Wix is an e-commerce platform that offers various tools and features to help you sell your products or services online. In this article, we will discuss what is Wix, how to use Wix, and how much Wix costs.

What is Wix

Wix is a website builder that allows users to design and customize their own websites without any coding skills. You can create and manage your online store by selecting from Wix's hundreds of templates or using its drag-and-drop editor to start a site from scratch. You can use Wix to add apps and widgets to your site and integrate it with social media platforms and email marketing services.

How to Use Wix

alt The steps for creating a website:
1. Go to www.wix.com and use your email address to create an account. During the sign-up process, you must answer all questions about the website you're creating.
2. You can choose a free plan or a premium plan for your site depending on your budget and needs. The free plan allows you to create a website with a domain and up to 500MB of storage and bandwidth. The premium plan offers more benefits and features such as a custom domain, more storage and bandwidth, advanced analytics, and priority support.
3. Choose from 800 templates or start from scratch. You can browse through the categories or search for a specific industry or theme.
4. You can use Wix ADI (Artificial Design Intelligence) to create a unique web design or use Wix Editor to visually design your website by moving around page elements or typing directly on the screen.
5. To customize your site using the web editor, you can drag and drop elements such as text, images, videos, buttons, forms, and menus to your site. You can also use the editor to change the background, colors, fonts, and layouts of your site.
6. Go to the Wix App Market and browse through the apps and widgets that you can add to your site. You can also connect your site to external services such as Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Mailchimp, and PayPal.
7. After creating your site, review its content, menus, and features. Make any necessary changes to it. Then publish your site by clicking on the Publish button at the top right corner of the editor. You can also save your site as a draft and edit it later to make changes before you publish it.
