Wix Free Website Builder 2019 Review for Business Owners

Posted on 19/08/2019 by Jude Cavale

As we hurtle towards 2020, we probably might assume that every business has a website of its own. However, studies show that close to 36% of businesses in the US still don’t have a website. The percentage of businesses that do not have a website is even higher in other countries. If you are a small business owner, you can take it for granted that your business desperately needs a website to survive 2020 and beyond. This is where Wix comes into the picture and helps you set up a website quickly using the Wix free website builder. In just a few steps you can expect your website to go live, thanks to Wix free plan.

One of the major reasons why businesses, entrepreneurs and freelancers often do not have a website is, they assume they cannot afford one. Thankfully, they couldn’t be farther from the truth. Today, it is possible to create a customized website using just a domain and a hosting plan that often comes for just a few dollars a month. However, setting up a website all by yourself may seem like a daunting task. Fortunately, a Wix website can be set up by anyone with access to a computer and internet connection.

In this article, let us take a look at what Wix is and how you can build a website using Wix quickly.

What is Wix?

Wix is a cloud-based web development platform that helps users such as you to drag and drop elements, and create websites in no time. You do not need any experience in coding or web design to set up a professional-looking website of your own, that also ranks well in search engine results. Built on a freemium model, Wix allows users to upgrade as and when they want. To begin with, you do not have to worry about shelling out a huge amount of money.

How does Wix stack up against its competitors?

A quick look at Wix website reviews may leave you confused. However, we have explained how it fares with two other popular and easy-to-setup web development platforms: Squarespace and WordPress.

Here is a quick Wix Review, 2019.

Wix vs. WordPress

Wordpress Pros	Wordpress Cons
Offers a lot of choices with respect to templates, plugins and features.	Too many features can overwhelm you.
	You need coding knowledge to customize your website.
	You also need your own web hosting.

On the other hand, Wix is free to use, requires no coding knowledge and has stunning templates. Just choose your template wisely as you can’t change it once you publish your website.

Wix vs. Squarespace

Squarespace Pros	Squarespace Cons
Squarespace has beautiful templates	It is not easy to use
It is great for those working in creative industries	Can prove to be expensive to those who are on a budget.

Wix free plan offers similarly beautiful templates and is easy to set up thanks to the drag and drop features.

Who is the winner?

Wix is clearly the winner as it is free to use, offers beautiful templates and is easy to set up and use. Wix free website builder allows anybody with a computer to build snazzy websites.

Before building a website, make sure you have the following ready

There are a few things you need to keep in mind before publishing a website on Wix.

Make sure you know what kind of website you want by looking at other websites in your industry.
Understand the purpose of your website. Is it to get more leads? Provide information to your customers? Sell products on a platform? There are many possibilities.
Get all your content ready. Make sure you have a logo, some images, videos (if you have any), web copy and sample blogs, CTA (calls to action) text, etc.
Keep a site map ready that helps you build all the pages you want. Most businesses need an “About Us”, Homepage”, “Contact Page”, “Services/Store”, and “Blog”.
Have an idea what colors you want and stick to a uniform branding across all the website and your stationery
Make sure to create social media accounts and have them ready so that you can insert them into your Wix editor aka Wix free website builder.

Keyboard light hack lets users play Snake

Posted on 25/11/2014 by Federico Lo Giudice

Gadgets, phones and technology have evolved so much that we don’t even need screens anymore to play classics such as snake, as this hack evidences.

Snake might be one of the ultimate time wasters, timeless as it’s simple yet addictive. That is why Hackaday user [Sprite_TM] chose to revamp the classic to work without screens, computers, or anything except a lighted keyboard. This keyboard’s only particularity is that it has individually addressable LEDs, one of the current fads amongst makers, bur other than that it’s just a regular keyboard with a few specialized functions. When [Sprite_TM] took it to work, a colleague joked, saying ‘you’ve had this keyboard for 24 hours now, and it has a bunch of LEDs and some arrow keys. I’m disappointed you haven’t got Snake running on it yet’, which sounded a lot like a challenge to him.

The keyboard itself is the Coolermaster Quickfire Rapid-I, a board with a small ARM Cortex CPU and 32k of RAM. which was plenty for this project.Using an executable file that overrode the updater, [Sprite] made a back-up of the defaults, and started programming on it. And note, even though playing Snake is the part we found the most amusing to make a story about, there’s plenty users can do with a hacked keyboard like this, so check the original post at Hackaday for more ideas and information about the project.

3D Printed Super Mario Animated Cloud Pendant

Posted on 13/11/2014 by Bernie Mota

DIY tech blog Adafruit shows us the combined beauty of 3D printing, micro controllers, and the nostalgic gaming retro skies of Super Mario Bros.

The blue pixelated skies of the original Super Mario Bros. is as nice a view as they come. And if you could wear it around your neck? That would be better, and is exactly what you can do with Adafruit’s 3D printed pendant, which plays an animated scene of the Super Mario Bros. clouds.

Shaped in the appropriate visage of a Nintendo Gameboy, Adafruit inserted their custom-made microcontroller, the Pro Trinket, as the base for this unique piece of jewelry. The Pro Trinket measures 1.5″ x 0.7″ x 0.2” around. Tiny, but featuring enough processing power to run the 1.44? LCD display that’s playing the looping animation.

The process requires a little soldering know how, along with the use of a 3D printer, but Adafruit’s simple step-by-step video can easily guide you into rocking your own pendant.

