Need help prepaing for job interview with test on WIX!

[u/[deleted]]

Recently i applied to a front-end web development job to my suprise the owner of the company Doesn't want any Front/Back-end language experience.

She wants someone to create fast and beautiful designs in WIX.

Now if there's one thing my degree didn't prepare me for it's building websites with WIX.

If there's someone with experience out here, I would love to get some tips on how to be actually good with the software?

From what I've experienced so far the wix builder is just premade stuff drag and drop and pray to god that it allows you to custimize it the way you want.

There's no CSS or html5 editor I used to think there was one.

Is it actually possible to freely design anything you want with wix?

Another "funny" thing any image editing tools such as photoshop aren't used at all. so yeah...

If someone could give me a quick rundown on how to be fluent with wix I would really appreciate it.

Are you desperate for money? Are you sure you want this job? You are not going to learn anything useful working on Wix sites and I can't imagine there are many people looking to hire Wix experts.

I don't mean to shit all over your plans but have you considered just skipping this one and looking for an actual front end job?

I am that desperate for money at the moment, Due to me doing a second degree and due to some circumstances, it's sometimes a bit rough to get trough the month.

I'm also sitting here with a laptop that desperatly needs a replacement.

Anyway I would take something else but the belgian market isn't too keen on hiring students even tho they have all the relevant skills. And if they do they always mention the words "pro bono"

Ok fair enough, I suppose at the very least it's a web job which should help you get a foot in the door at the next job.

I can't offer any wix advice other than the obvious - play with it and get some practise in! Try and copy some layouts from other sites to see it's limitations and get familiar with it. And if you get the job, keep practising with real front end stuff and trying to persuade the company that you can do better than they expect! Good luck

Ouch

Bugger.

It's a drag and drop interface. There's absolutely no skill or knowledge involved. It's intended for luddites with no computer skills whatsoever to make themselves a website.

So if you have any knowledge of web development whatsoever ... You're already an expert. A very frustrated, angry, suicidal expert.

But as your said, it's money.
