How to Make a Website

Possibly the hardest step in learning how to make a website is deciding what it is you want to create, and the message you want to send from your place on the web. For inspiration, Explore our gallery of fabulous user websites, all made with Wix. You can browse through sites designed in your particular niche, whether it’s a photography website, a business website, an artist or design portfolio, and more.

Keep things organized with a simple sketch of your site’s architecture. Most websites begin with a homepage that connects to a series of inner pages. Depending on your needs, you may want to have an About page, a product gallery and a contact page. Using a pencil and a piece of paper, map out what you want your site’s navigation to look like. Don’t worry about technical or style details – you’ll see how simple it is to customize a website just the way you want, and easily adjust if you change your mind later.

Wix gives you the freedom to create a website just the way you want. You can build from scratch, or use a free web template to get started with a solid foundation for your site, and customize as you go. Take your time browsing the template category of your choice, located inside the Create section. Everything inside a Wix template is fully customizable from the colors to the Flash effects. If you like something you see inside a template, it’s yours to keep and use as you like just by creating an account at Wix. Once you select a template to edit, you will see it automatically placed inside the Wix editor.

Now the fun part. With Wix, editing is easy with a simple drag & drop process. Add galleries, menu buttons, music, video files, widgets and more without entering a line of code.
