Performance
Lag
Performance on the Wix site and Editor were excellent. I used the builder on multiple wifi networks and did not experience lag at any point. For a live demo, see Drag & Drop Editor video below.
Collaboration
Adding a collaborator was simple via the admin dashboard. I did, however, hit a slight snag attempting to use the collaboration feature in real-time. The Editor would only allow one user on the page at a time. Click the video for details:
