1. Ease of use<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Getting started with Wix<\/a> is a simple process. Once you’ve signed up, it will ask you what kind of website you want to create. It will then send you right over to its collection of templates for your chosen category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Wix](\"https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/blog-website-templates.png\")
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nAfter making your choice you can begin tinkering with it using Wix’s colorful drag-and-drop editor. You can create new pages using a drop-down menu without leaving the editor. Switching between them comes down to only a matter of seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nThere’s also the Wix ADI feature<\/a>, which stands for artificial design intelligence. It’s a module that builds an instant website for you based on a few questions that you need to answer beforehand. This feature saves you the time and effort of designing the site yourself. <\/p>\n\n\n\nIn the Wix Editor, you’ll also find an AI Text Creator, which asks you for quick input about your business and then generates unique text for your website so you don’t have to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Moving onto WordPress, taking your first steps with the CMS used to be a little intimidating for people with no web development experience. But since the launch of the Block Editor (aka Gutenberg<\/a>), building a website with WordPress became a lot more visual (and a lot easier).<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"WordPress](\"https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:1024\/h:468\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/wordpress-block-editor.png\")
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nThere are thousands of articles<\/a> and tutorials that cover every simple step of the process – from creating new pages to choosing the right theme. These resources do<\/em> make it easier to learn, however, getting to know WordPress’ ins and outs can still take a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\nStill, once you dedicate some time to familiarize yourself with how the WordPress Block Editor works<\/a>, starting and customizing a WordPress website should be a breeze. This even applies to people with no coding experience who might normally feel intimidated at the thought of building a site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n WordPress 0 : Wix 1 <\/span><\/div>
Taking all of the above into consideration, we tip our hats in favor of Wix for the first round of the Wix and WordPress matchup. Despite how much easier it is to make a WordPress site nowadays compared to the pre-Gutenberg era, the bottom line is that if you’re an absolute newbie with zero web development experience, Wix is going to be even<\/em> easier to get up and running.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n2. Depth of Customization<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
For this round, we’ll take into consideration two aspects: design customization, and the ability to implement advanced features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wix offers its users hundreds of website templates – all of which are fully responsive. It also enables you to tinker with the editor to add your own personal touches, which is a good start.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nWhen it comes to the implementation of advanced features, Wix boasts a catalog of over 300 apps that can be added to your site in a matter of seconds. They range from form builders, to reservation systems, and even pricing tables.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nWordPress, on the other hand, only offers 17 official themes<\/a> on its site. That’s pretty disheartening until you realize that there are thousands of third-party themes available on other sites, including our very own Themeisle<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"A](\"https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/themeisle-1.png\")
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nThere are also all kinds of WordPress themes built specifically for the Block Editor that let you customize your website in a visual, intuitive way. One example of a block theme that we developed ourselves is Raft<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMoving on, when it comes to plugins, WordPress is second to none. There are over 60,000 plugins<\/a> available on WordPress.org, and the community shows no signs of slowing down. If you can imagine something, there’s almost certainly a plugin for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMoreover, the Gutenberg Block Editor gives you flexibility in customizing your website in many creative ways. Apart from its default functionality, you can add new features by installing various Gutenberg extensions<\/a>, such as our own Otter Blocks<\/a> plugin. <\/p>\n\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n
