Wix.com is a free online website builder that allows users to create stunning Flash websites through use of simple, drag & drop style tools. There are over 4 million users worldwide with Wix websites. Popular niches include photographers, small business owners, designers, models, PR agencies and restaurateurs.
With a graphic interface, the Wix editor makes designing unique and high-quality Flash websites an intuitive process even for creative minds with no technical experience. This revolutionary software is opening the doors of possibility to those who in the past would require the help of a professional web designer, or a course in computer programming.
Signing up for an account at Wix.com requires users to enter in a valid e-mail address and a unique username. Hundreds of customizable free Flash templates are provided, to jump-start the designing process. Alternatively, users can design a site entirely from scratch, using the free website design and widgets found inside the Wix editor.
The company operates on a freemium model, and offers premium packages for users who wish to upgrade their domains from a free website with the Wix URL, to a domain entirely of their choosing.
Designers, artists and web industry members are invited to join the Wix team and hundreds of creative professionals at the Wix Lounge Reveal Party on Thursday, July 29th at Wix' NYC headquarters located at 10 West 18th Street. The party will be hosted on the 2nd floor. Doors open at 7:00pm.
