About
Founded in 2006 by Avishai Abrahami, Nadav Abrahami and Giora Kaplan, Wix was born to empower anyone to create their own website with no previous coding or design skills. The idea surged when the founders were trying to create their own website and found it very difficult, frustrating and costly.
