Wix is an all-in-one platform designed for those who want to create a website (including a blog) without writing a single line of code. With an intuitive visual editor and numerous templates, Wix is one of the most popular options for non-technical users who want to be online quickly and easily.
What Wix is and how the visual editor works
Wix offers an extremely user-friendly drag-and-drop editor through which users can add sections, images, text, and functionalities such as forms or a blog. Everything is done visually, without the need for HTML, CSS, or JavaScript.
The blog as part of a larger site
One of Wix’s particularities is that the blog is integrated into a complete site. This means you can have:
Presentation pages (About, Services, Contact)
Online store (Wix eCommerce)
Advanced functionalities (newsletter, forms, members, etc.)
The blog is an additional component but easy to manage through the visual interface.
