Amazon Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has been involved with each iteration of the brand’s famous logo design, turning to designer Turner Duckworth to get the job done. Today’s versatile Amazon logo was introduced in the year 2000. It features a wordmark of the brand’s name with one simple, yet distinguished, design element: a smile made out of an orange arrow. Fun fact: The smile has two clever meanings. First, the line starts at the letter “A” and ends at the letter ”Z” to represent the fact that Amazon will deliver anything from point A to point Z. The smile illustration was used to evoke the smiling face of customers when they receive an Amazon package at their doorstep. 02. Disney In an ode to childhood, fun and entertainment, the Disney logo reminds us of the magic envisioned by founder Walt Disney. The iconic Disney castle was first introduced to the logo in 1995, and in 2006 the emblem was, with the help of Pixar, given a stunning dose of technological advancement by turning it 3D. Fun fact: Is it Disney’s very own signature? Not exactly. Although this “handwriting” is a stylized version of the founder’s, Disney changed his signature so often that it was impossible to pin-down by designers. In the words of Walt Disney collectibles expert Phil Sears , "Walt consciously re-designed his signature over the years, in much the same way he changed the appearance of Mickey Mouse over time. Walt's signature will look different for every decade, and then there are differences within each decade." 03. Nike The Nike swoosh is perhaps the most famous logo symbol in the world of sports. Upon its creation, brand owner Phil Knight had one goal in mind: a simple logo design that conveys motion and speed. Part of knowing how to design a logo is setting yourself apart from competitors. In the case of Nike, they wanted to distinguish themselves from Adidas, one of their biggest competitors at the time. Carolyn Davidson was the designer that answered his call, making history with the swoosh that we all know today. The swoosh is a powerful logo symbol that stands on its own, inspired by the wing of Nike, the Greek goddess representing victory. Fun fact: When the Nike branding team original chose the swoosh, Knight said he “didn’t love it, but it will grow on me.” 04. McDonald’s McDonald’s “golden arches” is a restaurant logo that works so well, it’s matured into a cultural icon of its own. Since its official birth, the McDonald’s logo has undergone several revamps, its most recent by Heye & Partner in 2003. Today, the modern logo is simple, yellow (with the occasional accompaniment of bright red), and often paired with the slogan, “I’m lovin’ it.” The McDonald’s logo is recognized across the globe, and has become a symbol of fast food dining. What started out as a small burger joint in San Bernardino, California has accomplished one of the greatest feats of logo design and branding. Fun fact: Where do those arches come from? The first McDonald’s restaurant was opened by Richard and Maurice McDonald in 1937. But it was only in 1952 that the arches were first introduced to the brand. With the opening if it’s first franchised store, the new building included stylized half circles by sign-maker George Dexter. The arches were added to the structure to form the letter “M,” and Ray Kroc incorporated them into the restaurant’s new corporate logo when he bought McDonald’s in 1961. 05. Gucci Whether we can afford it or not, the Gucci logo has embedded its famous glow into our consumer minds. And it’s done so with class, too. Guccio Gucci started the fashion brand in 1921 with luxury on his mind, but it wasn’t until 1933 that the fashion house made the decision to design a logo. The brand, whose logo features a lettermark of double interlocked “Gs,” eventually welcomed additional designs into their branding repertoire as well. 1951 marks the year Gucci's red, white and green ribbon emblem was incorporated into their designs. Honoring the founder’s home country of Italy, the color combination is often used side-by-side the logo on various clothing and bag designs. In 2015, a slight makeover was also introduced to the iconic logo, turning the double G’s to face the same way. Fun fact : The famous lettermark logo was created by Gucci’s son, Aldo, to represent his father’s initials. Further emphasizing extravagance, it is also said to symbolize the links of a bracelet. 06. Chupa Chups The Spanish lollipop company’s logo is especially unique since it was designed by the famous surrealist artist, Salvador Dalí in 1969. He chose to create a bright colored daisy design to draw attention, but also because it fits perfectly on top of a round lollipop when centered on the wrapper of the candy’s packaging. Mr. Dali suggested this placement, since it is always prominent. Fun fact : The company’s name comes from the Spanish verb “chupar,” which means to “lick, or suck” or in English. 07. Coca Cola This logo needs no introduction. Coca Cola has kept a similar version of its original logo design since the beginning of the company’s existence in 1886. The Spencerian script is full of elegance and represents the classic handwriting of the time. Although it’s been slightly revised since, Coca-Cola has stayed true to its classic style. The bright red colors and signature are so distinguished, that when translated across languages, consumers can still recognize it worldwide. Fun fact: This famous script logo was actually designed by the founder’s bookkeeper, Frank Mason Robinson who suggested that the two “C”s would look fabulous in advertising. 08. Google Google’s logo is quite simple considering it’s one of the most recognized brands in the world. So well known that its name has become synonymous with the verb “search.” Designer Ruth Kedar originally made the wordmark using a Baskerville Bold font, but it has since been refashioned into a flatter design, using a sans serif typeface created in-house. Since it’s a logo that lives and breathes innovation and information (a true example of the future of logos ) the Google logo is every now and then transformed into a Google Doodle to commemorate holidays, notable events and figures, and more. The wordmark design originally used Baskerville Bold font, but has since evolved into a flatter design with a sans serif typeface created in-house. Fun fact: The logo’s color palette - primary color with a rogue green “L” - was chosen with founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, who wanted to express a message that their company doesn’t play by the rules, but prefers to break them. 09. Instagram Instagram has not been around for a long, therefore many of us can remember the brand’s original logo from 2010. It was an image of a camera which encompassed plain, tan and brown colors to cater to an audience of mainly photographers. However, in 2016 Instagram decided to have a makeover when they realized how much their audience had diversified over a short span of time. Users were no longer just photographers, rather they included Millennials, Generation Z, and some of the most powerful brands and influencers. The bright, vibrant colors of the current logo and its ombre style are meant to reflect the spirit of this app’s unfolding and vastly diverse audience. Fun fact: The original logo was designed by Instagram CEO Kevin Systrom himself. 10. Dove Dove is a company that does so much good with their name and classic toiletries. The logo, created by Ian Brignell, combines elegant lettering with a gentle symbol of a Dove. Since its debut in 1955, it has always maintained an elegant appearance that encourages affordable self-care. We don’t need to look too far into their logo to notice that the shape of their symbol reflects the bird associated with the brand name. Along with the symbol, the logo features a wordmark using a modified interpretation of the brand’s original font from 1955. Fun fact: The brand colors - white, blue, and an intensified gold - are meant to evoke feelings of tenderness, clarity and luxury. These are all common visions to think about for a company that was a pioneer in using “real women” in their ads. 11. Lego After a slew of logo renditions since Lego’s start in 1932, the famous logo we know today was introduced in 1973. At this time, the company began to distribute its products to the U.S. from its native Denmark. They wanted to rebrand, and incorporated modern logo characteristics such as vibrant red and yellow colors, and clean typography into the design. These elements led to a more universal wordmark that would be highly visible to viewers of all ages. In 1998, the logo was slightly refreshed by tightening its enlarged text and saturating the colors. The bubbled Lego letters relate to the structure of the product itself, recalling the playful simplicity of these beloved toys. No wonder it was named the toy of the 20th century. Fun fact : Did you know Lego’s name is derived from an abbreviation of the Danish words “leg godt,” meaning “play well.” Even as kids, logo associations begin to form in our tiny little brains. 12. National Geographic Good logo design can be measured when customers associate even the most basic design elements with your brand. Such is the case with National Geographic, whose name comes to mind almost immediately with the sight of its well-known logo symbol. Designed by Chermayeff & Geismar, the famous logo features a bright yellow rectangular box alongside a two-level all-caps wordmark featuring their name. The brand built on their identity as a magazine, and is the origin of this famous yellow rectangle. It alludes to the frame of a magazine, and might also connect to the notoriously out-of-this world photographs spread throughout each issue. Fun fact: The yellow color is said to represent the sun, which shines everywhere around the world, like this channel’s global reach. 13. Audi Four interconnected rings form the logo symbol for German car manufacturer Audi. Each ring represents one of the four companies that make up the auto union: Audi, DKW, August Horsch, and Wanderer. As is sometimes the case when deciding on the best font for your logo , this famous example required a bespoke typography. Audi sans was designed for the brand, and was later updated to Audi type in 1997 - the same font that appears in Audi’s marketing materials until this day. Fun fact: Because of its similarity to the Olympic rings, Audi was sued by the International Olympic Committee in 1995 at International Trademark Court. It was the Olympics who lost this battle of the brands. 14. Facebook Given that it’s a relatively new company, Facebook’s logo hasn’t been altered much since it was first designed by Mike Buzzard in 2005. But really, why fix something that isn’t broken? Especially when it’s viewed by around 2 billion daily Facebook users . The simplicity of the logo is carried out with a lowercase font, which shows the laid-back intentions of the brand’s site: sit back, connect with friends and family, and be entertained. Using classic blue and white tones throughout their branding assets was a great aesthetic decision: in color psychology, blue arouses optimism, and is often associated with high-tech companies. Paired with white, the composition feels fresh and dynamic. Fun fact: The New Yorker magazine famously claimed that the blue and white color scheme of Facebook’s logo was originally chosen because of Mark Zuckerberg’s deuteranopia, a form of color blindness in which the only color he can easily identify is blue. 15. Guinness For a beer company, Guinness has one of the most regal logos around. The harp emblem, an instantly recognizable brand mark, is based on a 14th-century Irish harp known as the “O’Neil.” Accompanied by the wordmark Guinness and occasionally founder Arthur Guinness’s signature, this logo is stamped with the proud tradition of good beer and celebrates its heritage. Even with its most recent logo redesign in 2016, the hand drawn logo revisits 19th-century techniques, honoring the long history of the brand itself. Fun fact: The same harp you see in Guinness’s famous logo is also the national emblem of the Republic of Ireland. Since Guiness trademarked the symbol first, the Government had to turn the official government harp the other way around. 16. Starbucks The original Starbucks logo, created in 1971, featured a hand drawn image of a double-tailed siren (or mermaid). Based on a 16th-century Nordic print, the emblem was chosen to represent the maritime atmosphere of the coffee chain’s flagship store in Portland. Terry Heckler was hired to recreate the famous logo in 1987. She transformed the ancient water creature into a goddess, shifted from brown to Kelly green and gave the logo a sharper look. In 2011, Starbucks understood that their brand was so widely recognized, that it could drop some elements of its logo design. A rebranding effort led them to eliminate its surrounding circle, the brand’s name, and the stars - leaving the siren to lure in customers on her own. Fun fact: With the logo’s redesign in 2011, a slight change was made to the siren’s nose to make her face asymmetrical. The design company in charge of the redo, Lippincott, did this to give her face a more “human” appearance. 17. Cirque du Soleil The Canadian circus group’s famous logo was created in 1984, and at the time it resembled a relatively detailed handmade drawing, full of multiple colors and layers. But, like many logo symbols we’ve seen on this list, Cirque du Soleil’s sun has been modernized over the years. In 1991, the first new look made an entrance, presenting a sharp design that would remain with the company for nearly two decades. Many of the sunset’s details were eliminated, resulting in a simple design. Not only was simplicity a logo design trend at the time, the adaptation also allowed the brand to replicate the logo into different sizes and formats - a sign (and necessity) of the changing times. Finally, the company introduced an even more refined logo in 2017, using fewer details and shiny gold color. Fun fact: The initial colorful sun logo, along with the name of the company, was inspired by the moment founder Guy Laliberté set eyes on his first Hawaiian sunset. 18. The Bronx Zoo Since first opening its doors in 1899, The Bronx Zoo has become a landmark of its own. The 250 acre park houses over 4,000 animals and is one of the most famous zoos in the world. It only makes sense that their logo would include a reference to wildlife. Bronx Zoo’s logo features two giraffes with birds flying in the background. The brown symbol is paired with orange text in a serif font, spelling out the zoo’s name. While other variations of the logo use black text, this warm, fall color scheme evokes nature and being outdoors. Fun fact: A close look reveals that this logo design reveres Manhattan itself. The negative space is used to create an alternative view of the image: the famous Manhattan skyline. 19. Apple Apple’s logo is so famous, there’s a book written about it. Though today it is synonymous with innovation and knowledge, what designer Rob Janoff really valued about this design at the start is its simplicity. After all, that is what Steve Jobs had in mind when he created the company. When asked at a press conference in 1981 why Jobs chose the name Apple, he replied, “the fruit of creation, Apple. It was simple but strong.” Because their first logo was uncharacteristically outdated, Jobs brought in Janoff to give the brand a fresh redesign one year later. Janoff sat in front of a bowl of apples for weeks, attempting to reduce the image to its simplest form. With great success, he presented the first multi-colored colored apple, with a signature “byte” taken out of it. Today, the logo is colorless, sleek and flat - and is one of the most famous logos in the world. Fun fact: The symbol we know today was the only option produced by Janoff. Since Apple was a small startup at the time, there was no design brief - and no time or money for an alternative. Although Janoff has since admitted that he would not recommend this as a logo design tip for others, in this case, his intuition reaped a favorable outcome. 20. Ford This car logo has changed dramatically since it was first created by Henry Ford’s friend and chief designer Childe Harold Wills. Debuted in 1903, the Ford logo started out as an ornate emblem in black and white. Today, the Ford we know boasts a modernized version of the automobile company’s signature, which was introduced in 1912. Its blue oval was redesigned in the 1970s, when it was given some 3D shading and was stamped the centennial blue we associate with this brand. Fun fact: Famous logo designer Paul Rand designed a version of the logo in the 1960s. Henry Ford II, who hired him, ultimately rejected the proposal saying that it was too modernized for the American brand. What do famous logos have in common?

