Starting from the bottom…

Wix is a self-hosted solution.

Templates?

In Wappler you can use any template you like! Any! There are millions of free or paid templates in the internet. Wix comes with only 500 templates and you can’t import more.

The one place Wix suffers a lot of complaints is that once you’ve chosen a template, you can’t simply switch to a different template when you feel like a redesign. Prepare yourself to start completely from scratch if you ever want a different look. You also can’t export your template to use on a different website builder because the code is custom to Wix, meaning if you choose Wix, divorce is not an option.

File ownership is a security issues too
