Is Wix Free to Make a Website?

Last updated on September 30, 2022 @ 10:47 am

Yes, Wix is free to make a website. You can create a website for free with Wix, but if you want to use your own domain name (e.g.

www.example.com) then you will need to upgrade to a paid plan. With a free plan you can still use a Wix subdomain (e. www.wixsite.com/example).

GREAT NEWS:

Exciting update! We've collaborated with Wix to offer WBI users with a free plan for all website creation needs - Explore the details here.

Paid plans

If you upgrade to a paid plan then you will be able to use your own domain name and get rid of the Wix ads. There are four different paid plans that Wix offers, which are:

  • Combo – $11/month (billed annually) or $14/month (billed monthly)
  • Unlimited – $14/month (billed annually) or $17/month (billed monthly)
  • Pro – $22/month (billed annually) or $27/month (billed monthly)
  • VIP – $39/month

The main difference between the paid plans is the amount of storage space and bandwidth that you get, as well as the number of features that are unlocked.

Is Wix Free? – Conclusion:

Yes, Wix is free to make a website up to a certain point. If you wish to use your own domain name and have access to more features and storage, then you will need to upgrade to one of their paid plans.

With their paid plans, you can still take advantage of their free trial period where you can test out all the features before committing to a plan.

In short, yes Wix is free to an extent – but if you want access to everything it has to offer, then you will need to upgrade to a paid plan at some point.

PRO TIP: If you are looking to create a free website, Wix is a good option. However, there are some limitations to consider. First, Wix will insert ads on your website unless you upgrade to a paid plan. Second, you will not be able to use a custom domain unless you upgrade to a paid plan. Finally, Wix websites are not optimized for search engines, so it may be difficult for people to find your site unless you take steps to promote it.
