Many are free, though some business choices require an e-commerce-level subscription. In all, Wix offers hundreds of template choices, more than Squarespace or Weebly.

For our Wix test site, we picked the Blog category, which offers more than 70 beautiful template options. For instance, there's a Restaurant choice with subcategories that include bar, café, and catering. There are nearly 20 top-level site types, each with several subcategories.

For a full rundown of account types, see Wix's premium account grid (Opens in a new window). Finally, there are the Enterprise-level plans that require a bespoke quote from a Wix representative (they start at $500 per month). If you want a shopping cart and other money-making features, business and e-commerce plans cost between $23 and $49 per month. These range from the $14-per-month Combo account (3GB of storage and 2GB of monthly data transfers) to the full, $39-per-month VIP plan (35GB of storage, a domain name, unlimited monthly data transfers, a professional logo, and priority support). On the other hand, if you want an ad-free site with a custom URL or e-commerce options you must upgrade to a paid account. In fact, if you don't mind the advertisements, you can spin up a site for free. All you need is an email address to get started with Wix's web hosting. Wix is a website builder, an easy-to-use tool that lets you quickly create an online presence via a drag-and-drop interface-no coding or FTP knowledge is required.
