Wix's Move Into Vibe Coding Is Going to Be Expensive
Wix.com offers a software-as-a-service content management system for building websites. The firm earns revenue by selling subscriptions to its platform, where users can easily build, host, and maintain a website. Wix’s advantage is the ease of use of its main platform, Wix Editor, which appeals to do-it-yourself individuals and small and midsize businesses with less demanding website requirements (self-creators). However, Wix is moving upmarket by targeting agencies and freelancers (partners) who build websites on behalf of others, mainly midsize businesses. Wix offers a variety of add-ons to a user’s website, such as payment services, email marketing, paid ad campaigns, Google Workspace, and apps created by Wix and third parties. With the acquisition of Base44, the firm has moved into vibe coding, a software development approach in which artificial intelligence generates code from natural language prompts, allowing users to build applications using plain language instead of writing traditional code.
