CMS: Getting Started

Add the CMS (Content Management System) to your site to manage content in collections, separate from your editor. This includes content such as text, images, map locations, files, and more. You can then display your content on dynamic pages or in dynamic elements on static pages. The layouts and design of your page elements stay the same, while the content changes according to the connected collection.

To get started with the CMS:

  1. Go to your Editor.
  2. Click CMS  on the left side of the Editor.
  3. Click Start Now or Add to site.
  4. Select an option:
    • Start with a preset: Choose and customize a layout that comes with a collection and dynamic pages. Learn more about adding collection presets. 
    • Start by adding content: Start from scratch by creating a collection and adding content to it. 
Tips:
  • Create forms with input elements and save submissions in a collection. Learn more about creating a form with input elements. 
  • Add a dynamic page to create a large number of site pages, each displaying unique content from your collection. Learn more about dynamic pages.
  • Convert a collection into a catalog collection to use Wix commerce features like cart, checkout, payments, and order management with content that already lives in your CMS.
