Builder of Flash websites Wix.com has squashed the old Flash versus HTML debate. With its new HTML component, Wix users now have the best of both worlds.
New York, NY, USA, June 11, 2010 (PRESSbooth.ORG) -- Now, Wix users can have their cake and eat it, too. At least when it comes to choosing a website design platform. With the introduction of an HTML component to the Flash website builder, start-up Wix.com has broken the mold and is taking the experience of its users to a whole new level.
Wix is an intuitive website builder that enables the average internet user to design and publish Flash websites for free, and without the need to code. With a drag and drop interface, users can customize Flash templates or build websites entirely from scratch merely by clicking and dragging a variety of design elements such as text, menus, images, clip art, icons, music players, video playlists and more. Premium packages enable users to upgrade their free website accounts, to gain domain ownership and access to Google Analytics where site traffic can be tracked.
With the addition of the HTML component, Wix users are in complete control of the design elements they wish to add to their Flash websites. Site counters, forums, schedules, chat rooms, live chat, search boxes, Twitter feeds, blogs, Facebook “Like” buttons and more can easily be embedded with an HTML widget conveniently located inside the Widgets section of Wix. This is an extremely empowering moment for all users of Wix who wish to take their site to soaring new levels.
Avishai Abrahami is the CEO & Founder of Wix.com, and he enthusiastically discusses this revolutionary time for web design: "Wix is all about giving our users the freedom and the flexibility to create stunning, high quality websites. The HTML component is the gateway we give our users for bringing the best of the web into their Wix sites."
The best part is how well the HTML widget ties in with Wix’s devotion to all things simple. Just like everything else in Wix, HTML widgets can be added with just a click, a drag and a drop. Simply select HTML from the Widgets section of Wix, and select a widget. Users can also write their own code by using the “blank HTML” widget, or just copy and paste code found elsewhere on the web.
Abrahami comments, "We have already seen many examples of Wix sites using HTML…The HTML is still in beta but Wix users are already taking it to places beyond our imagination."
There are currently over 4 million users worldwide with Wix sites. The company was created in 2006 and continues to improve its website builder, releasing new and improved features and content on a regular basis. Mangrove Capital Partners, Bessemer Venture Partners and Benchmark Capital are Wix’s investors. Wix.com is headquartered in New York, with offices in Tel Aviv.
