It takes way too long to load for my liking, and I have high-speed internet. Just imagine what your customers would think if their internet was slow. They would click away before even looking at your products.
Hey we are hellodestroyers and we're new to this business and forum. We builid our website with wix.
the problems with wix is that you can't use html, not SEO friendly, limited cusotmization.
we'll move to traditional css/html in the about 2 months. but wix is good for beginners and people who dont have web designing experience (like us)
Let me know if you have any questions or need help.

I have used Wix for my advertising/info/contact page but I haven't used the ecommerce as it really doesn't suit my needs.
I've learnt a hell of a lot during the process though so might be able to help if you have questions.
Did you want to use it to sell pre-made designs or for customisable/create your own designs?
I originally tried to use wix for my site the set up was very user friendly however, the shopping cart suck big time! I emailed back and fourth with their "support" but nothing changed so I changed over to godaddy.com's quick shopping cart. I did creat my gallery with wix and just linked it to my site. I wouldnt recomend wix for any ecom but its really great to display your stuff. and I haven't had any complaints about load time. if you need any help or direction I will give you what ever conections I have. this site aided me in every thing I have done thus far I am happy to return the favor.

It's easy and looks cool, but nobody is going to want to buy from a website because it was easy for you to make. You need a professionally built website with functionality and flexibility. Don't try and cut corners.
That's assuming you want a decent business. If you are just wanting to sell a few shirts to family and friends, yeah go with Wix.

I am using wix too... But my shop is through bigcartel.com. I may just do everything through big cartel, and my myspace! who knows... but wix is cool and I think its cool when you use bigcartel with it!
I disagree that someone will not buy a site that looks easy..I design websites and you can't tell a cheap designed site for an expensive. You can pay thousands and have a cheesy looking site.. Wix isn't heavy on load time... and you can still use an add on feature for Google so that you will be submitted to search engines. The only downside is that the shopping cart is suspect you can't put in options such as size or colors. I've contacted them.. and i'm debating leaving. The only reason i'm on Wix is so that my business partner who is in Cali can admin it since h'es not that tech savvy this is ideal. However, i do have a bigcartel site just sitting and i get allot of plubs from tee writers and screening companies via Big Cartel. It has its pros and cons..ultimately i may goto a Joomla platform and use the foxycart add on.
I currently use Wix.com and Wix e-commerce. While wix is a beginner software with its share of downsides, it is very easy to use and produces a nice-looking, functional website. Right now, I cannot afford to hire someone to design a website, and although my wix site doesn't have everything I WANT, it does offer everything I NEED for a brand new clothing company. I would recommend it for a start up company.
I do not know if I should stay with Wix or just use Big cartel. Maybe Just do a Homepage on Wix I dunno. I am not very good at even designing a wix website...

Now that's worrying!
If you can't even design a Wix site then perhaps you should think about hiring someone!
has anyone tried wix.com to build their online store?
