Why we still need Web Developers (despite services like Wix, Squarespace etc).

- I got an interesting question by a student: "If we have services like Wix etc. - do we still need web developers and is it still a good idea to learn web development?". A very interesting question! Here's why we still need "real" web developers and why services like Wix and Squarespace are great but not the right tool for everything!

It's like asking why we need cooks when you can buy instant mac and cheese in the supermarket
Perfect analogy
@@Augastine1 hahaha. nice
This
👌👌👌
Good one
Best example is -> you cannot make a site like wix with wix 🙂
Wow 👏
Your a genius
Perfectly described. Well done sir 👏
How many of the web development clients come and ask
I need website like Wix or UA-cam or Facebook
Think rationaly
It's a serious threat
@@hariharan-wt6qk No, his point still stand. The point of coding is so that you have no bounderies and can create whatever you want. These have limits
10min. In one sentence:
Wix for websites only, not for web apps.
...or simply
You cant build wix in wix.
@@herp_derpingson use stones to destroy stones
@@PhileasFogg Ill try explain in simple sentence. web apps is more than displaying information. things like facebook, youtube can be considered web apps because they have many complex functions. website mainly focus on displaying information.
@@Ryyza7 so an online e-commerce store is a website or web app ?
@@Aditya-lc5uk most popular e commerce stores are web apps.
Wix: a simple 'web powerpoint'. The World needs developers all the time
Yeah, world will always need developers
That's a good way of putting it. Useful if you just need something that's presentable with a pretty focused purpose, but is incapable of being truly feature rich and complex.
Why do you sound insecure chill out man.
The web isn't just for websites any more. Web apps require web developers
@@dsdsspp7130 Hell no hahaha, websites are static text, almost nothing of input required, more like a landing page with a few links on it to display more text. Web app? Take a app on your phone and throw it in a browser, THAT is a webapp. You clearly don't know the difference. Websites don't require (necessarily) javascript, a backend, DPs, security, scalability, ... They are way more sophisticated in a way you will only understand if you create them yourself.
I cringe at the idea of building a full featured web app entirely with wordpress.
websites ≠ web apps
Indy Van Canegem clearly you know nothing about Web sites.
@@happyfreeky snob incoming
Will share this video to those stubborn clients who thinks web development is all about drag and drop 😆
true
90% of your clients dont't need any more than SQS or WX
@@oliverp8006 Can i pls see that statistic?
🤣
well actually depends, if they just need 'a website that show content', that will do
There is an assumption a web app is only a UI. Enterprise apps have a huge backend infrastructure requiring a huge domain knowledge.
I heard Microsoft is going serverless and the backend is dying- something like that. Your thoughts?
@@AnkurKumar-ur1cj Backend is not dying and probably never will. You will always need or want server side code. Your server running the code can of course be a server cluster (cloud). But it is still code that can not or should not run on the client side. For example: you don't want the clients to access your database directly. This would be a catastrophic security risk. So every time someone needs database access, that request gets processed by some server before it gets send to the database (or rejected).
And server less basically means, that your backend can spread its tasks to multiple servers. Or that there are multiple instances of your backend are running on multiple servers at the same time.
And even if your are going serverless you still need front end developers. Build a f*cking static website with wix is not like building a real front end application. I insist on the word “application”. A front end app need to handle authentication, caching, dealing with rest or graphql api, handle state management and have some business logic. A website builder like wix cannot do that. And even if such tool exist it will not be specific to your use case.
@@AnkurKumar-ur1cj You cannot build a webapplication without backend. Everything in a client/frontend-application is basically an unsafe state which can be manipulated. Therefore business logic has to be always implemented on the server side. Serverless doesn't mean without backend. It means with a data center backend. It's a useless buzzword.
It probably depends on your application. I have looked at Gatsby with Netlify and the concept is pretty cool as a server less application. In an enterprise, you still have a lot of legacy infrastructure. There is more of an opportunity for serverless in start ups and freelance contracts
My take on this topic:
Use wix and squarespace to build websites that will not be the core of your business(like Hotel and restaurant services)
Use a developer to build interactive web applications that are a business by itself
Why?
