Our Verdict

Editor X is a powerful new website builder from the team behind Wix. It’s designed with web developers and creative agencies in mind, with several exclusive features, such as built-in code editor, support for custom databases, and simultaneous editing by multiple members of a design team. These features may be great, but they have a steep learning curve, so it's not a good choice for first-time web creators. Editor X is also pricier than most other website builders we’ve tested, but the price is more than justified if you can take advantage of all the platform’s customisation features.

For

  • Extremely flexible site editor
  • Simultaneous editing
  • Supports databases and APIs

Against

  • Not beginner friendly
  • Not yet compatible with all Wix apps

Editor X is a new drag-and-drop website builder from Wix that offers more flexibility for designers and agencies. It’s a whole lot more complex than the original Wix editor, but Editor X is unparalleled for designers who want complete control over their website. 

In fact, Editor X is one of the most advanced website builders we’ve tested yet, with features like a built-in development environment, simultaneous editing, and database support. It's definitely a step up from the original Wix, but if you're up for jumping into the world of web building, this is a fantastic platform to launch off. Be sure to see our page on Editor X vs Squarespace, too.
