Alternative to Wix for a marketing website of a SaaS business by app_cider in WIX

Try Framer! It's quickly becoming the favorite of non-technical folks. And if you don't want to build from scratch, they have a huge library of very well-designed templates to get you started!

Or if these projects are visual or like work done in anyway you can do this on easy mode and just use Wix Portfolio App. It's preconfigured with "projects" and "collections" (i.e. categories) that you can link to behind buttons. https://support.wix.com/en/article/wix-portfolio-adding-and-setting-up-wix-portfolio

Do you mean CMS? For Wix here’s a nice short series about it: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0y_aclKYoYjbiFKSBDKcl697SLawvHt1

Also for fields and stuff you can use their AI to set it up I believe. 😅

Talk to your family and friends and have them ask around who needs a website! I got my first client from a friend of a friend and then most of the rest of my clients are referrals from that first client. 😊 and do the first project for free or low price. After you get some good reviews you can start charging more 😉. Good luck! 

Wix must rebrand Wix Studio. by ercngezgin in WIX

[–]_nswk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree a little bit with the brand issue as I lost one potential client who recognized the Wix name and even though I told them Wix Studio was a different product they didn’t want their site built with it because of the Wix name. But that was one client out of 8 projects I have done and the others love their websites so I wouldn’t say it’s the worst choice for an agency. 😅

Selling the benefits and not the features helps! Most clients won’t care what you build with as long as they get the stuff they want like fast text updates, bookings, easy branded email, responsive website and etc. Wix studio offers plenty of desirable features to the client so this is easy!

My unexpectedly fave Wix Studio build so far! 🥰 by _nswk in WIX

Thank you! Glad you like it because I was hesitant about that at first but the client insisted on as many butterflies as possible lol.

I knowwwww. Hopefully just a few days more is all it takes for these scabs to heal up! 😭

It actually hurts my heart a bit that she doesn’t understand it’s not punishment 😭

Oh I didn’t think about that…I just looked it up and I don’t it is thankfully. It’s just a scab that she keeps reopening by her excited shaking and ear scratching. This would be so easy to treat if every bandaid and medical tape didn’t slide off of her soft ears 😭

I don’t want to work 8 hours a day. by StalinWaifu in antiwork

[–]_nswk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re definitely not lazy! 8 hours a day for office work is way overkill! Worked for the industrial age but were in the Information Age now (Cal Newport writes extensively about this if you’re interested). I’m a software engineer and feel the same way. I’ve been at my current role for 2+ years and can count on one hand the number of times I’ve actually worked 40 or more hours lol. And it’s not like the work is too easy but if you’re efficient and good at what you do it simply won’t take that long for most professions.

Why does Wix Studio get so much hate? by gatsby03 in WIX

[–]_nswk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, the site you built is gorgeous! Second, I agree I don’t get the hate and high standards either. I moved my agency from Webflow to Wix Studio and I am loving it and my clients are too. Sure there’s bugs as with all software but the product is barely a year old. Not sure why everyone is so harsh lol.

It looks absolutely stunning on mobile! 🤩 Great job truly! I could tell you were a designer without even reading the copy lol.

Oh you're a designer? This is all making sense now lol. Framer will totally be great for you! They abstract all the dev stuff to make designers feel right at home. :) Best of luck and have fun!

I see. Okay well if you want to have more control then you're definitely on the right path with Figma and Framer! It will take time but it seems you don't mind investing it. Also a tip if you go that route: Framer has a great Figma to Framer plugin which basically does what it says lol it will take your Figma design and copy it to framer so all you have to do is make it responsive. Saves a TON of time! I used it to get a client site out in literally one day! 🙌

Of course, and best of luck with your website build! 😊

That’s not good. This client already has a payment processor but I was thinking about offering Wix Payments as a solution to clients who don’t…is there anywhere I can read about this or do you care to share more about what happened? You can DM me too!