Because with wix you can you use only prebuilt features so you can't build anything innovative. When one day tools like wix will let us built social media networks then everyone and there grandmother will build one but they will all be equal because you can only use the tools that wix made.And then if you have web developer team you can built new features, new ideas that will let you defeat your wixxy competion by far.
On the other hand since these tools started to allow custom code in their pages you can add your features that are not prebuilt in them. So you can build and host a site easily and then focus on your innovative features. Of course the performance is worse on them and you have limitations on your “custom code”
Again Wix ad before this video too haha
@Star News not possible in UA-cam app kid
@@amongdoomers9464 UA-cam Vanced, kid
@Star News if you use ad block you are affecting the earnings of Academind so don't use such a thing.
Because these people are trying their best to give you good learning content
@Star News Will your dad give the money? Stfu
Don't forget Max:
1. The client don't own the code, if they stop paying you lose the site.
2. Wix in the end is in control of your data they tell so on terms and agreements, they might even use your page to marketing proposes and selling the info to SEO.
3. They tend to be slower and always be slower than cutting edge technologies. Example, static site with Gatsby.
4. They charge few Dollars a month but when you add up the expenses a year might be cheaper to build something on your own.
But yeah in the end is just like you said depend on the business model of the person who needs the page.

Why isn't no one talking wordpress ._. Xd
Tools like Wix did not shrink the market share of web developers. They shrank the market share of many teens building static web pages for their colleagues and neighbors from their bedrooms, though.
Well, now those teens are building sites with these tools.
Thankfully, my neighborhood and friends don't know about wix
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Teen: Should I learn to develop still?
@@giovannilugo. Oh, certainly. If nothing else, for the mental exercise!
While watching the initial part of the video I thought of giving up learning web dev but at the end it really makes sense of learning web dev especially backend development
There is a huge difference between a "Website" and a "Web App".
A Website is like driving an already made car. So yes, use Wix/SS to give you a car, as your primary need is to drive a car and not build one.
A Web App is like designing, engineering and building a car from ground up for specific use case and need.
Two totally different markets which actually complement each other.
I'm a software developer. I've worked for companies that won awwwards, still I've used Wix for my dad's website. No shame in admiting. Reasons: 1) he was constantly changing his mind, even after agreeing with the prototypes. 2) I didn't had enough time. 3) I've spent 70% of the time on taking pictures / photoshopping his products. 4) it's easy and fast to change stuff in the future.
Still Wix is very limited, even in their Developer mode, you can't access all DOM or add all the JS you want.
I think that's a good example of when to use Wix. I also think if someone just needs a site and really doesn't have any specifics in mind, then just using Wix with a ready made template is perfect. Great results and waaaaay less resources and time is consumed than building it from scratch.
I'm a developer myself,I hardly write any frontend code this days, cusz of tons of available free templates , all I do is customize existing templates.
@Windows 10 I'll probably look into it, thanks Windows

Oooooorrrrrrr centos + nginx :DDD
I remember years ago at a job interview for mainframe programmer, telling the interviewer that soon everyone will have computers on their desks. I got a doubtful look and didn't get the job. I have watched the internet grow over the years, and like everything else, there will be trivial and there will be the professional. Hopefully, with people like you who offer more, the internet will remain dominated by Professionals.
Used Wix 3 years ago. Loading time was 20s just for one of the default template. The code base was bloated af.
10:27 LOL that is the ultimate come back
😂😂😂aye
Yes.. Game over..
wix squarespace is showroom whereas web development is factory its so simple
Most small businesses dont really need complex rich applications. Deny if you may but this is definitely eating into a long of work of people who work contractually.
