Here is Smoogles Design's run down of the best apps to use with your Wix website. If you need us to implement or discuss any of these apps on your website do get in touch or book a free discovery call with us.
Instagram Feed App
If you want to display your Instagram feed on your website this app is a great way to do it. When installed you connect the app to your logged in Instagram account and there are options to design the layout of the app within. I also find it useful to have a follow us on Instagram button before the feed to encourage visitors to your site to follow you.
Elfsight Google Reviews App
This app from Elfsight allows you to embed your Google reviews into your Wix website, I've written about this app in the following post: Elfsight Google Reviews blog post
FAQ App
This Wix app allows you to add frequently asked questions to your Wix website. Categories can be added too to organise it more efficiently.
Bookings App
If you provide services in person or online then having a booking system can be an efficient way to manage interactions with customers who can select services you offer on a calendar picker. The Wix booking app includes built in automations and follow ups for the booking services you provide such as reminders or booking confirmation emails. For custom functionality there is also Velo Wix-bookings api that can be used to create a bespoke booking experience.
Stores App
The Wix Stores app allows visitors to your site purchase physical or digital products you have to offer. Lots of design posibilities here with this app and options to tweak to create the feel and functionality you desire. Velo Wix-stores api also allows for custom functionality. It can also be used to connect to a dropshipping app like modalyst.
Pricing Plans App
The Wix Pricing Plans is suitable to offer customers recurring payment options linked to services you provide or standalone plans. Further customability is achieved using Velo Wix-paid-plans API.
Blogger App
The Wix Blogger app is ideal for sharing content on a regular basis and multiple layouts and configurations will suit most requirements.
Members Area App
If you have a store or booking system you will most likely require a members area. Your customers can manage notifications for delivery of services and products and a lot more information beyond that. The member area can be created from scratch using Velo if the built in Members app is not sufficient for your needs.
Forum App
A forum is used when visitors to your website need to discuss publicly between themselves. The posts and categories privacy can also be linked to pricing plan so you can monetize certain sections of the forum if required.
Groups App
Groups are ideal for your members to discuss amongst themselves in public and private groups that you can easily manage.
