(EMAILWIRE.COM, April 28, 2010 ) New York, NY - High-tech start-up company Wix.com designed a unique and powerful website building platform for the quick and easy creation of Flash websites. With Wix, internet users can create a free website simply by registering with a user name and e-mail address. The company has successfully grown since its inception in 2005 to include a user-base of over 3.5 million users with free website accounts. The company is now exhibiting a collection of the most impressive websites created with the Wix builder.
This collection of websites is known as the "The Wix
Wix of the Day Archive", and is an expansion of the company's daily "Wix of the Day" competition. Every day, a different website created with Wix is featured on the Wix.com homepage, along with a short description of the design elements used with Wix's website builder, to create that particular site. Websites of every category are eligible to be recognized as a Wix of the Day, including business, musician, photography, artist and personal websites.
For a Wix website to be selected as a Wix of the Day, Wix users submit their site URL to wixofday@wix.com, where it is assessed by the Wix Design Studio. Websites are chosen based on a combination of factors including visual appeal and incorporation of the design elements offered by Wix. Sites that include photo galleries, widgets such as the contact form or the music player widget, and other Flash design elements are most favorably represented. The goal of the project is to demonstrate just how enormous the possibilities of web design are, with Wix's technology.
"We're often stunned by how impressive the web designs are that we receive from users. The website builder allows creativity to be pushed to its limit, and the work we've seen beautifully illustrates this," says the head of Wix's Design Studio, Hagit Kauffman.
Wix.com was created in 2005 and has offices in New York and Tel Aviv. It is funded by Mangrove Capital Partners, Bessemer Venture Partners and Benchmark Capital.