I understand and agree completely with this video, but I felt like comparing apples to oranges sometimes.. Of course a landing page or a simple e-commerce site doesn't compare to such big projects as Udemy, Facebook, UA-cam, etc. But in my opinion that's also not what Wix proposes nor is the problem it fixes. How many beginner or intermediate Web Designers/Developers have the ability to come up with such big projects that Wix doesn't fix (how many can build a Facebook?)? There are a lot of beginner/intermediate Web Devs that build simple websites and e-commerce shops that indeed get impacted by the likes of Wix and can't argue 100% against a client who claims "why shouldn't I use Wix instead of hiring you?" You can say that even Wix may require custom things and maintenance that might require a web developer or that it's our own problem to get super experience and be able to argue that we can build an UA-cam-like project and that it is not possible with Wix, but how many small clients need or ask for it? I hope you guys don't get me wrong or this was too confusing. Cheers!
Yes i get it what you are saying basically it will effect the market of intermediate developers who just builds simple ecommerce project or any simple design projects i.e who not just builds complicated projects
@@deepaksinghbisht739 Yea, it was just a side note though, Max answered the question of the video title perfectly (Why we still need Web Devs even with the likes of wix), so yes, we do need Web Devs because Wix doesn't solve all the problems (like the big projects such as UA-cam or Facebook), but Wix does solve (or facilitate) many of the small projects to medium sized e-commerces, so junior-intermediate devs, who by the way is the vast majority of the public who watches UA-cam tutorials, will get impacted one way or another. Those big projects are also very rarely built single handedly, so that's why I think the message can be a bit misleading as well, the average Joe who is watching this (including me) will always have Wix as a "concern". There are other important points though. I think Wix and other builders need to be taken as tools any web dev can use, rather than think of them as threats. And on the other hand, builders like these have always existed since the late 90's, and Web Devs have never been more requested as today :) so I think we're good!
@@igor9919 also demand for the web development is also increasing
Max is awesome, as always. It's a simple rule exits: if you are not builder, you are not be able to build your own house without issues. And to fix issues you need to pay extra money. With the web development the same situation, you can create your own site, but without any background sometimes impossible to solve problem quickly.
Thank you 🙏 Max, this really hits at home. I was just recently hired and in charge of 12 WordPress sites, the company also has 2 sites built in wix. The first week I was on the job I was in meetings discussing strategies to convert them to WordPress sites 👍👨🏻💻
What were the reasons for the conversion?
As someone who has several websites on services like wix and weebly, my instant answer to this question is YES! Your WYSIWYG website you built using these builders will never compete with a finely tuned site built by a proper web developer. It's like ... racing a Tesla against a schoolie that was frankinstined together from 1000 different vehicles and has hundreds and hundreds of parts weighing it down that it doesn't even use in any form of regular operation. You've lost by the time the lights turn green. I cannot stress enough that if you can't build a website with quality SEO in the modern era then you might as well open a clothing store with no sign on the building, no windows at all, and you know what - just take out the doors to, you won't be needing those. What's the point of having a website at all if people can't find you organically on the web? Feel free to check out my weebly page www.mossaway.ca and test it out on www.gtmetrix.com and I think you'll see there's plenty that needs work. Defer parsing of JS - I can't do shit about that. It was Weebly's job but they're too lazy. Leverage browser caching - I'd totally do that but Weebly doesn't think it's important. Serve resources from a constant URL - there are tools that will help fix this but apparently Weebly doesn't want to put in the effort. Either it's ridiculous how much effort I need to put in to, say, resize an image to fit where I've put it, or it's something you can't even access like the expires headers or js/css that you can't minify because Weebly was too lazy to do it. It's infuriating. So for anyone wondering if this stuff is worth their time. YES YES YES YES YES. Yes. We clear? ;)
I am not sure whether you are aware, wix have Corvid, which basically can transform the web site to web application, with DB, frontend and backend code, cron jobs, possibility to write REST api for the site and more.
Although, as you said, you will need to have a web developer background to use those features with full potential.
Please also compare it with Wordpress especially front end development...
