Taking Control of Your New Wix Website



Congratulations on Your New Wix Website!


Welcome to the exciting world of website management with Wix! We've built a fantastic website for you, and now you're empowered to keep it fresh, engaging, and informative. This comprehensive guide will equip you with the essential skills to manage your Wix website with confidence. We'll cover everything from navigating the editor to adding content, optimizing for search engines, and keeping your site secure.


Getting Started with Wix Editor

  • Logging In: You'll receive a welcome email with a link to access your Wix Editor. This is the central hub where you can edit and update your website content. Bookmark this link for easy future access.


  • Exploring the Interface: Spend some time familiarizing yourself with the Wix Editor layout. Here's a breakdown of key areas:


  • Left-Hand Menu: This menu provides access to all the essential editing tools and website sections. Here, you'll find options for editing pages, adding content elements (text, images, videos, forms, etc.), managing menus and navigation, customizing the design, and accessing website settings.


  • Top Bar: The top bar displays various options like "Undo," "Redo," "Save," "Preview," and "Publish." Use these buttons to navigate your editing workflow and make your changes live on your website.


  • Content Editing Area: This is the central section where your website pages are displayed. Click on any text, image, or element you want to edit to access its specific editing options.


  • Page Toolbar: When you click on a specific page element, a toolbar appears above it, offering editing options relevant to that element (e.g., font size and style for text, cropping and filters for images).


Mastering the Art of Editing:

  • Adding & Editing Text: Click directly on any text element you wish to modify. A text box will appear, allowing you to edit the content. Utilize the editing options above the text box for formatting (bold, italics, font size, color, etc.).


  • Updating Images & Videos: Click on the image or video you want to replace. You'll be able to upload a new file from your computer or choose one from the Wix Media library, which offers royalty-free stock images and videos.


  • Adding New Pages: Click on "Menus & Pages" in the left-hand menu. Here, you can add new pages to your website by clicking the "+" button and selecting either "Blank Page" for a custom layout or choosing from a variety of pre-designed templates for a faster start.


Taking Control of Your Content:

  • Adding Content Elements: Wix offers a wide range of content elements you can add to your website to enhance its functionality and user experience. These elements include:


  • Text & Headings: Create informative content, titles, and headings to structure your website effectively.


  • Images & Galleries: Showcase your products, services, or team with high-quality images. Wix allows you to create beautiful image galleries for a visually appealing presentation.


  • Videos: Embed videos from YouTube, Vimeo, or upload your own video content to engage your visitors and explain complex concepts in a dynamic way.


  • Buttons & Forms: Add call-to-action buttons to encourage visitors to contact you, subscribe to your newsletter, or make a purchase. Wix also offers various form options for collecting information from your visitors.


  • Social Feed Widgets: Integrate social media feeds like Facebook or Instagram to display your latest posts and keep your website visitors engaged.


  • Editing Content Layout: Wix provides a user-friendly drag-and-drop interface for arranging your content elements on each page. Simply click on an element and drag it to the desired location on the page.


  • Optimising Content for Mobile: Ensure your website looks great on all devices (desktops, tablets, and smartphones) by utilizing Wix's mobile-responsive editing tools. In the Editor, you can preview your website's mobile version and make adjustments to the layout and content specifically for mobile users.


Next Steps: Exploring Advanced Features

Once you've mastered the basics of editing your website content, you can delve deeper into Wix's advanced features to enhance functionality and user experience:

  • Menus & Navigation: Structure your website's navigation by creating clear and user-friendly menus. Wix allows you to customize the menu appearance and link them to different pages on your website.


  • Website Settings: The website settings section lets you manage various aspects of your website's functionality, such as SEO (Search Engine Optimisation), social media integration, favicon upload, and connecting your custom domain name.


  • Wix App Market: Explore the Wix App Market, a treasure trove of free and paid apps to maximise your website.
