Flash Web Design Tool: Wix.com

While I was on vacation, I got a call from a potential client who wanted a flash website and mentioned a site called Wix.com. I investigated the pros and cons of the software as it related to the caller's functionality requirement. The software did not meet the requirement in totality; nevertheless I appreciated its rich features.

Similar to Weebly but not as all encompassing, Wixy offers a free flash website and it really it is free with no advertising but it has a sidebar labeled Wix as well as a bottom footer, both of which link to the Wix website. To remove this link you have to pay something. Yes, you have to buy web hosting. Free ain't free!

Unlike Weebly, the free version supports:
  • music and video players
  • photo galleries
  • shopping carts
  • e-commerce
  • custom HTML
  • embedded documents
  • contact form
In a nutshell, I see a myriad of uses for this product and even created a personal site for myself to embed in my MySpace profile. I like the software so much that I also redesigned another client's website in this product.
