Wix Apps Hackathon
Details
Wix is inviting developers to create Apps for Wix App Market in a hackathon competition where they can learn, network, innovate and win free office space and mentorship. But most importantly, Wix invites you to create an application and have it exposed to millions of people.
Every month, 1 million people build their websites with Wix. They all visit the Wix App Market. Which means hundreds of Apps installed every day!
Our developers, designers, product managers and UX experts will be there to assist as you create your dream App.
This is the time to take your talent and innovation and put them out for the world to see!

About Wix & Wix App Market
Since 2008 more than 28 million websites have been built using Wix's state of the art, drag-and-drop web building editor. Renowned for its creative, no-coding-needed flexibility, small businesses and individuals have flocked to the Wix platform. More than 4 million people engage with the editor each month, publishing more than 1 million new websites during that same time frame.
With this as a foundation, a massive new web developer opportunity presented itself in October of 2012 as the Wix App Market launched and was integrated within the Wix editor. How big an opportunity? At present there are more than 300,000 App installations through the Wix App Market every month. Currently, with less than 70 Apps in the App Market, the average App is getting more than 3,000 installations per month.
