New to Wix?
Wix offers a variety of templates and design tools to help you create a professional looking website in no time. Go to Wix.com and click Get Started to sign up and start creating.
Publishing your site
You can publish your site at any time from the top toolbar of the Editor. Even after publishing, you can edit your site as much as you want. Whenever you make a change, simply publish again to make sure the changes go live.
To publish your site:
- Click Publish at the top right of the Editor.
- (Optional) Click View Site to be taken to your live site.
- Click Done to return to the Editor.
Note:
Remember, clicking Save won't make your changes live. After saving, make sure to click Publish to show the updates on your live site.
Not quite ready to go public?
That's OK, you can publish your site, but temporarily prevent search engines from indexing it. That way you can share your site with friends and family before it gets indexed on Google.
Viewing your live site
After your site has been published, it automatically appears online and can be seen by anyone entering your free site URL (accountname.wixsite.com/site-name) or domain name.
Tip:
Click Preview at the top right of the Editor to see how your site looks before publishing.
You can also access your live site from the Editor. Click Site on the top bar of the Editor and click View Site.
If you want to show your site to your friends, you can email them your site URL or domain name, or share it on social media.
