Story: Look for potential
In a previous Blog about Wix, I was honestly surprised by what Wix can do. It may be more flexible than ordinally WordPress theme. It was Wix YouTube channel. So, I can understand why it’s high quality.
In this blog, I would like to correct the inspired Wix website.

– Vertical donate button
– Color palette
– Horizontal loading text
– Scroll color transition
– Horizontal loading text
The balance of the third section is good. If I have completed color pallets and a client does not have many attractive images, I would like to use this layout.
*Website has some small issues, width.
Gym by Wix Template

This is a template, but I can see good points. Position fixed on the booking button, but it is not on the header. So, it catches a user’s attention. Bold fonts suits the gym theme. Video, parallax, and image on 4th section is a good rhythm.

– Image revealing
The combination of video and image looks useful. Logo, humbarger menu and 2 social media on the corner, fixed position, are minimum. Image installed hover action, but it does not link. It makes me confused. High-quality graphics/images cover small issues. Images apply art direction. Maybe Wix has an issue. When I scroll and back to the hero section, images do not show up. Anyway, this is good work.

– Ballance of full width and padding width
– Usage of video and picture
Obviously, she is using a photographer. It raises her value. In other words, a low-budget client does not contact her. She chose the right designer. Video, photo and website have consistency.

– Parallax scrolling
During the Wix website research, I often found this fixed frame style. It is not so unique, but it still works. The full-screen menu, bold red background, is sharp. This is a textbook for parallax usage. Hero and 2 sections look the same order, illustration, product and scene photo, but it changes the 3 and 4 sections intentionally. The direction of illustration, style and tone of the website, typography all fit and consistent.

– Percentage of position fixed and graphics
I think this portfolio is for recruiting rather than looking for clients. I was thinking about who is a target audience, who will contact the designer, but I could not figure it out. This is not criticism. Many designers, included me, should reflect on their portfolios.
I assume that a designer is still young, enough talent for graphic design. The majority of businesses need a solution, not an art.

– Hover action
Variety of works. The background of the hero section and animation catches the user’s attention. A well-described process on the project page. Appropriate usage of sticky interaction. Good job!

– Perspective
– Font size
Many blogs feature this website as a good Wix website. Nice hero section. It’s wild. Portfolio for gaming, high-quality illustrations shows his/her talent(or team?). The process does not show the process actually. I should emulate connecting a shop page on the portfolio. Overall, talented!

– Good grid gallery
VFX itself is a good job. There is a rhythm in the grid layout. She can replace some images with video/animation. It will be quick communication. I have no skills for 3D right now. Someday.

– Slideshow on hero section
– Layout, white space
Artistic photography fits this layout. I don’t know how much she was involved in the art direction and styling. This is not the Wix website, but learn from this website, typography, rich white spacing, and image revealing.

– High-quality 3D graphics with a seamless background
I cannot recommend emulating this website if you are looking for an ordinary business client. The 3D graphics do not relate to much business. The 3D graphics and portfolio have a gap. This website is good, but you can stay basic, value proposition with CTA at hero section.

– Many photos on the video background, but still navigate where the user goes
I checked an about page, but he does not say who he is quickly. He is an artist. So, it is okay this way. The website chooses a client. The niche is good.
Wix Playground Academy

I searched Wix website references. Most cases are Wix blog and the website which picked up are Wix playground students. I want to find more generic website, not a portfolio.
Conclusion: To be continued
I learned Wix in October 2021. I don’t know how much the client is willing to pay for the Wix website. I need to research for a couple of months. In 2022, I would like to find 3 new clients which want to develop a website by the Wix.
