses themes. What Wix claims is that you don\u2019t need to be a professional before you can use the platform. It\u2019s not a software, it\u2019s online, extremely visual and you can just choose a template, edit it minimally and you are good to go.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

What is WordPress?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"Wix<\/p>\r\n

WordPress on the other hand is a web builder as well but offers even more. It’s a CMS – content management system – that goes beyond templates and plugins. If you’re looking to build a website that will wow your competition and potential customers alike, then by all means, USE WORDPRESS.<\/p>\r\n

WordPress has infinitely more options, if you want an unconventional website.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

There are other options of course, Blogger, Drupal, Joomla, etc but this post is WordPress or Wix.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

So, Wix or WordPress?<\/h2>\r\n

This post is not to tell you which is better – though this website is built on WordPress and that should tell you something – but rather to compare and help you make the right decision, because depending on what you want, you could be leaning either way.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I\u2019ll break this comparison into categories so you can understand better.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    \r\n
  1. Pricing<\/li>\r\n
  2. Theme availability<\/li>\r\n
  3. Ease of use<\/li>\r\n
  4. Plugins \/ apps<\/li>\r\n
  5. E-commerce integration<\/li>\r\n
  6. Data backup and migration<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\r\n
