Who Owns a Wix Website?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 8:48 am

As the internet continues to grow, so does the number of people who are creating websites. Many of these people are using website builder platforms such as Wix.com to create their websites.

This is because platforms like Wix make it easy for anyone to create a professional looking website without any prior experience or knowledge of web design.

While Wix does make it easy to create a website, there are some important things to keep in mind before you start building your site. One of the most important things to consider is who owns the website that you create on Wix.

When you create a website on Wix, you are actually creating two different things: the content of your site and the platform that your site is built on. The content of your site includes things like the text, images, and videos that you upload to your site.

The platform is the software that powers your site and makes it possible for people to view your content online.

PRO TIP: If you are planning to create a website using Wix, it is important to be aware of who owns the website. While Wix does allow you to create and edit your own website, you do not actually own the website. This means that if you decide to cancel your Wix account, your website will be taken down and you will no longer have access to it.

Wix owns the platform that your website is built on. This means that they have control over how your website looks and functions. They can make changes to the platform at any time and these changes will affect your website. For example, if Wix decides to stop supporting a certain feature, your website will no longer be able to use that feature.

You own the content on your Wix website. This includes things like the text, images, and videos that you upload to your site. You have full control over this content and can do whatever you want with it. For example, you can sell products on your website or use it to promote your business.

While Wix does give you a lot of control over your website, it’s important to remember that you don’t own the platform itself. Wix can make changes to the platform at any time which could affect how your website looks or works.

In conclusion, when you create a website on Wix, you are responsible for the content on your site but Wix owns the platform that it’s built on.