I'd like to do freelance Web Dev work in case I ever find myself jobless - I'd actually prefer to use Django, Vue, etc. over any Web Builder, because then I'll have the full capability of the Tech-Stack at my disposal.
I know I sound stubborn, but I feel like it's hard to find Web Dev clients nowadays for Small Business Websites because we kind of got replaced on that front
can i ask how you deal with the website design. I mean i can build the logic, but usually my websites are not aesthetically pleasant haha
Italian Gentleman what languages do you use
You can't avoid learning front-end coding even though there are templates, frameworks, CMS's, etc. Back end development requires you to create responses to be seen on the front end. You need to know HTML, CSS and Javascript to code, customize and manage those responses.
Honestly half of this video kinda feels like a WIX ad 🤣
and still Max just destroyed WIX at the next half of the video lol.
Whoever asked that question doesn't really understand the specific purpose for those third-party CMS platforms like Wix and others. They don't work with highly customized websites like complex transactional financial applications and social media based apps like youtube and facebook. Yup! you're right, you can only use CMS like Wix if you are using only a content based UI apps like blogs and other portfolio websites. But if you are developing a highly customized complex websites like financial web apps and social media and other realtime communication web apps then CMS like Wix is the wrong tool to use.
because a tool is a tool, and when that tool breaks or doesn't do what you expect, you find out that you need someone that know how that tool is built in order to fix it or get the desired outcome you actually want. this is like saying, "we have fast food, why does anyone need to know how to cook".
We have to thank the companies behind Wix & Co. because they cover the small company proposals which don't really have a budget for a full-stack dev plus a UX/UI designer. I don't know how the community feels but I would be tired of just coding (or in my case mostly designing) corner shops all year long just because there are so many out there that are still not part of the digital era (especially in Germany). I have more fun building new digital products.
Hey Max, interesting take in this video. What is your opinion on over saturation in the market? Year on year a huge amount of new students are becoming 'Full Stack Developers' and whilst its true the majority of businesses operate online and the statistics suggest many students drop out before becoming professional, there is still a finite amount of web jobs available. The best business to be in is teaching web development cause you can profit regardless of this outcome but don't you think we'll see a peak in the next few years and wages will be driven down? Also, regarding self employed or freelance web developers, wix etc have consumed a significant market share because, regardless of the headache, many small business owners are willing to build and update their own website to save money, which they once would have paid in significant quantities to specialist freelance web designers. In closing, it might appear then, the only way to make a full time livable wage in web development is to join a medium to large corporate (building enterprise platforms) or maybe a start up, provided you already have experience/knowledge of a broad tech stack.
Max, your react course is pure gold 🙂
Web Dev here, I got hired by a client to build a website using Wix because he was used with using Wix and wanted to be able to edit text by himself later, add or change pictures for stuff. He wanted a website + store for a small restaurant. The catch is that he was very specific with what he wanted so in the end there was coding involved and there's no way you can reach the level of customization he needed without knowing web development. So in the end, he has a website which is exactly the way he wants feature - wise, and then he can also jump in at any time to do some content updates. WIX is ideal for people who want to start something off and want to save on money, but they will have to compromise on the final product. And that's awesome, not all small businesses can afford professional web dev services when starting up.
Webflow is better than them all.. you can build and export the code and host somewhere else..btw if you're a designer you must at least know to make a home page by coding..
More and more design to codes tools are coming out recently, I am actually trying them. I highly recommend uizard, it turns your hand drawn timeframes into design / prototype / codes, and the html, css codes are clean, structured, easy to work with and customize. the second one I recommend is appealed, it allows us to build a production ready react native app without coding g. It is freaking awesome. anima is the most red hot adobexd plugin that turn design to codes. I have gave it a try, it works pretty well, but the css codes it generates are huge because all the UI elements are positioned absolutes, meaning elements are all hard coded. these are the three tools I used a lot recently, and I want to share with you !!!
