“Looking at the industry and the way today’s digital solutions are built out, we really wanted to provide one platform where they can do it all,” said Liat Karpel Gurwicz, head of strategic marketing for Wix.com, according to Variety.
“It changes the whole way artists can function online and the way they manage their digital presence.”
