How to Make a Free Website Using Wix

Last Updated: April 23, 2022

Wix.com is a website builder that allows you to build a website with no coding. Wix is free to start but to set up a shop, remove branding, connect a custom domain, and more, you must select one of the affordable premium plans.

Steps

1
Go to Wix website, and make an account. You may also log in if you already have an account.
2
When you reach the homepage, click on the Start Now button. This will take you to "My Account" page.

3
On the right, click the Start Creating button.
4
Choose a template. Be careful when making your choice, because Wix does not let you change your template once chosen. Click "Edit."
- Think about what type of website you want and choose the theme that best conveys what you want to express.
5
Wait for the pop up to appear. Make sure that you've disabled your pop-up blocker for Wix.
6
Edit the site details (title and footer text), changing the background color, and add/delete pages.
7
When you're done, save all your work. Wix doesn't autosave, and you don't want to lose all your work!
8
Name your site. Your site name will appear as: www.wix.com/yourusername/sitename. You can get your own custom domain name (without the www.wix.com/username bit) for a price.
9
When you are ready to publish your website, click publish in the corner. Enjoy your website.
