Why do people create a site using programming languages if they can easily design it on websites like Wix?

You can buy a prefab home from a contractor who’s building 10 identical homes and maybe pick out some different materials here and there. Or maybe an apartment in a new 10 story apartment complex. Then go to Ikea and buy a bunch of standard furniture for your home. Or you hire an architect who designs your house from scratch to fit in your plot of land and then have skilled carpenters custom build your furniture so it matches precisely in the rooms of your house. Depending on your needs and how much you’re willing to pay you can choose your best fit. Sure the apartment building will probably have a decent water and electricity setup going on. Probably some security cameras at the entrances and a badge to enter the common areas, and that’s good enough for most people. But if you want control over every aspect of your house, like an extra garage for your fourth car, a private golf course, an in door pool and infra red security scanners, you need to own the place to do so. Similarly, making a simple website on platforms like Wix is probably easy and fast and will fit the needs of small businesses. But if you have special requirements for it then you’ll have to look at having it custon made. Things like this could include stuff like… Handling a ton of visitors, store tons of data, a people-will-die-if-we-get-hacked level of security, run special code (like a game, or a conversion tool, or a generator for making sudokus or crosswords or …). Also if you’re dealing with highly sensitive data, you may not want a third party (like Wix) to even be able to process and secretly log or save that data either. Imagine the apartment building’s security system recording 24/7 in the common areas. You don’t really know how long they keep that footage. Or maybe the walls between apartments aren’t as sound proof as they should be. So if incredibly wealthy people come to visit they may not feel comfortable enough discussing business strategies with you.
