Building a website used to require coding skills and technical knowledge. Today, platforms like Wix have made the process incredibly simple—especially with AI.

In this quick guide, you’ll learn how beginners can create a professional website in minutes using Wix.

Getting Started

To begin, sign up on Wix using your email. Once inside, you’ll be asked what kind of website you want to build—personal, business, blog, or portfolio.

Here’s where Wix stands out:
You can use its AI setup tool, which asks a few questions and automatically creates a basic website for you.

If you prefer, you can skip AI and choose a template manually.

Choosing and Designing Your Website

Wix offers hundreds of professionally designed templates for different industries.

Once you pick one, you’ll enter the drag-and-drop editor, where you can:

1. Edit text by simply clicking on it
2. Change images or upload your own
3. Adjust layouts and sections
4. Customise colours and fonts

No coding is required—everything is visual and beginner-friendly.

Adding Features and Pages

You can easily expand your website by:

• Adding new pages (e.g. About, Contact, Blog)
• Inserting sections like testimonials or services
• Dragging in elements such as buttons, images, and videos

Wix also has an App Market, where you can install tools for:

• Bookings
• Marketing
• Social media feeds
• Analytics

This allows your website to grow as your needs evolve.

Managing Content and Business Tools

Wix includes built-in tools to help you run your website effectively:

• Create and manage blog posts
• Add services or booking systems
• Upload and organise media
• Optimise your site for SEO

There’s even an AI feature that can help generate content, saving you time.

Optimising for Mobile

A large portion of visitors will view your site on mobile devices.

Wix lets you switch to mobile view and adjust how your website appears on phones—without affecting the desktop version.

Publishing Your Website

Once you’re happy with your design:

1. Preview your site
2. Connect a custom domain (recommended for professionalism)
3. Click Publish

Wix offers both free and paid plans, but upgrading removes Wix branding and gives you a custom domain.
