Music joints, open-air cinemas, yoga studios, stand-up comedy clubs, evening schools, circuses, art galleries – what do they all have in common? They all post their event calendars online, inviting the public to join their activities.

If your business is like that as well, you need to get your calendar online. By adding a calendar to your website, you invite your website visitors to see and take an interest in your future events in the easiest way possible.

With the recently introduced calendar add-on, integrating a calendar into your Wix HTML5 website is easier than ever before. Just follow these steps and you’re good to go!
