    What level of web design/coding skills do you have? From what i have read about wix in the past, it is aimed at people with next to no coding skills. If you are after a very easy site to be create then do this, the downside is it is limited what you can do with the site so you will most probably end up with a site looking very similar to every other site made using wix.
  • Keep away from Wix if you intend to run the site for use on Mobile/Smartphones

    what kind of website are you intending to build, and what do you want it to achieve

    they are better options then Wix, trust me!

    Its a simple website of about 5 pages, maybe 6. with most space being taken up with graphics No need for any databases or other stuff. Just simple old HTML.

    I have a music site with shopping cart on Vidahost and currently use some of the space for the simple site. It's about 80% full and to avoid having to upgrade to another price level I'm cutting down on unnecessary photos etc. Part of cutting down would be moving the simple HTML site
    I wasn't sure about Wix. It was one of the first to come up in asearch

    I've set up a few bits and pieces for friends on http://www.000webhost.com/

    With them you get php/mysql too although you don't use it now you may later.
  • Sounds like Moonfruit would be an ideal medium for you. Doesn't need much experience and it's free for a basic website, which can be expanded later on at a small cost if you want to expand.

    Weebly for me, simple and easy to use. Domain name from Melbourne IT through Microsoft a few years ago.
