I have tried out Weebly - another website builder last year:

Comparing Wix with weebly  from http://getawebsitebuilder.com/comparison/wix-vs-weebly

My comment: Though Wix looks impressive with the flash interface and free templates, I am quite hesitant to use it long term as the disk space for the free version is only 500MB.
I remembered when I first started my website in 2002 - I used Yahoo page builder. I had to migrate some to blogger after they decided to impose a charge somewhere in 2006...it was a nightmare as I had over 20 sites and I lost some data as I could not transfer the data for some. However WIX will be a useful website builder which the students can use to present and reflect on their findings. It is user friendly and the graphics is visually appealing.

Google site is another useful website builder which you might want to try.

I am still more comfortable with blogspot.com - faster updates!
