Wix Tutorial for Beginners – Step-by-Step

About this video

The tutorial builds a dessert shop website in Wix, comparing AI and manual routes at each stage. After signing up (continuing with Google) and choosing to create for himself rather than a client, he first builds the site dashboard via AI chat — answering questions about business name, site type, goals, target audience, functionality/integrations, and other business details — then shows the alternative ‘setup without chat,’ typing ‘dessert shop’ and answering prompts about an existing store, products, and how they are sold. The dashboard prompts to check a custom domain based on the store name. For design he generates a site with AI, with options to fully regenerate or tweak the design for the same feel with a different layout, and then shows picking a template instead, warning a chosen template cannot be changed later without rebuilding from scratch. In the editor he explains the header (navigation, social links, title, search/profile/cart), page sections, and footer, then edits via Quick Edit and by selecting individual elements: changing fonts, size, and drop shadow effects, and editing buttons’ text, layout, design, animation, and link targets (page, web address, section, file, email, phone, pop-up). The sidebar covers Add Elements, adding draggable sections, generating and rewriting/shortening text with AI inside a text box, Pages and Menu (show/hide in menu, reorder, drag right for dropdowns, section links and anchors, adding new pages), Media (upload or drag in files, plus the AI image creator used for a gluten-free cookie image), Site Design with a theme assistant that builds color themes from the store logo, and Add Apps. He notes mobile edits do not affect desktop, undo/redo are available, and publishing requires a premium plan to connect the domain — at least Core if accepting payments; he selects Business in the example.

Key takeaways

• You can build both the dashboard and the design either by AI chat/generation or manually — AI can regenerate fully or tweak layout while keeping the feel
• Pick a template carefully: once chosen it cannot be swapped without rebuilding the site from scratch
• Structure every page as header, sections, and footer, and edit either with Quick Edit for a section or by selecting individual text, images, and buttons
• Use Pages and Menu to control navigation: show/hide pages, reorder them, create dropdowns, and link menu items to sections or anchors, not just pages
• A custom domain only connects on a premium plan, and a plan that accepts payments (at least Core) is required for selling; check the separate mobile view before publishing
