For years, Wix Website Builder has been the leader on the website builders market, thanks to an amazing tool that makes website creation easier than ever. It evolved into a competitive platform that allows you to create e-commerce websites easily and do business online without the technical hassle. Let’s take a look at the tools Wix offers to make this possible.
Wix ShoutOut: for newsletters that sell
Email marketing is probably one of the most overlooked by e-commerce website owners. Wix makes it much easier to get your list started and promote your website by email, thanks to the intuitive and easy-to-use features of Wix ShoutOut. Whether you want to promote new items, announce a sale, or simply send an invite to an event, Wix ShoutOut will let you do it.
You won’t need to bother with a complicated server setup, building templates, or social media integration, you can get all this for FREE with Wix ShoutOut, and you won’t even need to leave your Wix account for that. If you are not convinced by the importance of newsletters as a marketing tool for small businesses or freelancers, just take a look at this article on Chron magazine. I’m pretty sure you’ll get a Wix account and start to use Wix ShoutOut after reading it.
Templates tailored for your industry
If you are a graphic designer, I don’t need to explain you the big role played by good design in the success of websites. If you are not technically savvy, your only option is to hire a web developer to make your website look the way you want it to. Or your can use Wix and its gigantic collection of gorgeous templates. The best part, most templates are completely free, customizable, and responsive, so you won’t loose the mobile visitors.
The templates are also organized by industries, so you will surely find one that perfectly fits your desires. You can see a few examples here.

e-Commerce finally made easy
Like for its website builder, Wix online store solution (named WixStores) helps you focus on what really matters: adding products to your store and marketing it, not struggling with the technicalities of building the store or handling the payments.
It also comes with cool templates, Wix’s powerful drag-and-drop customizing features, and everything that makes your life easier as a website owner. Did I mention that Wix doesn’t take any commission off your sales?