Many great podcast names contain two to four short, simple words. At the same time, avoid keyword stuffing. Focus on something simple and to the point that captures the essence of your podcast. Try a name generator Use a free, quick and easy name generator tool to find your podcast name. Type a few keywords related to your podcast topic and the AI-powered tool populates a long list with names to get you started. You can also use AI name generators , like Wix's. Think of your audience Reflect on the tone and voice your audience uses and what podcast names they might find appealing. What do they want to learn about? These motivational podcasts aim to uplift their audience and so their names reflect this. If you're hosting a comedy podcast, it's a good idea to choose a funny name or one with a witty pun. Give some context Your podcast name should hint at your show’s content. For example, the show How I Built This , highlights how founders started different companies. This simple podcast name gets right to the point. Your name doesn’t have to spell everything out, but providing a little context will help grab the right listeners. Let your personality (and brand) shine through Since a podcast name should be unique to you, don’t be afraid to season it with some personality. Whether you’re quirky or sassy, let your name show it. Optimize for search Listeners often discover podcasts when searching keywords related to a topic. Include some target keywords in your name to increase your chances of appearing in these searches. Google Keyword Planner or Ahrefs can help you find highly-searched terms related to your niche. Use your network for feedback Get some insights from friends, family, and peers into which podcast name ideas sound best. You can ask those less enmeshed with your topic to see if the podcast title piques their interest, too. Use social tools like Instagram Polls or LinkedIn polls to let others vote on which name they prefer. Don’t box yourself in Make sure you can grow with your podcast name. For instance, a business podcast named "Stock Market Genius" sounds like it only covers stock market-related content. If you also hope to cover entrepreneurship tips one day, you should pick a broader title. Check out the competition Explore the podcast landscape to cross off duplicates from your potential name list and further fuel your inspiration. If you find you like a particular naming style or method, you should apply it. Write down all your podcast name ideas When brainstorming, keep track of all the names you like. The list will come in handy when checking name availability or running polls to have people vote on their favorite one. Say your podcast name out loud All too often a phrase reads good on paper, but when you say it aloud, it sounds a bit off. Repeat your podcast name out loud and see if it rolls off the tongue. After all, you will be saying it a lot in phrases like these: "Hi, my name is [name] and I'm the host of [podcast name]." Make it spelling and grammar-friendly Avoid commonly misspelled words. They can prevent your show from populating on podcast directories or search engines. Words like "your vs. you're" and "their vs. they're" can confuse some listeners. Also, stay away from special characters, since they take extra time to type. Check its availability Research the name on social media, podcast directories and search engines to confirm no one already podcasts under that title. It would be unfortunate if you couldn’t promote your episodes on Facebook or Twitter under the same podcast name. Avoid overused phrases Steer clear of overdone words and clichés that might make your podcast name feel generic. Phrases like “The Daily” or “Inside [Topic]” are popular but may not help you stand out in a crowded podcast library. Similarly, overloading your title with buzzwords or trendy lingo can make it feel dated quickly. Be creative Catch the eye (and ear) of your audience with a creative twist. Think outside the box and use puns, witty phrases or clever word combos. If humor, quirkiness or boldness fits your podcast style, lean into it. For instance, a fitness podcast could use a name like “Weights and Wisdom” or “Sweat the Details.” Make sure you love it You should always want to yell it from the rooftop. Podcasting requires passion and dedication to be successful, so take your time picking the perfect name. Ready to grow your online business?