Yeah...this is why I always read comment section.👍👍👍
Wix Vs development is like build your own home or renting apartment in building
in apartment you are not allowd to make extra rooms or basements or do any change on the building because its not yours
while in your own home you build and add any thing even swimming pool if you like :)
I've tried them all. Never deliver for me or present themselves in the way I want so I decided to learn to code. I had a head start as I had used the web and have done a fair amount of backend stuff. I like being fully creative so no, they don't suit me one bit. I tried getting a job as a web dev but gave up because I had to go back to driving to get money in (and with my background and skills that was just ridiculous!), now I do my own projects. I'm also handy with Photoshop (trained photographer) and currently working on video production. A lot of SME's create websites and then do nothing with them and don't touch them again, ever. Just tons of out of date material. They use Wix and Webflow, oh, and WP. And they have NO idea of SEO. Serious business looking for a good web presence and to be at the top of the search use Web Developers, helps if they're young, desperate and cheap though. I mean, you guys actually earn a lot less than you did 20 years ago, even 10 years ago. Thanks for the video. Someone mentioned AI in the comments, yes, in time AI will replace even web developers. Simply tell the machine what you want.
Why there are so many restaurants, cafes while you can buy all those products and cook for yourself?
I have had clients that go with wix but they always come back because they can’t do everything they want with wix. Unless it is static content you need a developer.
Oversimplified answer:
Wix = Website (static)
Web Devs = Webapps (dynamic content)
In my opinion learning the very basics of web development or just paying a freelancer a small price is even easier than using a website builder to build and optimize an SEO-friendly website with approriate size and speed in relation to the limited content. Surely some people neither have the time, nor the money and only need a website for a small purpose. The fastfood of the internet I guess. But I still don't understand why on almost every web development video I get annoying Wix ads... :(
FeelsBadMan
So basically if your just going to make something simple like blogs, portfolios or just a personal website, Wix and services like them are for simplicity. More compex its better for web developers than website builders
Next video: Wix tutoral - part 1
🤣🤣
Every software, mobile app, desktop application, requires a knowledge of a software developer, without it i think that sucks
Can you do an in - depth course on OOP design patterns and how they are used in typescript i have been researching them but i don't know when or how to use them. I wanted to understand OOP but i think my problem is i need to see how design patterns are used. I'm even wondering whether or not they can be applied to the front- end at all.
there are many people out there who learns web dev to be a free lancer and earn some money by developing some simple websites like wix offer. Now it's over. & wix/square space etc are just the start. There are more coming which will offer more stuff. So it's Convenient for them to learn web dev in 2020. That's what I think.
Actually, I first started in this web dev path because my company’s e-commerce web site was dreadful and couldn’t be built with Wix or Wordpress, as it needed to be fully integrated with the company’s ERP system. Also, we sell customized products (plastic articles with printed images) and I didn’t find a built in service or third party service for customized products in Wix, Wordpress or even Shopify which fulfilled the company’s needs. So yeah, Web Development is not obsolete at all. If you account trends such as PWAs, microservices, machine learning, BI and the fact that Web apps development and Mobile apps development are closer than ever, I assure you, it is a really desired set of skills that is not going to become obsolete any time soon...
Nonetheless, many enterprise companies are moving their ERP's from the desktop application to Web, and knowledge in web development (and also security) is crucial. That's why you (we) need to keep our skills updated, to solve problems whatever the needs of the company.
Thank's for the video, Max!
I agree about wix. However, I have never seen a complex app or database in our channel. I believe you should provide more advanced contents
When the LEGENDARY MAXIMILIAN speaks, all pple MUST carefully listen!
Wix is for basic web pages. We need web developers for web apps and sites of any complexity.
Hey Max, I'm a long time fan of your courses/videos. Your voice itself motivates me to learn more for whatever reason.... 😅
Please make a course on SVGs, how can we make them + complex animations we can do on them as well as on any HTML element(s) in general. Because as I can see, front end development has grown a lot in terms of design styles/patterns as well as new possibilities. Please take this request into consideration.
