Wix.com Crosses the 3 Million Users Mark on Its Birthday

    NEW YORK, NY, March 02, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Wix.com is an up and coming start up in the field of web creation. The company developed a powerful and sophisticated free website builder that uses a GUI that is both intuitive and easy to use no matter what experience level or background the user comes from. The website also provides lots of free Flash templates that were created using the same free website builder, have been categorized by type and style and are easily customizable.

Wix was first established on February 28th, 2006, while its first open beta version was launched June 2008. This past Sunday the company celebrated its fourth year and has just surpassed the three million milestone, meaning over three million Flash website designs have been published using Wix's technology. These websites were created in a large variety of fields, but some of the more popular niches Wix occupies include small businesses, non-profit organizations, photographers, musicians and artists.

While the company started with what was originally a simple and basic free website builder, it has since updated and developed its software extensively. It's constant update is one of the reasons it's been able to maintain a strong foothold ahead of the competition. Over the past few months it has added new galleries, widgets, templates and other features, in addition to its collaboration with different online services, the most prominent of them is the recent collaboration with Flickr. Wix users can access and purchase images from the Flickr database directly from the builder.

Wix co-CEO Avishai Abrahami prides himself for the company's success in keeping up with their client's demands and wishes: "We initiated a wish list forum that allows our users to contact us directly and share their thoughts and ideas with us. They can suggest new features and developments they'd like to see at Wix and vote for suggestions that are already on the board. This lets us know exactly what are users are craving and where they'd like to see the builder go next. It also allows us to prioritize the developments while staying connected to our users and their needs."

Wix has its headquarters in NY and offices in Tel-Aviv and it is backed by Mangrove Capital Partners and Bessemer Venture Partners.