When choosing a podcast name, make sure it reflects your podcast’s theme and captures the essence of your content. Aim for a name that is unique, descriptive, easy to pronounce and memorable to help it stand out in a crowded market. Check for existing podcasts with similar names to avoid confusion, and ensure matching social media handles are available for consistent branding. A well-chosen name sets the tone for your podcast and makes it easier for your audience to find and connect with you.

AI is taking the world by storm these days, ushering in a wave of ground-breaking innovation across thousands of industries. The release of open-source AI tools like ChatGPT has changed the way we receive information, create technology and produce content—with new, exciting applications of AI cropping up every day.  The truth is, however, AI is not brand new technology. And, it’s fair to say that Wix has been in the AI game long before it was ‘cool.' In 2016, Wix released Artificial Design Intelligence, a web development tool that uses AI to create custom websites for people much faster than what was previously thought possible.  “We started ADI , which is Artificial Design Intelligence. Starting from there, we understood how much AI can contribute to website building. And we started understanding the use cases and the best way to use AI to build websites and online businesses." - Guy Sopher, Wix's head of AI Assistant, on HostingAdvice Since that time, Wix has continued to innovate, integrating AI-based tools into its web platform. Read on for a complete and up-to-date list of Wix’s AI tools, and for information on how to make a website  using the latest AI features .  See Wix's AI-powered website builder up close today.

We completely changed the architecture so that vibe coding and visual editing work harmoniously together on the same project. You can prompt Wix Harmony and ask it to create a full page, a new section or a component. Then you immediately refine it with full drag-and-drop control, pixel by pixel, exactly like we perfected in Wix."

Looking for the best way to build your website? Get started with Wix → AI has transformed  website design , pushing the boundaries of what was once thought possible. Nowadays, almost anyone can learn  how to make a website . And in a world where  75% of users  judge a website’s credibility based on its design, more and more businesses are turning to AI-powered tools to create professional-looking sites. Wix has been at the forefront of AI since 2016, when it first launched its artificial design intelligence (ADI) capabilities. Since then, Wix has grown into a website builder unlike any other. Today, you can experience the full power of Wix Harmony , where you get the perfect blend of AI and drag-and-drop tools. Create a website with the speed of AI, without losing control. From Wix ADI to a first-of-its-kind hybrid editor Wix ADI was one of Wix's first big breakthroughs in AI. Back then, AI wasn't a hot topic. Hardly anyone spoke about it at the dinner table. But it was a big deal to us. In its earliest form, Wix ADI allowed our users to express their preferences for how their website would look and behave. Wix ADI asked a few questions (in the vein of "Do you like this, or do you like that?") and then mocked up a site according to each user's selections. After that, we developed our AI website builder, which took things one step further. Instead of having to answer yes or no questions, users could chat with AI (which would ask more meaningful questions about their business) to generate a new site. Now, Wix Harmony marks the beginning of a new way to create website. It takes everything we’ve learned from years of testing and decades of website experience to deliver our most flexible solution yet. When you use Wix Harmony, you're not locked into one way of working. You can flow easily between AI and manual editing tools to create the exact website you want. You've even got Aria, a dedicated AI agent, to carry out tasks for you. Learn more: How does an AI website builder work How to make a website quickly How to access the Wix Harmony The best way to get started is to navigate to the Wix Harmony page and start typing in your prompt right away. Tell Aria, your AI agent, what type of website you're trying to create and give as many essential details as possible. If you're stuck, you can choose from pre-written prompts or templates that are shown further down the page. When you're ready, click "Generate My Site." If you're not logged into your Wix account, you'll be asked to log in or sign up (don't worry, signup is free). Then, Aria will start building your site right away. Learn about Wix's hybrid website builder: What is Wix Harmony? How much does Wix Harmony cost? Why use Wix Harmony? How the ADI-inspired website builder works  While Wix Harmony is designed so that it doesn't require a how-to guide, the below steps can give you a glimpse at how it works. 01. Create your prompt As mentioned earlier, you'll need to provide a prompt for Aria to work from. You can select from pre-defined prompts, such as this one: Create an inviting and visually appealing website for my beauty salon that showcases our services, highlights customer testimonials, and supports online booking, all while conveying a modern and chic atmosphere. At this stage, you'll want to make sure to include a few key details: The type of website you're looking to create What you want your website to achieve Must-have pages or features The overall vibe, or any stylistic details, you want to capture 02. Tweak the website design as needed  Within minutes, Aria will unveil a new website, complete with prebuilt images, text and even videos that reflect your brand messaging. You'll also have all the core buttons, pages and features that your business will need. If desired, ask Aria to regenerate the site or make it a little different. Or, click on any part of the website to make tweaks by hand. (This is the beauty of Wix Harmony: you can switch back and forth between prompting Aria and making manual edits whenever you want.) There are several aspects you may want to hone in on, including the:   Layout Site pages Forms Content (images and text) Branding (the typography, colors, logo, etc.) Animations Navigation and menus Connected apps Mobile experience Explore these AI prompts for website building  to get started. 03. Publish   Once you’re happy with how your site looks, make sure to preview your site. See how it looks on different screen sizes and make any last-minute edits as needed. Click "Publish" when you're ready. You'll need to confirm that the domain looks good. If you're on a free account, you'll receive a free Wix-branded domain. However, you can easily search and buy a custom domain through Wix—or connect an existing domain to your Wix site. Once you've connected a domain, you're good to hit "Publish" for the final time. Your site is now live. Why use Wix's hybrid editor to create your website?  For starters, Wix is an incumbent in the AI space. We've been working with AI long before it was cool. By combining decades' worth of website knowledge with the best AI tech and lessons we've learned from talking to our users , we created Wix Harmony. “Is AI a disruption in the website industry? Yes it is, and we are such great believers in the technology, that we launched our first AI website creator back in 2016, Wix ADI.” - Avishai Abrahami, CEO at Wix As you use Wix Harmony for yourself, you'll hopefully see what makes it so special. But to give you a taste, here's what we have to say about it. It introduces a whole new way to create a website From the words of Omer Shai, CMO at Wix: "Wix Harmony marks a new era for web creation. It closes the gap between imagination and execution in a creation experience that feels as natural as thinking." You can create an entire website with a single prompt, then enjoy a hybrid editing experience where you can choose when and how to use AI. CEO of Wix, Avishai Abrahami, also notes, "For a while I’ve been playing around with vibe coding tools, and every time I tried to build a website with the functionality and design that I wanted, I failed. It just wasn’t good enough. Very quickly you fall into a place where it doesn't work anymore and get to a point where it just breaks. I wasn't able to get an excellent result, or even a good one... "That's when I realized what the future of web creation needs to look like, and the commitment we have to bring this to our users...Wix Harmony is our answer: an AI website builder that puts them in the driver’s seat with the flexibility and power of vibe coding to create exactly the websites they want in this new era of web creation." Read more: ' Why we built Wix Harmony ' by Avishai Abrahami ' Wix Harmony: AI and you, building together ' by Omer Shai How to create a website in a day You get professional-grade results, without the headache Of course, a website is only as good as how well it works. The tricky part is that they often have to perform complex tasks, all within a few seconds As Nir Zohar, president at Wix, puts it: "As technology evolved, so did what it meant to have an online presence. HTML5, mobile, eCommerce, payments, SEO and countless other advancements made websites far more powerful and far more central to running a business. But each leap forward also raised the bar, introducing new complexity and new friction, especially for non-professionals... [Today,] every site runs on Wix’s proven infrastructure, with advanced commerce, payments, SEO and GEO, accessibility and scalability built in by default. As AI evolves and new standards emerge, Wix absorbs the underlying complexity so users can focus on creating and running their business, not managing the machinery behind it." Read more: ' Wix Harmony and the next chapter in web evolution ' by Nir Zohar It's a mature, reliable AI solution Wix has been a long-time pioneer in both the web design and AI markets (see  how does AI work  or the different  types of AI ).  “Although generative AI sounds very trendy, it didn't start like this at Wix,” notes Wix’s Head of Product Yaara Asaf. “When the world first met ChatGPT, we already had a tool in Wix to help users create personalized and professional content. Our journey with AI didn’t start because of the buzz around AI, but because our users had a problem we wanted to solve.” "Wix Harmony is not 'AI sprinkled on top' of the old Wix editor," Avishai further explains. "We completely changed the architecture so that vibe coding and visual editing work harmoniously together on the same project." But, he adds, "underneath, everything sits on Wix’s industry-leading infrastructure. The same one that already supports hundreds of millions of users – advanced commerce, scheduling and heavy traffic, with 99.99% uptime." Examples of sites you can create with Wix Harmony To give you a feel for what you can create, below are a few Wix Harmony website templates that you can draw inspiration from. Fashion store This fashion store template uses sleek scrolling effects and a thoughtful layout to highlight key products and curated looks. It also drives attention to seasonal sales without cluttering the screen. Home remodeling company This home remodeling company template keeps things simple without being boring.

