2018 was a year to remember for all of the writers here at Wix, and not only because we launched our Words Matter blog. With 2019 sneaking up on us — yep, it’s that time again — we’re taking a look back at our year in numbers.
From brainstorms to blog posts, tears to tequila, here are some of our favorite and most memorable moments from 2018.