Chris Fenton’s 3D Printed Turbo Entabulator Is a Mechanical Marvel

Posted on 25/09/2014 by Alexandru Chiuariu

Chris Fenton's 3D Printed Mechanical Entabulator

As demonstrated by the Greeks in their Antikythera mechanism, computers are not all about 1s and 0s. Chris Fenton’s 3D printed mechanical computer, for example, requires a bit of cranking in order to perform tabulations.

Chris Fenton is a designer and electrical engineer that spends most of his work day around very fast computers. As you can see on his website, he’s quite a fan of 3D printed contraptions, and given the mechanical nature of these gadgets, it’s no wonder that after a day’s work, Fenton prefers to spend his spare time on things that move slower.

The Turbo Entabulator, as Fenton called his implementation of his mechanical FIBIAC machine, is inspired from an 1895 copy of The Mechanism of Weaving. It should be noted that while his FIBIAC machine was an electromechanical computer that uses punch card to calculate the Fibonacci sequence, the Turbo Entabulator is entirely mechanical and for the most part, 3D printed.

The 3D printed computer includes nuts, bolts, springs, rubber bands and a few small bearings, along with punch cards, which are also 3D printed. It has a steampunk air to it, if only the color palette matched the theme. Nowadays, there are plenty of 3D printers that print in color, but considering how many of Fenton’s projects are brought to life using this method, he probably doesn’t want to invest more in an expensive 3D printer, since the functionality would be the same, and that’s what really matters for him.

“Run the machine under water if you want, it won’t care. It’s all ratchets, gears, and pulleys. The machine is entirely driven by a central crank-shaft with a handle attached to it. Want to overclock this monster? Crank faster. There is something about entirely mechanical systems I find appealing. The inner workings aren’t hidden in a nanometer-sized sliver of silicon, operating on pico-second timelines,” explained Fenton.

Assuming that Fenton got this right the first time would be a mistake. He pointed out that building the Turbo Entabulator was very much a trial-and-error process, and that he went through around 20 iterations of the machine before being satisfied with how it looked and worked.

I also liked the fact that Fenton named his 3D printed computer after the turbo-encabulator, a fictional machine that became an in-joke for engineers. The designer was also kind enough to offer the blueprints necessary for 3D printing the parts at home, should anyone want to reconstruct his project.

Tech Enthusiast Creates Playable Tetris T-shirt

Posted on 08/07/2014 by Bernie Mota

A do-it-yourselfer creates a unique mobile version of Tetris that doesn’t require a smartphone or a gaming handheld.

I remember as a kid playing Tetris on my Pikachu yellow Game Boy Color (hey, don’t laugh!), thinking how it couldn’t get any better than this. Fast-forward to 2014 and now someone on the Internet has fashioned a playable version of the classic block-puzzle game on a t-shirt, basically leaving my childhood nostalgia in the dust.

Presented in all its ingenuity, is Marc Kerger’s Tetris shirt. Fully playable – albeit from an unusual “stare down at your chest” position – and powered by 128 LEDs, an Arduino single-board microcontroller, and a few batteries, all smartly embedded within a simple cotton tee. Here’s Marc explaining how his Tetris t-shirt works.

VIDEO TO ADD [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsi3bIHlKv4]

Pretty awesome. Sure, it might not be able to track your score, but for a do-it-yourself project? A highly technical one, I might add! It’s brilliant. Who knows where t-shirt based video games can go from here? Today, Tetris? Tomorrow, Super Mario 3D World?! Okay, maybe not.

How to Install Android L Right Now

Posted on 03/07/2014 by Stephen Colbert

Andoid L won’t be officially available for a few months, but that doesn’t mean the more saavy Android users haven’t found a way to get their hands on it

It has officially been a week since Android L was unveiled at Google I/O. The new version of Google’s mobile operating system brings many visual changes, added features, and performance increases, but so far Google has only made the developer preview officially available to registered developers, meaning there is not an official release available to the general public.

The official release will come sometime this fall, but no exact date has been give yet. IT will initially be available on some Nexus devices, and per usual trends, the Moto X, Moto G, and Moto E will likely follow suit very shortly, along with all the Google Play editions of current flagship phones. Other manufacturers (such as HTC) have made a commitment to making sure the official Android L release (if that remains the name into production) is available for its primary flagship devices within 90 days of the official release.

If you don’t like waiting, though, there’s no need to fret. Android’s open source platform attracts hackers and developers of all kinds and an aspiring user over at XDA forums has created a usable version of the Android L Developer Preview that can be installed on a rooted Nexus 5 or Nexus 7.

Before you go running off and trying to do this at home, take note that this is a fairly technical process that–if done incorrectly–could wreak havok on your Nexi. If you’re up to the challenge (or already comfortable with rooting Android devices), Phone Arena has developed a useful step by step guide to install the Android L Developer Preview.

It’s also important to take note of the “Developer Preview” tag. This is not a final software version and I would highly recommend not installing it on your primary device. Even if you are successful, it will not be a fully functioning phone, so you will have a lot of trouble using it for many day-to-day tasks, and many apps may not even work at all.

If you’re interested in the benefits of Android L, but aren’t so adventurous that you want to go rooting and installing custom software on your phone, many of the new Android performance benefits are available in phones running Android 4.4 Kitkat.

Android’s runtime (a system that determines basic software operations) has traditionally be Dalvik, but in Android KitKat, the option to switch to the ART runtime was made available. ART initially didn’t offer much, but now with Android L, it will bring a massive performance boost to most apps. You can switch to the ART runtime in Android KitKat by following our instructions here.

Although the only way to get the full benefits of the final public version of Android L will be to wait until this fall, but maybe this will provide the more impatient Android enthusiasts among us a way to kill some time while they wait.
