People usually start looking beyond Wix when a site outgrows the free-form editor, for example when keeping many pages consistent becomes tedious or when a designer wants tighter control over responsive layouts. Others want a more curated design aesthetic with fewer decisions to make, or they are concerned that sites cannot be exported and moved to another host.
