Meet @wixfreaks - a team obsessed with helping businesses thrive online.

This week, they showcased 2 incredible projects showcasing what’s possible with adding code to your site.

First up, a custom web app that helps them convert leads more effectively by automatically sending a summary of their meetings with clients.

Take a look here.

And their second project shows a multi-step calculator that they can adapt for multiple sectors including e-commerce, healthcare, finance, investment websites, and more. Perfect for calculating shipping costs, BMIs, potential returns estimates, and more!

Both projects are mind-blowing and go above and beyond :exploding_head:

If you haven’t watched the videos showcasing these projects, all I’ll say is - you’re missing out.