Wedding invitation This wedding invitation template puts a modern twist on a classic wedding website. With smooth scrolling effects and a blend of videos and images, it creates a stylish yet heartfelt experience.

Ready to let your work shine? Build your portfolio →  Let’s get one thing straight: website templates  aren’t dead. They’re far from it.  Even with the explosion of website builders (including AI website builders and vibe coders), templates are still some of the most useful tools for creating a website, whether it’s your first site or your tenth.  For me, the real  question isn’t whether templates are dead. It’s how their role is evolving. In all my years as a web designer, I’ve never seen a moment quite like this: it’s both the most exciting and confusing time in web design .  And while the old-school idea of templates might be dead, the modern version is alive and kicking. Here’s what I mean. TL;DR: Are website templates dead? Website templates aren’t dead. They’ve evolved. Modern templates combine smart layouts, ready-to-use content and AI enhancements, making them easy to customize and practical for any business. They aren’t just convenient, either. They’re central to the future of web design. The anatomy of a modern website template: 5 traits A lot of people assume templates are boring—and sometimes, that’s true. After all, even vibe-coded apps can turn out dull.  But the best modern templates do the opposite. Instead of giving you a generic-looking site, they offer a thoughtful design with strong bones.  Take Wix templates, for example. We approach them like real design projects, blending visual research with current trends and a designer’s personal touch. (We essentially try to make our templates feel as least template-y as possible.)  In general, a good website template has these traits.  01. A layout backed by research  A strong layout is the backbone of any template. Designers usually study how people navigate similar sites, what layouts work best for each industry and how the content should flow, so the structure is clear and logical for your business. This gives you a better starting point than a blank canvas because the fundamentals (the "roots" of the site) are already in place. 02. A fresh, modern look Modern templates don’t just play it safe. They draw from current design trends and user research to recommend the best color palettes, fonts and visuals for your business type. They give you something that feels both current and one-of-a-kind. 03. Built-in ideas for content A template isn’t just a framework. It’s a full creative vision. Many designers include curated content (such as hand-picked photos or AI-generated text and images) that are all shaped by a visual expert. So no matter what type of business you run, you can explore various design directions before adding your own content. 04. Industry-specific features  The best templates are built for specific business needs, with all the essential pages and features already included. For example, an online store template  comes with everything you need to showcase products and handle sales, while a portfolio template  keeps it simple with a clean gallery and a “contact me” page. That way, your template isn’t just attractive. It’s practical and ready to support your business from day one. Each template above was created with a specific type of business in mind. Click an image to take a closer look. 05. Accessibility and legal guardrails  There are strict rules for web accessibility that can be difficult for a business owner to navigate alone. Professional templates have these accessibility standards built into its DNA. They also provide a safety net for legal requirements, such as including the specific pages needed for privacy policies , reducing the risk of something going wrong during the setup process.  The difference between old-school vs. modern-day templates Old-school website templates Modern-day website templates Basic, flat structure  Advanced structure, built to support specific types of businesses Generic design  Thoughtful design, created by an expert designer and backed by industry research  Full of stock images and placeholder text Full of contextually relevant (sometimes ethically AI-generated) content that you can personalize  Hard to customize (required manually coding or design) Very easy to customize (can achieve with drag and drop, AI and other tools)  The default option if you wanted to create a website Often the preferred option, plus the source of inspiration for AI website builders and vibe coders  The hybrid reality: the end of “either-or” thinking Templates aren’t just surviving because they’re higher quality than before. The way we design has changed fundamentally. It's no longer about choosing between templates or  AI or  manual editing. Rather, templates are now part of a bigger ecosystem, where the boundaries between these tools are becoming more and more blurry.  Today, many designers are using AI to create templates faster. Meanwhile, AI systems are learning from the templates that real designers create to suggest website layouts to their users.  This leaves you with a different choice to make: Would you rather start your website journey with AI or a template?  In my opinion, a template is a great place to start for most people because it gives you a solid starting point, whereas vibe coding solutions don’t give you any starting point. You’re left staring at a completely blank canvas.  Editing a template can also feel easier than having to enter prompt after prompt to get things right. Or, if you use Wix Harmony (a first-of-its-kind hybrid solution), you can start with a template that gives you a website layout, then easily switch back and forth between AI or manual editing to get all the details just right. Try out Wix Harmony for free. 3 tips for getting the most out of a template It’s worth nothing that if you choose to use a template, these simple tricks can help to ensure that you get the most out of your selection.  Don’t judge a template by its cover :  It’s easy to be blinded by how a template looks, but I always advise digging into both the design and the content. They’re equally important. Go through and check that it has all the core sections and business functionality you need. Otherwise, you may end up needing to put in more work than you anticipated to create the user experience you envision.   Check the "rhythm" of the content: The most successful websites happen when the content and the design work together in harmony. If a template is designed to highlight three key services, but your business has 10, that specific layout might not be the right fit. It’s more efficient to find a template that already maintains the right volume of information, instead of forcing too much content into a space that wasn't built for it. The "Logo Test":  Drop your logo into the header. It’s a quick reality check to see if your branding actually fits the style you’re going for. In some cases, this test might even reveal that your logo itself needs a redesign to work in a professional online space. It’s a small step, but an important one in making sure all your design elements play nicely together. The future of templates: a new renaissance  Web templates aren’t just basic building blocks anymore. Thanks to AI, they’re living starting points that anyone can build on. It feels a bit like a modern Renaissance. Back then, art was mostly for the elite. Today, AI is democratizing design, letting more people create polished websites quickly. Templates are like the bridge between mass accessibility and creative expression. So what’s next? Will templates become fully AI-powered and personal for everyone, or will there be a split between mass-produced designs and high-end, bespoke experiences? Either way, templates aren’t just a fallback—they’re part of the foundation for faster, more creative web design.

