Wix vs CargoCollective

Wix has an add-on store, called the App Market, that includes community developed bits of functionality (such as comments, calendars and integrations with third-party services) that you can add to your site. The store includes both free and paid add-ons.

There's a selection of elements you can choose from in the sidebar that you can drag and drop into the page and edit. There are common elements such as text, images and buttons as well as less common elements such as blog or online store. All elements can be adjusted to some extent to fit your needs. For example, you can change things like the font, weight and style of text and even crop, adjust colors and apply filters to images.

Wix comes with various kinds of templates based on the users genre and needs, ranging from personal, blog, club, portfolio to commercial.

This means you can add custom interactions and API's to your site when needed, but do most of the editing in a GUI. This helps you avoid the need to redo an entire site if you need custom interactions. Also dead easy to connect a database and have dynamic components based on CMS updates.

Websites built with CargoCollective can use the custom built-in video player. This means that there's no need to upload your videos on Youtube or Vimeo if you want to put them on your portfolio.

You can also configure templates to make your website look the way you want it to. For this, it's only required that you know a little HTML and CSS, nothing too advanced.

You can choose between 30+ pre-made templates before building your portfolio website.
