How can I edit my Wix website?

Editing a Wix website is straightforward and can be accomplished through the intuitive Wix Editor interface. Here's everything you need to know to make changes to your site.

Accessing the Editor

To begin editing your Wix website, log into your Wix account and navigate to your dashboard. Click the "Design Site" or "Edit Site" button to enter the editor. Wix offers two main editing options: Wix ADI for automated design assistance and the Wix Editor for full manual control over your site's design and content.

Editing Content

Modifying content on your Wix site is intuitive and direct. Simply click on any text element to edit it inline, similar to using a word processor. A pop-up toolbar will appear, allowing you to change fonts, sizes, colors, and styles.

To update images, click on them and select a new file from your computer or use Wix's media manager. You can also add new elements like galleries, videos, or buttons by using the "+" (Add) menu located in the left sidebar. Wix provides built-in editing features for media, including resizing, cropping, and video masking.

Managing Pages and Navigation

Access the Site Menu or Manage Pages section within the editor to control your site structure. You can add new pages with the "+ Add Page" button, rename existing pages, reorder them, or delete pages you no longer need. Each page has its own SEO settings where you can edit metadata and social sharing details to improve your site's visibility.

Customizing Layout and Design

Wix uses sections, strips, and columns as the basic building blocks for page layouts. You can add, duplicate, delete, or reorder these elements to create your desired structure. Customize backgrounds for sections with images, colors, or videos, and use columns to control content alignment and spacing.

For global design changes, modify site-wide colors, fonts, and themes through the editor menus. Headers, footers, buttons, and links can be customized by selecting and editing them directly. The drag-and-drop functionality makes repositioning elements simple and visual.

Mobile Optimization

Don't forget about mobile visitors. Switch to mobile view in the editor to customize and optimize your site's layout specifically for mobile devices. This ensures your website looks great on all screen sizes.

Publishing Your Changes

Once you've completed your edits, preview your site to see how it looks. When you're satisfied with the changes, click the Publish button to make your updates live. If you've upgraded your Wix plan, you can also connect a custom domain to give your site a professional web address.

The Wix Editor's combination of direct inline editing and drag-and-drop functionality makes website editing accessible to everyone, regardless of technical expertise.
