To prove that, we want to show you a nice set of Wix website examples along with their WordPress-made counterparts. So what do you think, who wore it better, Wix or WordPress?
Wix website examples vs WordPress
1. Monica Pack Pilates
A site about fitness and exercise, created as a single page and using a nice parallax effect between the sections. The design has colorful and catchy elements.
Torno Bambino
This is a website of a creative studio from Italy, specialized in front-end design and development. The site has basically the same one-page, parallax and colorful design. Pretty much the same structure, only they are used for different topics.
2. Animal Music
A nice website of an agency specialized in video advertising. The design is simple: a video header with a short introduction about the team, followed by a 2-column portfolio with large images.
Dusty Dog Marketing
Just like above, this WordPress site has a full-screen image in parallax. Dusty Dog also displays flat-screen monitors design for showcasing portfolio. This site uses colorful fonts to make the landing page more interactive.
3. Brown Owl Creative
Another great case of Wix website examples. A great full-screen site of a web design agency where they showcase their best creations in an appealing manner. The sections have vintage, Windows 98-like fonts and buttons. The visuals are plenty and they are all large and beautiful.
EssenInternational
The WordPress variant of the design agency is very beautiful as well, with a modern full-screen layout along with large images and animations. The site also comes with a big slider, a white-and-black color scheme, and an interesting preloader, which is actually their brand logo.
4. Adam McCain
A personal site made by Adam McCain in order to promote his own brand and career projects. The site looks simple, professional, and features large images on the homepage. Adam McCain uses parallax scrolling and a one-page design – a popular choice among Wix website examples.
Krispykrush
For a WordPress alternative let’s have a look at another digital and design agency. This site uses an elegant, full-screen design and a white-and-black color mix. The website is stylish and offers a great grid portfolio with large visuals.
5. Sonja van Duelmen
This is what an art director’s site looks like. All the sections have been turned into portfolios featuring big layouts and impressive visuals. The works are showcased in various styles: grid, Ajax masonry, carousels, sliders. When you scroll on this site, you have the feeling of being part of a large, broad space. The sensation is amplified by the parallax effect, which offers the scrolling more depth.
Adham Dannaway
This time, a UI/UX designer’s online presence, so we stay in the arts area. It has a very interesting and unique video header, which add colors to his face when you move cursor from left to right. Everything on this page is large, colorful, and uses representative fonts and icons. The animations are ingenious and, together with the overall design, reflect the designer’s artistic vision.
6. Linda Franzosi
This one among Wix website examples is a personal, resume-like site, built as a single page and providing a nice parallax layout. On this site, Linda Franzosi tells people about her competencies and skills by showcasing her best works and projects from throughout her content management/visual design career. She uses a full-screen header and ribbons with her skills.
Dale Soblo’s Watercolors
I just couldn’t help making this post without picking a site that was built on our Hestia theme. It has many of the same features that make Linda’s site so appealing. For example, the one-page layout with a parallax scrolling effect, a portfolio section, and a thin, sticky header menu at the top.
7. Seven Grams Caffe
Another website built as a multi-page, which is actually an ecommerce website. It showcases many products in various content styles such as carousels, video, text with image blocks, columns with multimedia elements, and more. The website is minimalist and uses lazy loading.
Tinkering Monkey
The only difference between these two sites is that Tinkering Monkey is a portfolio site. The rest is just (almost) the same. This portfolio here has more sections overall and a more vivid, creative design.
8. Michal Oren Jewelry
Here we have an online shop for jewellery products. The site is clean and modern, using simple layouts for presenting the products in the store sections.
WageWar
And this is a WordPress alternative – also an online store. The same large visuals, clean store section, parallax effect for scrolling, and nice call-to-action buttons.
9. June Digan
You can clearly notice that this is the website of an illustrator. Original, catchy, lively, and colorful… and, most of all, creative. It has a simple grid-like portfolio and a neat design, but the idea/theme is great. This site is perfect example of how white space can make your site eye-catchy.
I Shot Him
A site for the same purpose, design and illustration, with a full-screen header and a simple appearance. The works are presented in a simple way, only the portfolio has a full-screen featured image for each category. Oh, and read their mottoes, they’ll make your day.
10. Tobias Becs
The profile of one of the best professional football freestylers in the world looks just like this: one-page, parallax effect, video sections, achievements boxes, full-width sliders and more awesome stuff. Everything is in its place, intuitive and informative.
Bloomberg Professional
Bloomberg Professional is a firm with a great-looking online presence, in which they combine video, animated and static items all together. The layout is full-screen and has large images.
11. Max Montgomery
A portfolio site by a New York based photographer, with a full-page showcase design and simple grid galleries. The theme is minimalist, using Ajax effect to filter the images and lightboxes to display each item.
Violeta Noy
Apart from the full-width header that the WordPress website uses, these two sites have the same design and layout. Moreover, they are both portfolios.