Build your website in minutes, try Wix for free today → In the world of web design , templates are a wonderful thing. They make everyone’s job easier, no matter how much experience you have in learning how to build a website .  But one lesson I’ve learned from spending 6,000+ hours creating Wix website templates is that there’s no such thing as a one-size-fits-all design. Even though a template might be a perfect fit for one type of website , it might not work well for another.  And while most people might decide if a template is right for them within the first few seconds of looking at it, I’d recommend that you take your time. The template you choose can impact how your website both looks and functions, so the process of picking one should be slow and deliberate.  Here are my personal tips for evaluating your options and picking the best template for your website.  Learn more: What is web design? or Are website templates dead? What are your deal breakers? My first piece of advice: don’t judge a template simply by its looks. Think about what you need your website to do. At minimum, you should know: The main purpose of your website The main pages you need The main action(s) you want visitors to take  The types of content you want to add  Some websites are inherently more complex than others. For example, an eCommerce website is much more complicated than a typical app landing page. It needs to handle information for hundreds (if not thousands) of products, online payments, user logins and promotional assets (like pop-ups or reviews).  Design-wise, you must also consider that people interact with online stores very differently than they do with a landing page. Online shoppers are much more likely to hop between multiple pages, comparing products and prices—whereas people who reach your landing page just want to make a quick decision. At the end of the day, the template you choose should reflect your unique needs. Don’t get too distracted by how attractive a template is—look first at its features and usability.  Tip: Search for templates that are not only made for your industry, but are also closer to what you sell. Chances are, the designer who created a sportswear  store template  did a ton of research specifically on athletic brands and shopping behaviors.   Read more about the essential parts of a website or the difference between a multi-page website vs. one-page website . Are you looking at a newer or older design?  People don’t talk enough about how consumer preferences and design trends are always changing. If you were to look at a recent Wix template next to one that was created years ago, you’d probably notice a big difference. That’s not to say that you shouldn’t use older templates. (Most of our templates are designed to stand the test of time.) However, with Wix introducing newer, better features and designers experimenting with new styles, it’s only natural for our templates to evolve.  Let’s look at a recent website template together. Here’s one that I designed for an eCommerce site focused on selling shoes. Notice: Welcome section: At the top of the homepage, you’ll see a widget (which didn’t exist in Wix years ago) that promotes the specific item shown in the homepage image. This mimics the “shop now” behaviors that we see everywhere online and on social media these days.   Loading effects: This template combines a few different loading effects to create a fresh, modern experience.  Scrolling banners: We’re constantly adding new features to our editor and tracking new trends. This is how we found that movement can draw attention to parts of a page where people normally have “banner blindness.” So, you’ll see that the banners at the top and middle of the homepage take this into consideration. Product page design: Each product page puts a big emphasis on the product images, mimicking the design of many popular, high-end sites. The layout is more minimal and streamlined than older templates, too, to align better with modern web experiences. Customer reviews sections: Reviews are incorporated throughout the website, alongside “buy now” buttons, to encourage quick shopping. It’s another trend we’ve seen pick up speed over the years. Navigation and footer: Between the breadcrumbs, search bar, menu and footer—there are dozens of ways for shoppers to explore products in a way that they’re familiar with. Keep in mind that just because a template is new, doesn't mean it’s necessarily better. You might find that a more classic or minimalistic design is better suited for your brand. Nevertheless, newer templates can give insight into recent trends and serve as good inspiration.  View this shoe store template up close or check out other online store templates . What’s easy vs. difficult to customize?   Templates are meant to be customized. With that being said, some elements are easier to change than others. Colors, logos and fonts are some of the easiest things to tweak—and a website builder like Wix lets you set a site theme so that any custom colors or fonts are applied to your whole site.  Here’s where it gets tricky: If you need to add lots of pages with specific functions (such as product pages, checkout pages, booking pages, etc.), you might be better off finding a template that already includes a few of these pages. This way you won’t have to start from scratch with the design, interlinking or overall user experience. Another thing you’ll want to look out for: the overall “vibe” and website layout . If you search for “tech” in the Wix Template library , you’ll see a lot of futuristic designs. That theme is mirrored in most of the preset colors, button styles, animations and image arrangements. While you can technically adjust any of these components from the editor—you might end up spending more time than you’d like making it all work together, especially if you’re trying to make a futuristic theme feel less futuristic. Ultimately, the amount of time you spend on customization is up to you. Just make sure to manage your expectations accordingly. Quick to customize Time-consuming to customize Colors Fonts  Logos Buttons  Images and icons Text Simple sections (tweaking or adding) Simple animations Core structure Forms Dynamic pages or sections Text on image-heavy layouts Advanced design elements Mobile layout Did you know? Creating new images or illustrations for your website is easy with Wix’s AI image tools. Check out all of Wix’s AI features .  How much space do you need for images vs. text? Similar to my point above, you should think about the type of content you plan to include on your site. I don’t just mean picking from text-heavy templates if you’re planning to start a blog . I mean observing the balance of text versus images on any given page. Some homepage designs are very design-heavy. They’re only meant to include a few lines of text next to a large, full-scale image. Forcing more text into these areas could throw off the balance of the whole page if you’re not careful.  As another example, let’s say you’re working with a template that has big text blocks and proportionately small images. If you end up writing minimal content or adding large images in spaces better suited for icons, then things can start looking awkward.  Make it easier on yourself by selecting a website template that gets you 80% of where you want to go with your content. Know the hierarchy of your content ahead of time and let it guide your decision.  How does the mobile experience look?  Don’t forget about the mobile experience. Today, more than 60% of website traffic worldwide comes from mobile devices . So, neglecting the mobile experience means leaving money on the table.  From the very beginning, you should consider how your website looks on a smaller screen. Preview the mobile version of a template before committing to it. It doesn’t need to be 100% perfect (just like the desktop version, you should be able to fine-tune certain details of the mobile site from your website editor). However, it shouldn’t require too much redesigning.  Ask yourself: Does the mobile version prioritize the right content and features?  Will my average customers be able to navigate this easily?  How does the mobile version handle buttons and forms?  Does the template offer a mobile-optimized checkout experience (if relevant)?  How does the mobile version handle large tables or data (if relevant)? To summarize, look below the surface  Picking the right website template is a balancing act. You need to strike the right mix of aesthetics, usability and flexibility.  As you explore your options, you might find yourself liking different aspects of different sites. That’s an added bonus of this exercise; it allows you to see how various web designers bring form and function together. You can then use this information to shape your final website.  On that note, here’s my last piece of advice: Take your time. Gather inspiration. Choose wisely.  Check out these free website templates  or discover our designers' favorite Wix templates .

Determine the type of website template you need Once you’ve defined your goals, the next step is figuring out what type of website template will lay the foundation to achieve them. Start by making a list of all the requirements you’d like your template to have. As noted by Wix template designer, Kobi Michaeli, in his guide to selecting the right website layout : "At the end of the day, the template you choose should reflect your unique needs. Don’t get too distracted by how attractive a template is—look first at its features and usability." We’ll go through the different parts of a website you may want to consider further on. First, decide between making a static vs dynamic website, a one page vs multi-page website and a responsive vs adaptive site. Learn more: How to choose a website template on Wix Static vs. dynamic websites A static website is one whose content does not change or update automatically. This type of website template suits businesses that don't need to present personalized information, and whose content doesn’t need to be frequently updated. If cost is a consideration, a static website may fit your needs as it requires the least amount of regular website maintenance. A dynamic website, on the other hand, is one that's designed to update automatically according to user input or other factors. Dynamic websites are often complex, requiring more technical expertise to build and maintain. These are best for businesses that need to present bespoke data, content or products according to the visitor's preferences or location. One page vs. multi-page websites In addition to static vs dynamic websites, you'll also need to decide whether you want a one page or multi-page website. A one page website is a single page that includes all of the content and navigation for your site. For businesses with a limited amount of content or for those who want a minimalistic and easy-to-navigate website. Check out this curated selection one page website examples for some design inspiration, and get started with one of these professionally-designed one page website templates . A multi-page website, on the other hand, is a website with multiple, linked pages. Businesses with a large amount of content or products to showcase often start with a multi-page website template, as it allows you to organize your content in a logical way. Take a look at these multi page website examples to get you started. Responsive vs. adaptive websites A successful website will cater to all users—regardless of what device the visitor uses to access it. Both responsive and adaptive design are the practices of making sure your website looks good on mobile. Responsive web design is the art of creating pages that rearrange themselves based on the detected screen size. It provides consistent user experience across all platforms, but requires a bit more design experience. Adaptive web design is an approach where the browser loads a static layout that you've adapted for mobile devices from your site's desktop version. This high-performing design approach requires less design effort on your end.

Pick a website layout Now that you’ve decided the type of site you need, it’s time to choose a website layout . Decide which format will best serve your audience, allowing them to navigate pages, interact with its content, and achieve their goals. Keep in mind, each page of your site may have a different layout according to its purpose. This is where you may also want to consider how the different parts of a website will come together in one layout.

