Wix
A hosted service for creating Flash sites, Wix couples an unfortunately antiquated admin UI with an all-Flash platform. The result is a CMS several years out of fashion, and more of a handicap than an innovation.
- Pros
- Option to create mobile-compatible sites
- Broad selection of default templates
- Flash designs are somewhat search-engine-friendly and accessible
- Option to create mobile sites
- Cons
- Sites are entirely in Flash
- No third-party template option
- Switching templates completely is a tedious process
- Few options to integrate with popular external services
- Relatively limited storage and bandwidth on most plans
- No export capability
- Domain purchase through the service is currently limited
- Admin runs on a non-secure server (no SSL)
- Price
- Basic plan is free, ad-supported
- Paid plans start at $4.95 per month
