PROS
The pros of using WIX is the ability to drag and drop anything almost anywhere onto the page with pixle perfect accuracy.
This means you are not restricted by the confines of the template chosen - only your imagination. Also, WIX comes with many templates and pre-made section / strip layout options (as well as images) to choose from.
Then there are the countless apps available to make your website powerful.
CONS
The cons of using WIX are that at the end of the day, it is not so much template based or even difficult to learn but that it is still a web-based website builder.
You are relying on WIX, as a host, to be a powerful fast secure host with customer service that is second to none. In addition, as easy as it is to use, it still has a learning curve to maximize its potential.
You have better things to do.
