    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.

    Make sure that you've disabled your pop-up blocker for Wix.

    Wix doesn't autosave, and you don't want to lose all your work!

    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.
