Wix site

Having spent years as a Wix Blog editor, I know that learning how to make a website can be intimidating, even when using a website builder that’s as intuitive as ours. I’m still discovering new and exciting ways to use it.

That’s why I think Wix Learn is one of the most exciting additions to our toolkit in recent years. Don't get me wrong; we're constantly rolling out fantastic new features and products. But what sets Wix Learn apart is its ability to elevate your understanding of our platform through step-by-step, expert-led lessons. It’s a dynamic, interactive platform fully optimized for helping users of all levels unlock the full potential of Wix.

That’s enough fan-girling for me. So without further ado, here are the 10 most essential Wix tutorials.

1. Set up your site: “Get to know the editor”

2. Customize the layout: "Work with sections & strips"

3. Make it your own: "How to customize your site themes"

10. Add your own code: "About Velo"

01. Set up your site: “Get to know the editor”

Getting started is typically the hardest part of any creative endeavor—but that’s not necessarily the case with Wix. As Wix Editor Specialist Ali Flood explains in this lesson, you can choose to start with the site generator, a website template or a blank slate. “This video is going to take you through what templates are, how they work and how to choose the right one for you,” says Learning Designer Allison Shelton. “Then, it’ll show you around the Editor and explain what you can do.”

In seven short minutes, you’ll get a comprehensive overview of the workspace. You’ll get a sense of the foundational design elements, including sections, site themes, layers, the media manager and the mobile editor.