Hey, I recognise you... 🤔 You helped me learn Node js on another channel! Thanks for the great tutorials 👍🏾
Please compare wordpress and MERN stack. Please please🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
its like comparing a IKEA furniture to a NASA space Rocket. no comparison.
So what does it mean for most developers, that they should go with wix? So since wix is made for landing pages, doesn't that mean it's most of the market? People that want web applications aren't that large in numbers are they? So where should you niche as a web developer where you don't get outsourced.
in another woeds: we do not need carprenters, we have Ikea.
do we always need pre build furniture?
some times we need something built to needs, and not pre made molds.
Funny thing, I just got a wix ad before the video started.
:D
Well explained---there's a ton of FUD out there about this issue, but you made the distinctions clear. Thank you.
I'm a Web dev I prefer to have full control over my contents and learn overall. Using external services is quite lackluster and meant for people who don't know anything or want to know.
Very interesting topic & great video idea; earned my subscription too! :)
A client asked me to make an e-comm website for groceries, No physical store, only Delivery of the product. I asked him for 7 months and $ 20K, going with the MERN Stack. He said haha..will do it with WIX in less than $500. I told him, you can't make things go working, with wix. and if you did somehow, you cannot scale up things, from there.
After months of hustling, He then invited me to the Grand Opening of his physical store.
And made a digital presence on WIX.
The Paneer Tikka (Indian Dish) at the party was awesome.
There is a problem here...More and more advanced easy to use drag and drop platforms are and will become available to generate almost any kind of application you can think of. The reality is whilst coders will always be needed, other then for really advanced stuff the fees/salaries will drop substantially and it will not be as lucrative. People and businesses will have more options hence unless they are building something very complex they can probably do it themselves or inexpensively hiring someone on fiverr to build it for them using one of these platforms.
These services have it's places and target audience but I think for more complicated websites and web applications, it requires much more work and customisation that a developer can provide more than services like Wix
For everyone who ask this question unironically the answer is: "NO - it is not a good idea for you to become a developer, just use wix".
It's not about website. You can make one with pure html. I think it's will be ugly but the point is that! If you want to create a beautiful website you have to now about typography, color theories, white space, marketing and so on... Web design and web development are still because they solve the client's needs.
I guess one way to put it is that if your website has quite a few CRUD operations with data you likely can’t use wix. Would that be accurate?
The last question asked by you is the real answer of the topic.
Ecommerce site is relatively straightforward... laughing as Hybris developer :D
Can you make a video series will all the etiquettes for building a professional and a secure website, with react and node ?
The big question is. If you are a freelancer or a web development agency and 80% of your market are thretened by this platforms because the real thing is how many web apps are built in the year that works and can pay you lots of money??? Not so much really and that is where the real problem are. If being a developer comes down to just works for these big tech companies is not so cool anymore. But the full replacement isnt gonna be never to the 100% so you can still find customers to your business so it is a threat but not so much people are lazy to built his own website
I don't worry about Wix or Squarespace. But I'm concerned about firebase. It is way too powerful and way too easy to use.
great video helped a lot for my understanding of the differences
Isnt it also true most of the businesses need only a landing page instead of connecting with their customers ?
A probable answer could be the future is good customer relations online, not just offline and those would mean more parts of the web page containing interactive widgets.
Some of these platforms have major problems like Ecwid.ECwid doesn't support many google analytics features, doing SEO is impossible.
I don’t think Wix, Wordpress, etc. allow non-developers to fetch data from an external API (lets say, movies, news, etc) because doing an http request (whether it is Ajax, or .fetch, axios, and promises, etc) requires quite some technical knowledge
I was wishing a video like that. Thank you soo much!
I think we are going through a remeaning (that's how I say that?) of the web developer profession.
But does video trying to say Front end development - still be replaced but not backend?