Decide on website elements, features and functions While all Wix website templates can be customized to fit your needs, each template includes different elements, features and functions to start with. If you’re looking for the most efficient solution, select one that already supports your business needs and goals. Tip: Explore the 100s of Wix features available to add to your website template. Here are a few common website elements and how they might fit with different business goals: Header When choosing a template, consider whether it includes a space for your logo in the header.

Full-width headers: These headers span the full width of the website and can be used to create a bold and impactful visual element. Footer The footer of your website is at the bottom section of your site and is often used for things like legal information, contact details, and social media links. When choosing a template, find one that includes a footer to meet your needs. Navigation menu A website menu is what guides navigation, linking between the different pages or sections of a site and displaying these options for the user. You can choose between the following common navigation menus: Horizontal navigation: This is the most common type of navigation menu, where the menu items are displayed horizontally across the top or bottom of the website. Vertical navigation: Vertical navigation menus are displayed down the side of the website and can be used to create a more organized and hierarchical structure. Drop-down menus: Drop-down menus allow users to access sub-menu items by hovering over or clicking on the main menu items. Hamburger menus: These are small icon buttons that open a menu when clicked. Hamburger menus are most commonly used on mobile devices. Sidebar: A sidebar is a vertical column on the side of your website that can be used to display additional content or links.

Think about branding Branding is an important aspect of any business, and the website template you choose will be a major part of how you present yourself to your audience and should reflect the overall style and tone of your brand. You'll need a well designed website too. Choosing a website template whose overall layout and design syncs with your brand's style will give you a major head start.

One of Wix's business website templates , on desktop and mobile You've decided to use a website template, now how to choose the right one? Start of by deciding which template matches your industry best. What a plumbing website business owner needs from a website template is understandably different than what a restaurant website owner needs, or an artist needs. This includes the layout, features and emphasis on different parts of the website page. If you choose a template for your business through Wix, each one is professionally designed for your industry style. As noted by Wix template designer, Kobi Michaeli: "At the end of the day, the template you choose should reflect your unique needs. Don’t get too distracted by how attractive a template is—look first at its features and usability." Then consider the color, typography, overall aesthetic of the template and if it aligns with your branding. You want to make sure you have consistency across your brand assets and website.

When using a template to create your website, avoid these common mistakes: Ignoring customization Relying too heavily on the default look can make your site too generic. You want to make sure you tailor your colors, fonts and content to match your brand identity. This is important regardless of which template you use. Overloading with features Many templates include extras you may not need and you don't necessarily need to use all of them. You can consider removing elements you don't need to improve the speed and focus of your website. Poor content planning Cramming content to fit the template layout instead of designing for your website's purpose can confuse your visitors. Start with your content goals, what you want to include and why, then adapt the template to these. Not optimizing for mobile Your template should be mobile-friendly and if necessary responsive. Don't forget to test it across devices once published also. Wix templates are optimized for mobile from the start. Neglecting the SEO basics Templates don’t handle on-page SEO optimizations for you.

Neglecting your user experience Don’t clutter your pages with too much text or too many CTAs, as tempting as this might be at first. Prioritize intuitive navigation for your users.

Looking for the best way to build your website? Get started with Wix → Back in the day, knowing how to start a website  meant one of two things: you could either hire a designer or learning to hack one together yourself. Today, it’s a different story. There are more tools than ever, and one question I encounter is: “Should I use a template or AI to build my website?” Between all the DIY tutorials and apps out there (including Wix’s popular AI website builder ), it’s easy to see why people are exploring their options more closely. Hence, I thought it would be worthwhile to unpack this in more detail. Food for thought When choosing between AI versus a template, you're essentially choosing between placing your trust in an AI model—which is trained on web design  principles through an abundance of information and examples—or placing your trust in the curation and consideration done by an experienced web designer. There are advantages and disadvantages to both. Before diving in, I recommend asking yourself a few important questions: How clear is your vision for the site's design ? Do you picture every element in your mind already, or are you craving direction and inspiration? How much control do you want over the small details?  Are you the type to tinker, or do you prefer something more hands-off? Is there a template that already fits your industry and business goals?  Or, are you envisioning something completely new from what you’re seeing?  Read also: Are website templates dead? What AI brings to the table  The advantage of designing a website with AI tools is that you can really ask for anything. The level of customization is very high. You could ask for specific colors, design styles, layouts , order—whatever you envision.  You can also create and iterate quite quickly, without needing to browse through hundreds of templates. The result usually comes down to your prompting skills: the more detail and time you spend defining what you want at the prompting stage, the better the outcome.  AI models intuitively understand websites because that’s what they’re trained on. There’s a wealth of knowledge that’s being utilized and is constantly improving. Explore these AI prompts for website building  to get started. Wix’s AI models combine decades' worth of web design expertise with real-world examples to generate high-end website, built to convert. What website templates bring to the table  The advantage of using a template, on the other hand, is that a professional designer has carefully considered the look and feel of the site, as well as its functionality. Whenever a new Wix template  is created, the first step is to research industry trends and study high-performing sites.   This means that you, as the website owner, benefit from a designer’s attention to detail, content curation and design choices—built with specific performance and business goals in mind. Not to mention, you have full editing capabilities to alter your site. The difference is that you start with a solid, well-thought-out structure that’s been tested across multiple devices. Comparing AI vs. website templates across various factors  Looking a bit closer, you’ll see there are some key ways these options set themselves apart. Quality As of the time of writing this, there’s still a notable difference in design quality between the two approaches.  When you’re working with AI tools,  the layout and overall visual narrative of websites tend to feel more standard, clean and less adventurous. The rhythm and visual storytelling aspect of the site often feels more straightforward. AI can sometimes struggle with maintaining design consistency across all elements and components of a large site, and has difficulty creating truly unique visuals that tell an engaging brand story. That said, AI models are rapidly improving, quickly bridging the gap and addressing these limitations.  When you’re working with   designer-made templates , you often get more elevated design outcomes. The designs are more intentional and cohesive out of the box. They’re built to tell a complete story and create impactful scrolling experiences for your specific business type or industry needs. The downside is that you risk having a similar-looking site to others in your industry who use the same provider and template. Ease of use / technical skills required  Both approaches require knowing what you want, but the technical demands vary. With the AI approach,  prompting skills will matter more than technical skills. Giving the system good, clean instructions on what you’re trying to achieve will get you closer to the result you’re looking for. You don’t have to have all the answers. It’s true that the more information you provide, the better, but it’s definitely okay to leave room for the model to interpret and create. Just try not to be too vague, as this will likely lead to basic outcomes. Regardless of the tool you use, it’ll likely take several rounds of iterations to mold the results to your needs. With templates,  a lot of it comes down to choosing the right template. Don’t simply choose a template because of how it looks. Pick a template by a reliable provider that is well-aligned with your industry or business type. After that, you’ll need to know—at least in the very basic sense—how to use a website editor. It’s crucial to know how to change settings, move, change and add/remove things from your editor-of-choice. Although this might seem like the more intimidating approach, popular editors like Wix are very intuitive and easy to master.

