What is the Wix App Market?

The Wix App Market is a place where you can find all of the apps that you can add to your Wix website.

Why do you need apps? If you build a website for your business the traditional way, meaning you pay a designer and developer to do it for you, you will define a set of functions that you'll need. Each function is something that the developer builds using open source or their own code. Examples include forms, event calendars, a booking app, and many other useful features that you’ll find on professionally-developed websites.

Since Wix is made to accommodate the needs of non-technical users, you need to find a way to add these functionalities and capabilities to your website without having to code them yourself. This is where apps come in. When browsing the Wix App Market, you can find loads of great apps that can easily be added to your website to optimize it to your target audience.
Many of the apps are available to you for free while others have additional features that can only be unlocked for a price. You'll see these listed as "Premium". There are a lot of premium apps that are very useful, depending on your personal website needs.

Below, we will cover 5 great apps that will take your website from ordinary to great.
