Wix has an advanced toolset that allows for more custom development and a fully functioning backend. It’s called Corvid and it is included atno extra charge for anyone who uses Wix. You can create databases simply and it also features built in authentication functionality with social media logins.
Tablemaster:
Wix allows for the integration and display of a google sheet to act as a backend database that can be edited and added to. This plug-in is called Tablemaster.
- More information can be found here: https://www.wix.com/app-market/table-master
- This plug-in was used in order to display a google sheet on the page of a Wix page and filled a role that other website editors did not have without custom code or outside API integration. This allowed for the sheet to continue functioning as the DB without outside intervention.
- A couple of tips:
- Create a new sheet on the google sheet and choose that to display when working with table master - this allows you to select which information that you are showing rather than showing all of the cells unnecessarily.
- This can be further automated by linking one page to another to transfer information as it is added - i.e. if a row is added on the main sheet, specific cells will be copied to the “shown” page through a simple =(click on cell) function by just clicking.
- This function can then be dragged to infinity, which allows for continuous copying of added rows and information.
- Publish the google sheet by clicking File → Publish to the web. The link you get through this tab will be the link you use in Tablemaster.
Wix also has a plug-in for making really easy charts that are easily edited called Chart Ninja.
- Charts Ninja can be found here: https://www.wix.com/app-market/charts-ninja
- This allows for the import of CSV files to generate visuals with the information if necessary, but otherwise just allows for easily editable charts that are not hand-drawn.
- By using this extension, clients can update the data and not have to use excel or an outside editor to make the visuals with every update.
Wix also has a promo code on student beans that can be applied for the first year to receive a 50% off the yearly premium plan. Create an account on student beans with your utexas email address to access the code. Additional information can be found here.
