Base44 for businesses: three applications and when not to use it
Base44 builds websites and web apps from a description. Three practical applications, what you need, how management works and when Wix Studio or Harmony is a better fit.
Base44 is the AI-driven platform from Wix for building websites and web apps by describing what you need. That sounds broad, and it is. So here are three concrete applications, and when you're better off choosing something else.
1. A business website with its own admin
What is built: a fast, multilingual website with a tailored admin where you update texts, blog, portfolio and SEO settings yourself.
Example: flor-it.com runs on Base44. The site has four languages, an admin for texts, blog, A-Z index and portfolio, and an AI button that translates content.
2. A client portal with login
What is built: a secure environment where clients log in to follow projects, share files or submit requests.
Example: the MY FLOR IT client portal is built with Base44.
3. A price calculator linked to quote requests
What is built: a tool where visitors choose options, see an indicative price straight away and send their choice as a request.
Example: the price calculator on this site automatically puts the chosen modules and payment option into the contact form.
What you need
- A clear goal: which request or task should the site or app make possible?
- Your texts, images and the data the app should store.
- The steps of the process you want to support, such as from enquiry to quote.
How management works
You update day-to-day content in the admin built for your site. New features or larger changes are added through the Base44 AI builder, usually by a specialist. Hosting runs on a Base44 subscription.
When not to use Base44
- You mainly want to design pages visually yourself in an editor: Wix Studio or Wix Harmony fits better.
- You need a standard web shop with all familiar e-commerce features: an e-commerce platform such as Wix Stores is often simpler.
- You have very specific requirements or complex links with existing systems: additional custom work is needed.
