Having been associated with some form of web design/support/maintenance over the past decades, I'm quite impressed with how the wix platform works! I used it for one year to see how many adds I couldn't stand, like some other web platforms. I actually didn't mind the small wix add because it was a free site and I had tons of my photographs loaded. I like the editor and the many free apps/buttons/tools. This year I took advantage of their savings and locked in my own domain and upgraded to Premium. Now it's really cool to have my own little domain like a real person, not just some FB junkie. Anyway, I'm a big fan of Wix.com so please enjoy! BTW, it does take work to learn it, so don't criticize it unless you've seriously spent some time to understand it. I'm sure it's not powerful enough for some mega techies, but for the common humanoid, it works fine.
Hello Jim,
Thank you for spending the time to share your feedback with ViewBug! We are sorry to hear about the confusion regarding our membership levels. Like any other photo website, we do have paid membership options starting at $6.99/month and $59/year so members do not have to spend hundreds of dollars a year. Also, we usually offer special promotions to our members that helps them save anywhere from 15% to 35% on yearly memberships.
We currently have a total of 100 photo contests and 19 of them are Free contests which is almost 20% and you can confirm this information at http://www.viewbug.com/photo-contests. While most photo websites are not offering any Free contests at all, ViewBug members can submit photos to all of our Free contests and win prizes worth up to $2000. As a result, we have many happy Free ViewBug members.:-)
We’d be happy to learn more about how we could have improved your experience with us. Please feel free to contact our member support team via email at members@viewbug.com. We look forward to hearing from you!
Have a nice day!
Your friends at ViewBug
