How do I create a website on Wix? | More resources

Creating a website on Wix is straightforward and accessible for beginners and experienced users alike. Here's a comprehensive guide to help you build your website from scratch.

Getting Started

First, visit Wix.com and sign up for a free account using your email, Facebook, or Google credentials. After verification, Wix will ask you questions about your website goals, target audience, and preferred style to personalize your experience.

Choose Your Creation Method

Wix offers two primary ways to build your site:

Wix ADI (Artificial Design Intelligence) automatically generates a website based on your preferences—perfect for those who want a quick setup with minimal effort.

Wix Editor provides complete creative control, allowing you to select from over 2,000 professionally designed templates and customize every element.

Customization and Design

Once you've selected your creation method, you can customize your website using Wix's intuitive drag-and-drop editor. Add text, images, buttons, and other elements by simply dragging them onto your pages. Organize your site structure through the Pages & Menu panel, where you can add new pages, manage navigation, and ensure consistent styling throughout your site.

The Media Manager allows you to upload and organize images and videos, while interactive elements like forms and buttons enhance user engagement.

Preview and Publish

Before going live, use the Preview feature to see how your website appears on both desktop and mobile devices. Make necessary adjustments to ensure optimal user experience across all platforms.

When you're satisfied with your design, choose a pricing plan. Wix offers free plans with basic features and a Wix subdomain, as well as premium plans that include custom domains, enhanced features, and no Wix advertisements.

Ongoing Management

After publishing, optimize your site for search engines using Wix's built-in SEO tools. Regularly update your content, monitor visitor behavior through analytics, and add advanced features like e-commerce, booking systems, or marketing tools as your needs grow.
