 (EMAILWIRE.COM, June 15, 2010 ) New York, NY - With a simple drag & drop process, free website builder Wix makes it easy for those of us who are technically-challenged to produce a high-quality website. Yet tech-savvy Wix users love the code-free convenience of building a site quickly, or implementing changes without having to bury oneself in code. The start-up company behind this revolutionary tool, Wix.com, has added new content to each of the main components of Wix: the website builder itself, and the free web templates that users can customize to create their own unique sites.
Wix has thrown in a ton of new content to the editor itself. Flashy, 3-D country flag icons are now available as stylish additions to multilingual websites, letting Wix users promote their sites to foreign speakers with flair. New bakery, market, pets and garden-themed images have been added to Wix' free archive of photographs, and new styles of page arrows can be used to improve the navigation of web pages, photo galleries and media players. Clicking on these new items causes a customization panel to pop up inside the website builder, allowing users to change the item's color, size, linkability and visual effects.
Brand new templates have also been added to the Wix package of free Flash website design. Made by professional web designers, each template is free and can be edited using the tools inside the web editor. The new templates have themes including Food & Drink (Pizza Parlor, Sushi Bar, Bakery, Diner and Bistro), Yoga, Jewelry Design, Coaching and Collectibles. Every template is fully customizable, so users can upload their own company logos, images, text and links.
Founder & CEO of Wix, Avishai Abrahami, comments: “Wix is already a powerful design and promotional tool that users worldwide are using to build successful and marketable websites. But it’s always a pleasure to present our users with even more content to create and promote their websites online.”
Once a user is ready to release their customized creation to the web, clicking on a Publish button takes the site live. Any future changes can easily be made by reentering one's account at Wix, clicking on the site one wishes to change, and hitting Save once the changes have been made. The updates are instantly seen on the live version of the site – no waiting period necessary, or approval by a third-party. Users who wish to sell products or services directly from their Wix sites may do so with the shopping cart widget found in Wix, and upgrading their free website to premium. Upgrading also grants the user control over the site's domain as well as access to Google Analytics and other promotional perks.
Wix is funded by investors Mangrove Capital Partners, Bessemer Venture Partners and Benchmark Capital. The company was created in 2006 and has its headquarters in NY and offices in Tel-Aviv. There are currently over 4 million Flash websites on the web that have been created with Wix.