Man I knew I liked you that I found out that you are in Bavaria. I was stationed at Grafenwohr. I still have a piece of crystal that I picked up on a trip to Flossenburg
These platforms are a starting point only. Once your site is launched, the real learning begins. Especially adding eCommerce. You're limited by what the platform can provide. It works until you find it doesn't. Each have limitations. Shopify just sells "add-on" options where you spend month after month for the same feature a web developer can provide. They appear to promote the "one-size fits all" idea. eCommerce has never been this way.
On some of these sites you can build your own webapps into the site...
and what about Wix Corvid, heard about it being able to do webapps (?)
True but clients usually are not asking web develppers to build youtube or facebook or web apps they 're asking for portfolio & shopping sites
Thank you for gaving me hope! :D
Hi sir,
can we Develop a website like WIX using Angular
how and what plugins it need and how to do this
Never thought like your perspective! Thanks!
Max, Is there any coincidance that I got a WIX ad before your Video !?
There is software that matches ads to the user based on what the user watches. If you start searching for Chevy car reviews, you will start getting car ads.
Using WP or Drupal as headless CMS + Rest API + React(Vue) is future. What are you thinking about it?
all depends on needs
Thank you for this vid, I had lost part of my motivation because of these things (wix etc) but you fixed it !
Glad I could help!
Due to those services it is really to hard to explain and convince to the clients why building a website and a web app by developer cost more time and money.
Thanks Max...I do like the question you ask at the end of the video
It doesn't replace us web developers yet, but it WILL though. It will. Specially with the No-Code movement and investment in AI.
great one brother... i needed this to understand being a web developer
Sorry to pop your bubble. We can build youtube/udemy/facebook like using corvid
example dynamic page, database. without writing any code
www.wix.com/corvid/reference/
but yes there is one thing ( performance )
if you are building a SAAS is not a good idea to build it with Wix
as you will hit some database or performance limitation
Wix Front-end limitation are
you can't write or edit the HTML and Css as they offer Drag and Drop element
But those are limited and you cannot edit it with code
btw, you can also create your own element with or web component, if you like
as recenthly wix support web component.
anyway, you can do a lot more with Wix than Squarespace or anyother website building site
thanks to Corvid(wix code)
IMO the biggest downside are
Speed
you cannot connect with github
multiple dev can't work on it at the same time
Web developer here, you will always need a web developer.
I am a Web Dev, there is plenty of work.. Wix is not a "fix it all".. Custom sites and systems will still be needed :)
Can you build Wix using Wix?...
I think the problem with tools like Wix is that you will always sooner or later find elements that you will want to customize and wich this tool doesn't allow to do. And any application which involves comunication with API cannot be build in this pagr generator. For landing pages/portfolio they are great
You can. Please look for Corvid by wix. It allows you fully customize your website by code - JS ftontend, node backend, a DB, cron jobs, etc.
wow... i clicked on the Video what advert is playing? "wix" xD
:D
I don't consider fair to have WordPress in the same category as Wix. You can create UA-cam or Facebook using Wordpress. Not ideal, but definitely possible.
I mean at that point it would be so eavily modified that it wouldn't be wordpress, it would just be php
@@diablo.the.cheater Yes and No. Let's put UA-cam as an example. We can create a Custom Post Type called Videos. An user can post a new video from the Front-End. and it will be assigned to this user. WordPress already offers an out-of-the-box commenting system. We can easily implement the Like and Subscription mechanism.
I am not saying that it will be an ideal solution, but it's totally doable and could actually perform well.
Here is an example I found on Google: demo3.touchsize.com/gowatch/
The most interesting part according to me in UA-cam is their streaming service, optimization, etc. I wouldn't develop them using WordPress tho, not even know if it is possible. But definitely is WAY more capable than Wix which was my original point.
Hey Andrew, you will be surprised by the speed that you will be able to create almost any web application you want on Corvid by Wix. You can drag and drop elements and add your own JavaScript to create interactivity and logic with the integrated IDE. You have frontend, node.js backend, databases and you can even use your own tools and download the project locally!
@@shevachovich do you recommend any video so I can learn more about this technology in depth?
