The Simplest Way to Create a Website: Step-by-Step for Beginners

If you’ve ever thought, “I need a website, but I don’t know where to start,”—you’re not alone. The good news? Wix makes it easier than ever to create a beautiful, professional site without needing to write a single line of code.

Whether you’re launching a business, portfolio, blog, or online store, here’s a step-by-step guide to get your Wix site up and running in no time.

Step 1: Sign Up & Choose a Template

Go to www.wix.com and create a free account. Once you’re in, Wix will ask what kind of website you’re building—business, portfolio, blog, etc.—and recommend templates based on your answer.

You can also browse the template library and pick one that suits your style. Each template is fully customizable, so think of it as your starting point.

Step 2: Customize Your Site Design

Use the Wix Editor (drag-and-drop interface) to:

• Change colors, fonts, and layout

• Add your logo and brand images

• Update text and section headers

• Insert buttons, menus, and links

• Add animations or visual effects (if desired)

  
  

Take your time here—this is where your brand’s personality shines.

Step 3: Build Your Pages

Think about the basic structure your visitors will need. At minimum, include:

• Home

• About

• Services or Products

• Contact

You can also add a blog, booking page, store, or testimonials—depending on your goals.

Use the “Add” (+) button in the editor to create new pages or sections as needed.

Step 4: Set Up Website Settings

Go to your site settings to:

• Choose your site title and favicon

• Connect a custom domain (you’ll need a paid plan for this)

• Set SEO basics like page titles and descriptions

• Add a contact form or booking widget

• Integrate with tools like Google Analytics or Facebook Pixel

This step helps you get found and stay connected with your audience.

Step 5: Optimize for Mobile

Click the mobile view icon to preview and edit how your site looks on phones. Wix makes this easy—just drag or resize elements to ensure everything displays cleanly on smaller screens.

Step 6: Publish Your Site!

Once you’re happy with the design and setup, hit “Publish.” Your site will go live on a free Wix subdomain (e.g., yourname.wixsite.com). You can upgrade to connect a custom domain like www.yoursite.com anytime.

Bonus Tips:

• Add a chat widget or email signup form for better engagement

• Use the Wix Blog or Wix Store app to expand your functionality

• Revisit your site regularly to update content and improve design
