The Wix HTML5 editor
Maybe it's best to start explaining what's so special about HTML5.
​
Basically it allows effects and animations very similar to Flash. But you won't find any Flash on this site. What's more is that file sizes are small, which leads to faster loading times and a better user experience. Find more details here.
​
Check, for example, the transitions when you go to a different page on this website. That's the HTML5 website builder in action.​

This should be improved:

- Currently there is no undo button - you can try to use CTRL-Z. Sometimes it works. It happened quite frequently to me that I do a wrong click and subsequently move elements around by mistake.
The navigation
At this time the navigation features only one level. Basically this disqualifies Wix for larger websites with more complex site structures. It will be interesting whether Wix will add a feature like this in the future.
​
The navigation can simply be added to the site via Add > Buttons​ & Menues > Text Menue (or Button Menue)
​
That's especially an issue for multi-lingual Wix websites. There is only a completely manual way to create a website in more than just one language. Learn more here.
What we are missing:
Right now features are quite limited: there is no blog and no e-commerce. The general idea of the HTML5 website builder is great but maybe it's better to wait until it leaves the Beta phase.
