Wix: Initial thoughts
Ok, so I just signed up for Wix and I'm editinig my new Wix site right now.
I'm still uncertain as to whether Wix will produce a flash based web site (which I would never want), or if it just uses a flash based editor to produce regular static HTML web sites.
So far, I'm not liking the editor. It takes a long time to load on the wifi here at the library where I'm at.
The flash also seems to be making my laptop's processor fan spin out of control.
Anyhow, this is where I'm at in reviewing Wix.
I guess the only way to answer my previous question as to whether this web site builder will produce HTML or flash would be to just publish it now. So here goes.
Wix is
Fun,
But
It's Flash
Wix produces Flash
Yep, after clicking the "publish" button here in the Wix website builder, I previewed my Wix site to find that the Wix website builder does indeed produce all text as Flash.
This is a deal breaker for me as I hate Flash for purposes of rendering text. Sure, it's true that Google and other search engines can indeed spider and index flash websites, but flash is a crappy way to render text.
So, I'm going to call this my first and last interaction with the Wix Website builder . But not before I add some widgets to this page ;)
