How to code in Wix

In Wix, you can customise your website’s design and functionality by using Wix’s built-in visual editor, which doesn’t require coding knowledge. However, Wix also provides an option called Wix Code that allows you to add custom code snippets to your website for more advanced customisation. Here’s a high-level overview of how to use code in Wix:

1. Enable Wix Code:
– Log in to your Wix account and open your website in the Editor.
– Click on the “Settings” tab in the left-hand side menu.
– Select “Developer Tools” from the dropdown menu.
– Enable Wix Code by toggling the switch to the “On” position.

2. Access Wix Code Editor:
– Once Wix Code is enabled, you can access the Wix Code Editor.
– Click on the “Wix Code” option in the left-hand side menu.
– This will open the Wix Code Editor, where you can write and manage your custom code.

3. Writing Code:
– In the Wix Code Editor, you can write JavaScript code to customise your website’s behavior.
– You can use event handlers, query elements on the page, manipulate data, and more.
– Write your code using JavaScript syntax, following best practices and adhering to the Wix Code API documentation.

4. Adding Code to Your Website:
– You can add code to specific pages, elements, or the entire site.
– To add code to a specific element, select the element and click on the “Add Code” button in the element’s settings.
– To add code to a page, click on the “Page Code” button in the Wix Code Editor and select the desired page.
– To add code to the entire site, click on the “Site Code” button in the Wix Code Editor.

5. Testing and Previewing:
– After writing your code, it’s essential to test and preview its functionality.
– Use the Wix Preview feature to see how your code affects the website’s behavior and appearance.
– Debug any issues and make necessary adjustments to your code.

6. Publishing:
– Once you’re satisfied with your code changes, save your work in the Wix Code Editor.
– Click on the “Publish” button in the Wix Editor to make your changes live on your website.

Remember that while Wix Code allows you to add custom code to your Wix website, it’s important to have a solid understanding of JavaScript and coding principles to ensure effective and secure implementation. It’s also recommended to refer to the Wix Code documentation, API references, and community resources for specific code examples and best practices.

If you prefer a more code-centric development approach, you may consider using other web development platforms that provide greater flexibility and direct access to the underlying codebase.

It is also worth noting that while Wix offers a fun platform to play with and easily make your own website on, website’s built on the Wix platform often do not look professional. In our opinion, if you are looking to build a website for a business or to represent a company you might be better considering a more professional option.
