Wix is an easy-to-use web hosting service that can help you build your website without coding knowledge. This all-in-one platform offers drag-and-drop editing, which can be helpful for users with any level of web design experience.Footnote 1 Wix templates are fully customizable. You can create a completely unique website, even when using a template as a base. It also functions as a content management system (CMS), allowing you to organize your content as you see fit.
One of the key benefits of Wix is that no coding knowledge is necessary to use the service. However, if you want to enhance your website, you can use your web development and design prowess in the Wix integrated development environment (IDE).