How you spend your time might look slightly different depending on the route you choose. With AI , you begin the process by guiding the AI with your input, rather than sorting through a sea of templates. Some AI builders are open-ended, allowing you to enter free-form prompts. Others, like Wix’s AI website builder, help to structure your conversation by asking you a series of questions. The builder will then generate a customized design within a few minutes. Afterward, you’ll spend time checking that the site has all the functionality and pages you wanted, adjusting content as needed, modifying the design and testing it across various devices.   With templates , you’ll spend most of your time trialing multiple templates until you find one that gets you closest to your vision. Some template libraries will be more vast and well-organized than others. You might get lucky and find a template that matches your vision closely and only needs small tweaks. Other times, a template might look amazing but need significant changes to work for your business.  Costs No matter which approach you choose, your starting point shouldn’t make a huge difference in cost. Both offer free and paid plans, and the final price largely depends on the features you want and the complexity of your site. So, which should you choose? If you’re a small business owner with limited design experience, I'd recommend starting with a template that fits your industry and business model. Templates make it easy to get a professional-looking site without complicated edits. The process is more predictable, and there's a clearer path from start to finish. However, if you’re a business owner with a very specific vision that doesn't fit standard templates, AI tools are worth exploring. They’re especially useful for businesses in emerging industries with few templates to choose from, or for anyone who enjoys the creative process and wants to experiment. Read also: Your website should speak your brand's language—here's how One final word of advice: don't let perfect be the enemy of good The beauty of websites, in my opinion, is that they aren't static objects. They’re living and breathing, dynamic platforms that change, grow, improve and update. Trial and error is an inevitable part of web design, and any great website usually goes through several versions or edits.  Whether you go with AI tools or templates, the most important thing is to launch your site and see how real users interact with it.  Also, remember that the backbone of any beautiful and successful website is strong, meaningful content that evolves with your brand. Don’t just think about what you need right now. Think ahead and choose a setup that makes it easy to add content and expand your site over time. Finally, remember that your first website doesn't have to be your forever website. Both AI tools and templates are relatively low-cost ways to establish your online presence. You can always upgrade, redesign or start fresh as your business grows. The key is to start somewhere and iterate as you go along.

Get your professional business email address→ A professional, branded business email is the backbone of how your team communicates and how clients see your brand. Setting it up right means your domain name is connected, inboxes are organized, security is solid and every message looks professional from day one. TL;DR: How to set up a business email This guide covers everything you need to set up your business email like a pro. You'll learn how to skip the common mistakes and make sure your communication is secure and reliable right from day one. You'll learn how to: Connect your email to your domain and brand Organize inboxes as your team grows Protect your email from security risks Improve your reach and reliability Check that everything is working perfectly Get your business email up and running fast. Wix provides built-in security, plenty of storage and real-time tools to help you stay on top of your work. Everything’s backed by 24/7 support so you can focus on growing your business. Before you set up your email Before you start, make sure you have a few basics in place. You’ll need a domain name, an email service to host your inbox and admin access to your domain settings so you can make required changes during setup. Once those are ready, the rest is quick and straightforward. How to set up a business email address Getting your professional inbox ready is a straightforward process when you break it down into manageable actions. By following this roadmap, you will move from a blank slate to a fully functional communication hub that represents your brand perfectly. Get a domain name Choose an email service provider Connect your domain Create inboxes and aliases Adjust basic settings Enable security essentials Protect your emails with backup and recovery Configure deliverability basics Test before using it Complete next steps after setup To set up business email , enable access on desktop and mobile, organize with filters and forwarding, secure accounts with 2FA and SPF/DKIM/DMARC, manage user roles, back up messages and integrate with calendars and collaboration tools. 01. Get a domain name If you already have a website, you likely already own a domain. If not, you will need to purchase one from a registrar or through a website builder like Wix. When choosing a domain, keep it simple and relevant to your brand. Avoid long strings of numbers or complicated spellings that might confuse clients. A clean, recognizable domain makes it easier for customers to remember you and reduces the chance of typos when they try to contact you. Check out Wix's domain name search  tool and domain name generator . "There are three WIN Pillars for choosing a great domain name. 1) Words: Keep it short and easy to spell, 2) Identity: Make sure it’s relevant to your business and 3) Name: Ensure it’s unique and distinguishable. Avoid numbers and hyphens as they can complicate the domain." - Keren Friedlander, Product Manager at Wix 02. Choose an email provider Once you have your domain, you need a service to host your mail. While you can host your own email server, most businesses opt for cloud-based providers for reliability and ease of use. Popular options include Google Workspace and Microsoft 365. These platforms offer robust security, spam filtering and integration with other productivity tools. Wix offers custom business email addresses so you can use a professional inbox instead of a generic one. When you set up your site, Wix gives you a business email that matches your domain (for example, info@yourbusiness.com), helping you look trustworthy and consistent across all communications. Wix offers business email addresses with Google Workspace integration, meaning you get Gmail’s familiar interface along with powerful tools like Calendar, Drive and advanced security, all while managing everything conveniently from your Wix account.

Connect your domain If you purchased your domain and email hosting from the same provider, they are likely already connected. However, if you bought them separately, you will need to link a custom domain to your email service provider. This usually involves updating your domain's DNS (Domain Name System) records, specifically the MX (Mail Exchange) records, to point to your new email host. Don't worry if "DNS records" sounds intimidating. Most providers offer step-by-step wizards to guide you through this process. If you built your site with a platform like Wix, this step is often built directly into the dashboard. Wix offers custom business email addresses that automatically sync with your site's domain, saving you the headache of messing with complex DNS settings manually. If you purchased your domain separately from your email host, you will need to verify ownership. This usually involves logging into your domain registrar account and adding a specific TXT record provided by your email host. It might sound intimidating, but it is essentially just copying and pasting a line of text to prove you own the website address. Once verified, your email platform can legally send messages on behalf of your brand. You may also be interested in: How to register a domain name How much does a domain name cost? Most popular domain extensions 04. Create inboxes and aliases Now that your domain is connected, it is time to build the actual email addresses. This is t he fun part: deciding what goes before the "@". Set up user inboxes For a solo entrepreneur, start by creating the primary inbox for yourself (e.g. yourname@yourdomain.com). If you have employees or partners, set up their individual accounts now as well. Since Wix offers business email addresses with Google Workspace integration, adding new team members is a quick administrative task rather than a technical hurdle. Use email aliases for organization Beyond individual accounts, you should utilize aliases to look bigger and stay organized. An alias is a forwarding address that sends mail to your main inbox without requiring a separate login. For example, you can create help@, sales@ or press@ and have them all route to you. This allows you to manage different aspects of your business from one place while presenting a structured front to the public. Discover more: Is Wix good for business email? 05. Adjust basic settings Your email setup isn't complete until you've customized your sender profile. Set your display name Before you send your first message, you need to configure how you appear to recipients. The "Display Name" is often the first thing people see in their inbox, even before the subject line. Make sure this is set to your full name or your company name so recipients instantly recognize who is contacting them. A vague or incorrect display name is a fast way to get ignored. Create a professional email signature Next, craft a professional email signature. This should include more than just your name; add your job title, a link to your website and perhaps a small logo. If you plan on forwarding emails to a personal account or need to set a "Reply-To" address that differs from your sending address, handle those configurations now. Inbox organization A tidy inbox is the secret to a stress-free workday. Try using folders to group messages by project, client or department and set up filters to sort your mail automatically. You can even create rules to forward or tag the big stuff so you never miss a beat. When your inbox is organized, you can find exactly what you need in seconds and get back to doing what you love. 06. Enable security essentials Business emails are prime targets for cyber threats, so standard password protection isn't enough. Enforce strong passwords and 2FA You must enforce strong password rules for yourself and your team. Avoid simple phrases and require a mix of characters. Most importantly, turn on two-factor authentication (2FA) immediately. This adds a second layer of defense, usually requiring a code from your phone to log in, which makes it significantly harder for intruders to access your data. Manage team access and permissions You should also review access controls if you have a team. Not everyone needs administrative privileges. Assign roles carefully so that only trusted personnel can change billing information or reset passwords. Taking ten minutes to lock down your security settings now can save you weeks of recovery time from a potential breach later. Learn more about website security and domain name management . 07. Protect your emails with backup and recovery Even when everything is running smoothly, accidents can happen. Regularly backing up your business email is the best way to make sure you never lose important messages, contacts or files. Most email providers—including Google Workspace through Wix—offer automatic backup options or the ability to export your mailboxes easily. Set a schedule to back up your accounts and store copies securely in the cloud or offline. This way, if an email gets deleted or a system error pops up, you can restore your data quickly and keep your business moving. 08. Configure deliverability basics Deliverability sounds technical, but it simply means ensuring your emails actually land in the inbox rather than the spam folder. To do this, you need to authenticate your domain using three protocols: SPF, DKIM and DMARC. Think of these as digital ID cards that tell receiving servers, "Yes, this email is really from us and we authorized it." SPF (sender policy framework): lists the IP addresses allowed to send mail for your domain. DKIM (domain keys identified mail): adds a digital signature to your emails. DMARC (domain-based message authentication, reporting and conformance): tells servers what to do if an email fails those checks. Most providers, including Wix, guide you through adding these records to your DNS settings. Do not skip this; without it, your beautiful marketing emails might never be seen. Learn more: What is DNS? 09. Test before using it Never assume everything is working perfectly without a test run. Send an email from your new business address to your personal Gmail or Outlook account. Check to see how the display name appears, if the signature looks correct on mobile and desktop and most importantly, if it lands in the primary inbox or the spam folder. Then, do the reverse. Reply to that email from your personal account to ensure your business inbox is receiving mail correctly. If you set up aliases like info@, test those as well to verify they are forwarding to the right place. Catching a configuration error now is much better than missing a client inquiry next week. 10. Complete next steps after setup Once the technical side is handled, integrate your email into your daily workflow. Download the mobile app for your email provider so you can respond on the go. If you use project management tools, a CRM or marketing software, connect your new email address to them. This keeps all your business data synchronized. Finally, update your public-facing platforms. Change the contact email on your social media profiles, your website's contact form and your business cards. You want to ensure every potential lead is directed to your new, professional hub. Learn more: Business email address examples Business email name ideas Why you need a business email Using a professional, domain-based email address (like name@yourbusiness.com) instantly shows customers that you’re legitimate, established and serious about your brand. A business email reinforces your identity with every message you send, helps your emails land in inboxes instead of spam folders and keeps work communications separate from personal ones. As your business grows, a business email also scales with you, making it easy to create consistent addresses for new team members and departments. Business email benefits Instant credibility A recent study shows that 60% of consumers say they prefer to be contacted by brands through email , underscoring why using a professional, domain-based business email can be a strategic advantage for credibility and customer interaction. When customers see a custom domain, they instantly trust you more, as it shows you've invested in your business. Brand consistency A business email address reinforces your brand identity with every message sent. Wix offers business email addresses with Google Workspace integration, meaning you get the branding power of a custom domain with the reliability of Gmail's interface. Better deliverability Using a business email prevents your emails from landing in spam folders, as generic email addresses used for business mass-mailing often get flagged as spam. Properly authenticated business emails have a much higher chance of landing in the primary inbox. Team organization A branded email also scales with you; as you hire employees, you can easily create consistent addresses (like name@yourbusiness.com ) for the whole team, without creating entirely new accounts. This keeps your communication organized and professional. Learn more: Is Wix good for business email? What are custom domains How much does a business email cost? How to set up a business email FAQ Can I set up a business email for free? Technically, yes, but it often comes with limitations. Some web hosting providers include free email hosting, but these interfaces can be clunky and lack the security features of dedicated providers like Google Workspace. Free services like Gmail (yourbusiness@gmail.com) are not true business emails because they don't use your custom domain, which can look unprofessional to potential clients. Do I need a website to set up a business email? Technically, no, but you do need a domain name. You can purchase a domain and set up email hosting immediately, even if your website is still under construction or if you plan to operate without one for a while. Can I use a free Gmail account for business? You can, but it is not recommended. An address like yourbusiness@gmail.com lacks the credibility of name@yourbusiness.com. It can make customers worry about the legitimacy of your operation. A custom domain email signals that you are an established professional. What is the difference between an alias and a user? A user is a standalone account with its own login and inbox (like jane@business.com). An alias is a forwarding address (like support@business.com) that delivers mail to an existing user's inbox. Users usually cost money per account, while aliases are often free. How many email address should I create? This depends on the size of your team. At a minimum, you should have one personal address (name@) and one general address (info@ or contact@). As you grow, you can add specific department emails like billing@ or jobs@. Start with what you can manage effectively; remember that you can always add more alias es or users later.

