Getting Started with Wix

Wix is a user-friendly website builder that requires no coding experience. Here's how to create your website from start to finish.

Sign Up and Choose Your Building Method

Begin by visiting Wix.com and creating an account with your email or social media credentials. After signing up, you'll choose from three building options: the AI Website Builder that generates a custom site based on your answers, pre-designed templates organized by industry, or a blank canvas for complete creative freedom.

Customize Your Website with the Editor

Once inside the Wix Editor, you'll use the intuitive drag-and-drop interface to build your site. Add pages like Home, About, and Contact through the Pages & Menu panel. Click on any element to edit text, change colors, or adjust layouts. The left panel provides access to sections, apps, and media you can add to your pages.

Design and Optimize

Personalize your site's appearance using the Site Design section to modify themes, fonts, and color schemes. Don't forget to check the mobile editor—Wix automatically optimizes for mobile devices, but you can fine-tune the mobile experience. Upload your own images and videos, or browse Wix's free media library.

Add Functionality

Enhance your website by exploring the Wix App Market, where you'll find tools for contact forms, booking systems, social media integration, and e-commerce features. Set up your navigation menu to ensure visitors can easily move through your site.

Preview and Launch

Before going live, use the Preview button to see how your site appears to visitors. When satisfied, click Publish to make your website accessible to the world. Consider connecting a custom domain name for a professional web address.

Maintain and Grow

After publishing, you can return to the editor anytime to make updates, add content, or expand your site. Use Wix Analytics to monitor visitor engagement and make data-driven improvements.

Beginner Tips

Start with a template or the AI builder if you're new to website creation. Focus initially on essential pages and add more as your needs grow. Always preview your site on different devices to ensure it looks great everywhere. The beauty of Wix is its simplicity—you can have a professional-looking website up and running in just a few hours.
