Wix offers a wide range of professionally designed templates that you can use as the foundation for your website. The templates are categorized by industry, style and features, making it easy to find one that suits your needs.

The templates are designed to be customizable, so you can easily change the layout, colours, fonts and images to match your brand and style. You can also add your own content and features, such as contact forms, social media buttons, e-commerce tools and more.

When choosing a template, consider your website's purpose and audience. For example, if you’re creating a website for a small business, you may want to choose a template that is specifically designed for businesses, while if you're creating a personal blog, you may want to choose a template with a more casual or creative style.

Each template includes a variety of pre-designed pages and sections, such as a homepage, about us page, services page and contact page, which you can customize or delete as you see fit. Many templates also include additional features, such as image galleries, video players and blog post layouts.

While your website may be optimized for mobile devices, it's important to keep in mind that it may not look exactly the same on a mobile device as it does on a desktop. Some design elements, such as text size and layout, may need to be adjusted to fit smaller screens, and some features may be presented differently.

You can use a custom domain with your Wix website by connecting it to your website through your Webnames account. We offer you the option to purchase your domain directly through Webnames, or you can connect a domain that you have purchased through a different registrar.

Go to your Wix Plan Overview Page.
Click the Manage Plan button.
In the Connected Domain section, select a domain from your account, or choose to connect to an external domain that is registered elsewhere.

We do not charge any additional fees for connecting a custom domain to your website, but you will need to pay for the domain separately, either through Webnames or another domain registrar. The benefits of purchasing your domain through Webnames though is that all your billing and renewals will be housed in the same spot, making it easier to manage.

No, you do not need a separate hosting plan or SSL certificate if you use Wix to build and host your website. Wix provides web hosting and SSL certificates as part of its all-in-one website builder platform.

When you create a website with Wix, your website is automatically hosted on Wix's servers, which means that you do not need to purchase separate web hosting with Webnames. Wix also includes an SSL certificate with both plans, which helps ensure that your website is secure and encrypted.

Wix's SSL certificate provides HTTPS encryption for your website, which is important for protecting sensitive information such as passwords, credit card details, and other personal data. This is especially important if you are running an online store or collecting customer information through your website.

To get a personalized email address that matches your domain, you will need an email service provider.

The free Wix plan is a great way to try out Wix and for some people and/or situations (temporary events, community groups, etc.), it may be the only website presence you'll ever need. You can add a free Wix website to your cart directly from this page. Beginning your building journey with a Wix free website is a great way to get started on your business website and familiarize yourself with the platform before committing to a paid plan. You can upgrade your free site to a paid plan at any time, which unlocks premium features like the ability to use a custom domain of your own, removal of Wix ads from your site, increased storage and eCommerce functionality if you choose a Business plan. Upgrading also allows you to make use of important marketing integrations such as Google Analytics.

Wix users have two main ways of going about the website creation process – they can use the Wix Editor or use Wix AI Builder to do the heavy lifting. AI Builder and Wix Editor are not different products, but rather two "options" or "modes" that you can choose between to build your Wix website and are available with all Wix plans. The classic Wix Editor is the option chosen by most users and provides the greastest long term flexibility for updating, changing and customizing your Wix website. Wix AI Builder expedites the process of creating a fully functional, ready-to-go website while still allowing you customize the layout, design and branding at will.

You can start building your website with AI on a free Wix plan. If you wish to connect custom domains, enable online payments, or access additional features, you'll need to upgrade to a Premium Plan.

If you already have a Wix account, log in to your account and click "Create New Site". Click "Start chat" on the next page to start building with AI. Once you've finished the setup steps, you'll be dropped into your site dashboard, where you can click "Design site". If you're just beginning your Wix journey or starting with the free builder, simply follow Wix's setup process and questions. The flow will lead you into your dashboard where you can click "Design Site". Next, choose the option "let Wix build a site for you" to get started.

Wix AI Creator significantly speeds up the website creation process, creating a fully functional website customized to your specific needs in minutes. You collaborate and interact with the AI site builder to provide direction and feedback along the way, experimenting with various themes, layouts, and more, until your website is a reflection of your vision.

Personalization is at the heart of our AI Creator. Your website is crafted according to your preferences, guided by the information you provide while interacting with Wix's AI chatbot. After you have reviewed your site and made sure that it meets your requirements, you can continue to fine-tune the layouts, themes, and more using additional AI tools until it matches your vision precisely.

After you have created your website with the AI Creator, Wix has a variety of built-in AI tools available to you in the editor that can help you further customize and improve many elements of your site.

Wix's Website Building AI Tools include:

AI Text Creator - Wix's AI text generation tool can be accessed from the Wix Editor within certain modules (e.g., product descriptions, or wherever you add a text element to a page) or from Wix's website templates to generate copy for an entire site. Tap Wix to create hundreds of unique product descriptions in a matter of minutes. Or, get the creative juices flowing with fresh, punchy text ideas.

AI Image Creator - With the Wix AI Image Creator, you can create high-quality, personalized image content quickly by providing well-structured prompts and applying your preferred image style. AI Image Creator will generate multiple versions of an image for you to choose from to use on your website.

Image Auto Enhancement and Auto Background Remover

AI Section Creator - This tool uses AI to generate and add relevant sections to your website to optimize your site building experience. The generator takes your site information into account, creating content sections and relevant copy that you can adjust to your liking.

AI Meta Tags Creator - AI Meta Tag Creator will automatically present three optimized suggestions for title tags and meta descriptions based on your existing page content which you can further refine and tweak if desired.

There are some important advantages, especially if you’re already a customer, of getting your Wix plan through Webnames. An important benefit is having all of your website services (Wix, domain name(s), business email, etc.) integrated and manageable from your Webnames account under a single login. When your services are consolidated and can be accessed in one convenient location, both security and efficiency are increased by reducing logins, passwords and authenticator verifications. Also, you have the added benefit of support for all of your online services between our Webnames customer support team which can assist you with everything from your domain name to tier-one Wix support, in addition to being able to access Wix customer support.

You can use any domain name that you wish with your Wix website, however if you are a Canadian business starting a new website, a .CA domain offers some advantages. A .CA domain signals to search engines like Google that your website and/or business is Canadian. This can be beneficial as it may help your website get prioritized in search results for Canadian searchers searching for businesses like yours within Canada. There is also greater availability in .CA than .COM which can make it easier to find a memorable domain name that can help create a strong brand identity.
