How do I change my website name on Wix?
Changing your website name on Wix is a straightforward process that can be completed in just a few steps. Here's how to update your site name to better align with your brand.
Quick Method: Using the Dashboard
The fastest way to change your website name is directly from your Wix dashboard:
- Log into your Wix account and navigate to your site's dashboard
- Click the "More Actions" icon (three dots) located near your site name
- Select "Rename Site" from the dropdown menu
- Enter your new site name in the dialog box that appears
- Click "Save" to confirm the change
Alternative Method: Through Settings
You can also rename your site through the settings menu:
- From your site's dashboard, click Settings in the left sidebar
- Under General, select Business Info
- Enter your new website name in the site name field
- Click Save to apply the changes
Important Considerations
It's crucial to understand that changing your website name in the dashboard only updates the internal name you see in your Wix account and editor. This change does not automatically update your domain name or URL that visitors see.
If you want to change your actual website address (the URL), you'll need to handle that separately through your domain settings. For custom domains, you may need a premium Wix plan.
Additionally, if you want to update the SEO title that appears in search engine results, you'll need to modify that separately in the SEO settings within your Wix editor.
This simple process allows you to keep your site name current as your brand evolves and grows.