The perfect domain is just a click away: claim your domain →  A professional email address is one that uses your business’s custom domain name instead of a generic one like gmail.com or yahoo.com. It's the difference between surfergirl98@gmail.com and jenna@summerdesigns.com. This simple change makes a huge impact on how potential clients see your business, building trust and credibility with every message you send. Choosing and buying a professional email address is a foundational step in building your brand. It shows you're serious about your business and helps you look polished and established, even if you're just starting out. With tools like a business email from Google Workspace and Wix, setting one up is straightforward and connects perfectly with your website. TL;DR: What is a professional email address A professional email address uses your own domain name, making your business look more credible. It helps build your brand identity and separates your work life from your personal life. Aspect Summary Definition An email address using a custom domain (e.g., contact@yourbrand.com). Main benefit Builds trust and makes your business look more professional. Key feature Reinforces your brand name with every email sent. How to get one Through a service like Google Workspace, often connected to your website builder. What is a professional email address in detail A professional email address is an email that is tied directly to your business’s domain name. Instead of relying on a free email provider, your address features your brand's name right after the "@" symbol. For example, if your website is thefreshloafbakery.com, your professional email could be orders@thefreshloafbakery.com. This isn't just a different name it's a unique way of presenting your business to the world. It signals that you've invested in your brand. When you get a business email, you're creating a consistent and trustworthy identity across all your communication channels. Benefits of a professional email address Using a custom email address does more than just look good. It provides tangible benefits that can help your business grow. From building trust to improving your marketing, it’s a small detail that makes a big difference. First and foremost, it builds credibility. An email from daves-plumbing-co@aol.com might make a potential customer hesitate. But an email from dave@davesplumbing.com immediately feels more legitimate and established. It gives customers the confidence that they are dealing with a real business. A professional email also helps with brand reinforcement. Every time you send an email, you're putting your brand name in front of a client. It keeps your business top-of-mind and strengthens brand recall. This consistent exposure helps build a memorable brand identity. Finally, it helps with organization. By having separate email addresses for different functions, like info@yourbrand.com for general inquiries and support@yourbrand.com for customer service, you can manage your communications more efficiently. This keeps your personal inbox clean and your business correspondence streamlined. Common challenges with a professional email address While the benefits are clear, there can be a few hurdles when setting one up. The most common challenge is the perceived technical complexity. Many people worry about dealing with MX records and server configurations, which can sound intimidating. However, modern solutions have made this process much simpler. When you get a business email through a service connected to your website builder , for example, the complicated setup is often handled for you. For instance, connecting a Google Workspace email to a Wix site is a guided process that removes the technical guesswork. Another consideration is the cost. Unlike free email services, a professional email address has a small monthly fee. While this is an added expense, it’s also a valuable business investment. The credibility and brand recognition it provides deliver a return that far outweighs the minimal cost. Examples of a professional email address The format of a professional email can be adapted to fit your business size and style. The goal is to be clear, simple and easy for customers to remember.

You can access it through the familiar Gmail interface, but all your outgoing messages will proudly feature your brand's domain name.

Services like Google Workspace usually charge a small monthly fee per user. This fee covers your custom email, along with access to other business tools like Google Drive, Docs and Calendar. Can I have more than one professional email address? It’s a good practice to create multiple email addresses for different parts of your business. For example, you could have info@, sales@ and support@ in addition to personal emails for each team member. This helps organize your communications and makes your business look more structured.

Web pages typically include a title, headline body, images, video and links, blending different visual, informational, decorative or interactive web content . Some pages are more decorative, while others are straightforward and minimalistic.  As demonstrated in the handyman website examples we’ll showcase below, a variety of key web pages can be used to effectively help visitors achieve their goals, including:  A homepage that greets visitors with essential information, including your business name, logo and an introduction to your services. It should feature links, a website menu and call-to-action buttons that guide visitors to other areas of your site.    A services page that details your handyman work, from home renovations to repairs and maintenance. Include clear descriptions and pricing when possible to set expectations.  Contact info that makes it easy for visitors to reach you via email, phone or social media. These details can be a standalone web page or added to your website header and footer.  A portfolio website that showcases your work using visual galleries and descriptions of before and after home improvement projects. Use high-quality phots and videos to represent your services at their best.  Landing pages are dedicated pages for promoting specific events, new offers or business updates. Use a landing page builder  to customize a template that will help you design and launch them quickly.    An About Us page to introduce your business with background information, a professional bio and a friendly headshot. Include a “Meet the Team” section here if relevant.  Starting a blog  is optional, but it’s a great marketing tool for boosting SEO and offering more value to your visitors.
