Company mission

Wix's mission is to empower anyone to express themselves and build their online presence.

Our take

Creating a website involves many difficulties, such as the high costs associated with web development companies or the lack of flexibility when it comes to altering the navigation after the website is finalized. Wix is a provider of cloud-based web development services that aims to change this by providing millions of users worldwide with an easy-to-use powerful cloud-based platform of web development and management products.

Wix enables any type of user - from self creators to business owners and professionals to agencies - and any type of business to fulfill their plans online with a complete digital solution. The software company also provides users with the option to hire a professional in the Wix Marketplace, for expert assistance in design, development, and Search Engine Optimization.

Demand for the company’s products is constantly increasing, mainly due to the accelerated digitization process caused by the pandemic. In 2021, Wix was trading at more than $20 billion and they serve over 200 million users worldwide.

Company values

  • We Build the Best Products - A real product solves a real problem, but a great product does more. A great product also creates an atmosphere, an emotional experience. Like art, great products should be beautiful, inspirational, easy to start and hard to master.
  • We Are Transparent - We think incredible people need to be well-informed to do incredible things. We want our employees to know what’s going on, what the plans ahead are, what worked, and what failed. That's why we have all the information out in the open.
  • We Measure Everything - Measuring is the only way to find out what works to improve our products. If we can't measure the impact something made, do we really need it? We only load things to production when we know how to measure them.
  • We Allow Failures - Trying to avoid mistakes costs more than making them. We encourage our employees to dream, do, test, try, try again and fail. It happens. It’s better to do 10 things, fail at 6, and have 1 incredible success, than to do 1 safe thing that isn’t amazing.
  • We Are Pros - Wix employees are amazing in their fields of expertise, masters of their professions, and always improving. We think our employees should already be excellent today, not in the future, and we encourage them to never stop striving to be even better.
  • We Own What We Do - Our responsibility to each other is to ensure we all have what we need to do the best job possible–and to raise hell if we don’t. We encourage our employees to say simply and directly what they think, not what people expect them to say.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at Wix

  • Just as Wix believes that everyone has the right to be successful online, the same vision defines us as an employer: creating a work environment where everyone is welcomed, and anyone has the opportunity to grow, succeed, and make an impact.
  • We see it as part of who we are, and are committed to investing in diversity, equity & inclusion (DEI) at Wix. To do this, we’ll build a workforce that represents a variety of identities, experiences and perspectives, ensuring all employees have the equal opportunity to reach their potential and feel that they belong.
  • We believe that cultivating a respectful and inclusive workplace is everyone’s responsibility. To create a culture where everyone feels they belong, we all need to take part and influence change. At the same time, we also recognize that we need a continued and strategic focus on DEI within our organization. To do this, we launched two groups to lead DEI for Wix in the US:
  • - The DEI Concept Squad: A group of five of business leaders and DEI subject matter experts who are leading a long-term strategy for DEI at Wix. This strategy includes a focus on education, partnerships, ERGs, data and metrics, and more.
  • - The DEI Collective: A group of 20+ business leaders, subject matter experts, and Employee Resource Group (ERG) leaders working together to carry out the DEI strategy, bringing to light the areas where we have opportunity to improve, and ensuring we have a diverse collective of voices involved in these efforts.
  • Additionally, we have three employee-led employee resource groups (ERGs) committed to strengthening DEI through community, allyship, learning, and advisory:
  • - sKinTech creates a space to learn about and celebrate the intersections of identity through the lens of cultural, racial, and ethnic backgrounds. Their mission is to build a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive community at Wix and in tech.
  • - Wix Rainbow provides a community of connection, support, and empowerment for LGBTQ+ employees and their allies to advocate for inclusiveness in the workplace and beyond.
  • - Women in Leadership is a safe space for powerful women in leadership to come together and collaborate, share experiences, and brainstorm ideas for change.
