Did you know? There are tons of free icons available right inside your Wix Editor! Click on the ‘Add’ button of your left-side menu – there you’ll find countless free buttons, shapes and social icons that you can add to your website in just one click. You can also find free icons in ‘Free Wix Clip Art’ in the Images Collection of that same section.

Images

Looking for free images? Unsplash has a variety of royalty-free images for you to discover. Their free selection is a treasure trove of great quality images that can add a professional touch to any website.

The Wix option: Just like those icons we mentioned above, you’ve got a huge selection of free images already in your Wix website Editor. To find them, click on the ‘Add’ button on your left-side menu, select ‘Image’ and browse any one of the three libraries under Image Collections.

Image Editors

Befunky is an image editing site that’s great for doing everything from adding cool filters to your photos, to creating fun collages and giving your images the perfect crop. Made with social in mind, this image editor has the added benefit of coming with custom crops to create the perfect Facebook cover photo.

The Wix option: If you’re looking to add cool effects to your website images, Wix users need not look any further than their website editor. Simply click on any image, and your very own image editor will pop right up. Crop your pictures right on your page, customize photos by adding a design frame, or add a cool Instagram-like image filter – it’s all right there.

Colors

The colors that you choose for your website can add as much value to your site viewer’s experience as any piece of content you write. Colors have a unique ability to provoke emotions, and set the tone for your business, so needless to say, it’s imperative that you carefully choose the right palette to represent your work.  The aptly titled Colour Lovers site has a huge selection of color palettes to fit any mood.

The Wix option: Wix designers have carefully selected dozens of color palettes to fit any mood. Add these complementary color palettes by clicking the ‘Background’ button in your left-side menu and selecting the preset options that you like best.

If you’re dead-set on a certain color, you can also add your own Hex # to create your own custom palette.

To do that, click the ‘Background’ button in your left-side menu > Click Color > and click +Add Color to input your own Hex #.
