I used wix to build a site a while back. Generally, sites like this are not that great. I've heard good things about Squarespace and Shopify though. I see you've taken a bunch of the Wordpress courses here so there's no point in have a click/drag site done! Build it yourself :) That's what the skills you learn in treehouse are for!

It is not for me, I was hired to take over a website that was built on wix. Not the best, very amateur looking site. I was wondering how difficult/easy it would be to work with the site. Do I get behind the scenes access like with wordpress?If not, then I will work with wix software, if allowed, transfer the domain to my dedicated server and just rebuild the site with wordpress/php or basic html/css coding.

When working with Wix, you get a backend but it won't be anything like what you get with Wordpress. From what I remember there is not functionality for blog posts and there are very basic customization features. They do however give you access to customize the CSS, so you'll be able to have some fun with that. Don't expect PHP to be involved though.
