Which Wix plan is right for me?

Hi!

I’m confused about which Wix plan I need.

I’m creating a site to use with my advent calendar from nov 20th to december 31st.

All I need is:
1 landing page with an optin form
1 automated “thank you” email
1 content page with 24 light boxes on it (YouTube videos embedded on the light boxes)
Ability to send emails to all subscribers (I expect about 500) every day for 24 days

I use Wix editor.

I’m wondering which plan I need, and specifically how much it will cost?
I find it hard to use the comparison charts as it does not mention how many emails I can send each month.

I hope someone can help me :slight_smile:

Unless those videos are heavy, I think the light plan should suit your needs, worst case you can always upgrade

As for the light boxes, use a single one, and simply change the link embedded dynamically

Thanks! How many monthly emails are included in the light plan? I’m asking as the pricing chart does not mention it.

And are you saying 24 light boxes is not possible anymore? I’ve done that every year and it’s worked fine. Has something changed?

Don’t know about the emails, sorry

As for the lightboxes, it can be done that way, but when making websites and software, there’s a concept called DRY (Don’t Repeat Yourself)

If your lightbox is a simple popup which shows a video, simply create a single lightbox and havei t source the video according to its context

page.js

import wixWindow from 'wix-window-frontend'

$w('#repeater').onItemReady(($item, itemData) => {
    $w('#openLightbox').onClick(() => wixWindow.openLightbox('lightboxName', itemData))
})

lightboxName.js

import {lightbox} from 'wix-window-frontend'

const data = lightbox.getContext()
console.log('This lightbox has been opened with the following data', data)

The data object set as the lightbox’s context is the data for the CMS item populating the repeater
The CMS item can have a field representing the video’s link, so that your lightbox can simply set that link to whatever appears within the CMS item

What if you had 100 items? 500?
A single lightbox can handle all that without having to rebuild anything

Thanks DeanAyalon! That makes sense.

In this case it is 24 different videos (one for each day of advent), so I won’t be repeating myself, only adding more content as the days go by.

I don’t know your exact use case, but if your lightboxes are all generally going to look the same, that’d be repeating yourself 24 times

If they’re all unique with different layouts and everything, then go for it

Thought I’d jump in - all the Premium plans include a base 200 email a month. To increase this, you’ll need to upgrade your Email marketing plan which can be found via the dashboard. Marketing> Email marketing. There’s a few buttons/cards that mention your quota with the option to upgrade :slight_smile:

Is it 200/month or just plain 200?

Just edited - it’s 200/month
