How do you build a website on Wix?

Building a website on Wix is straightforward, even if you're a complete beginner. Here's a comprehensive guide to get you started.

Getting Started with Wix

First, head to Wix.com and create an account using your email or sign in quickly through Facebook or Google. Once you're in, you'll face an important decision about how to build your site.

Choose Your Building Method

Wix offers two main approaches:

Wix ADI (Artificial Design Intelligence) uses AI to automatically generate a website by asking you questions about your goals and preferences. This is perfect if you want a quick setup with minimal effort.

Wix Editor gives you full creative control with a drag-and-drop interface. You can choose from over 2,000 professionally designed templates or start from scratch with a blank canvas.

Customize Your Website

Once you've selected a template or let Wix ADI create one for you, it's time to customize:

Design and Content

  • Edit text and media by simply double-clicking on any element
  • Add images and videos through the Media Manager
  • Customize colors and fonts to match your brand identity
  • Add multiple pages and organize your navigation menu for easy browsing

Enhance Functionality

Visit the Wix App Market to add powerful features like contact forms, booking systems, e-commerce stores, blogs, and marketing tools. These apps integrate seamlessly with your site and require no coding knowledge.

Optimize for Success

Wix provides built-in SEO tools and wizards to help your site rank better in search engines. The platform also automatically creates a mobile version of your site, though you can further customize the mobile experience to ensure it looks perfect on all devices.

Launch Your Site

Connect your own domain name or purchase one directly through Wix. You can also set up professional email addresses that match your domain. Once everything looks good, preview your site and publish it with a single click.

Ongoing Management

After launching, use the Wix dashboard to monitor traffic, update content, and add new features as your needs grow. The platform makes it easy to evolve your website over time without starting from scratch.

Latest Features

Wix continues to innovate with AI-assisted creation tools, enhanced mobile optimization, and advanced customization options through Wix Studio. Whether you're building a portfolio, business site, or online store, Wix provides everything you need to create a professional web presence.
