Hi, all! I'm trying to create an e-commerce website via Wix, and I have to say that it seems extremely complicated to add the finessing touches to it. I'm not finding it intuitive at all. Usually, I can easily create brochures, pdf's and things like that, but this Wix thing is driving me nuts! I definitely want to move away from it. Can anybody recommend a more intuitive website builder? I wanted to ask ordinary users that have perhaps found something that works without necessarily needing hours of tuition to master the in-filling of templates. All suggestions appreciated.

OpenOffice and learn how to ftp the files to your site.

WIX is about as easy as it gets.

Some of us poor suckers use vi, emacs and nano to edit the raw html and javascript.

I have used Shopify before for 5 different sites and managed to get each one of them up and going in a day per site.

Well I actually just used a plain old HTML and edited with one of the free WSIWYG editors.

Swapped one of my websites over to Shopify recently.
You can have as much integration as you want or go the whole thing with them.
Themes are not cheap but it's a one off payment.
Monthly sub but thats cheap for what you get.

Thanks for the suggestions. I found Wix to be hopeless for a beginner. I tried Open Office, but it's too much of a learning curve to make it create a website (same problem as Wix). Shopify seems the easiest of all recommendations.
