Online Programs: Creating a New Program
6 min read
Build an online program to inspire, teach and engage people with your business. Create programs using our templates for courses, fitness challenges, nutrition plans, or personal coaching. You can also build your own program from scratch.
Once you've set up your program fill it with content and start inviting people to join.
Tips:
- If you have not already done so, add Online Programs to your site for free. Some Wix templates already include Online Programs, making it easier for you to get started.
- You must upgrade your site so people can start joining your program.
Step 1 | Choose a program template
After adding Online Programs to your site, create a program from your site's dashboard. You can choose an existing template to work from or start fresh and customize your own program.
To choose a template:
- Go to Online Programs in your site's dashboard.
- Click + Create New.
- Click the type of program you want to create:
- Template: Choose a program template from the list (e.g. Online Course).
- Click Next.
- Select one of the templates and click Finish.
- Start Fresh: If none of the templates suit your needs, you can create a program from scratch.
- Click Next.
- Enter a name and click next.
- Set the pace and click Next.
- Set the duration and click Let's Go.
- Template: Choose a program template from the list (e.g. Online Course).
What's next?
A specific page for the new program is created in the Draft tab of the Online Programs section of your dashboard. From there, you can edit its content and settings.
Step 2 | Enter your program details
Once you choose the type of program you want to create, it becomes a draft and you can start to edit the details.
Introduce the program to your members and set the pricing for people to join. Make your program self-paced or set a schedule, then decide whether to connect groups and assign badges / certificates to your participants.
To enter your program details:
- Click Edit next to Program Details.
- Edit any of these details:
Basic Info
Visibility and Pricing
Scheduling
Group
Rewards
Notifications
SEO
6. Click Save.
Tip:
You can go back and edit these settings at any time.
Step 3 | Add sections and steps to your program
Build out your program content by adding steps that help participants reach their goals. You can upload photos and multimedia to make the steps more interactive, and add a feedback form after each step. You can also group steps into sections to keep your program organized.
Important:
Sections are only available for self-paced programs.
To add sections and steps:
- Click + Add next to Content / Schedule on the program page.
- Add the content you need to your program:

Step 4 | Publish your program and invite participants
After setting up your program, you're all set to make it live. Publish your program and invite participants to join.

To publish your program and invite participants:
- Click Publish at the top right of the program page.
- Click Publish to confirm.
- Click Invite Participants.
- Choose how you want to invite people to join:

- Share invite link to the program: Copy the link and share it with the people you want to invite.
- Send an email campaign: Click Create Email Campaign to design an appealing email campaign that invites people to join your program.
