If someone had asked me yesterday if I could build them a webpage or if they should use Wix I would have say I'm sure Wix is fine. Today I would strongly advise against it.
The argument of not being locked in the basement is really important for small businesses which is why Wordpress got so huge in the first place.
Having the ability to hire one dev and if that doesn't work out being able to go to another is a major selling point for a small business.
Good luck porting your wix site if they turn evil and yeah that already seems to have happened.
- gsuuon 6y agoI had almost exactly that conversation recently. Now I wish I'd done my homework more, since that conversation led to a 1 year subscription. They've also already ran into the limits of the editor as a casual user on the premium plan. My first thought after finding out about the lock-in was to advise them to get a refund, but that trustpilot page Matt linked makes me believe it would just be a waste of time.

- rijoja 6y agoYeah thanks for sharing. Really Joomla, Drupal and Wordpress was just such a step forward for small companies that needed websites. Before this they would've been locked in to one smallish sized companies solution and either get stuck with them or having to pay a relatively huge sum to get locked into some other companies solution.
