When building a site, sometimes you have a clear design vision and other times you need some inspiration. Whether you know exactly where to begin, or need a little help getting started, our 800+ website templates can help you create your dream site.
Choose from pre-designed templates, blank templates or use our AI Website Builder to help get you started on your website creation journey. Each of these templates have been carefully researched and curated by our own designers, to make sure they best fit current trends and industry needs.
Building a site with a pre-designed template
Pre-designed templates are those that already include sample content, color themes, galleries, inner pages and built-in business features. This helps to provide you with design foundations, guidance and useful features from the start - so that you can get your site online as fast as possible.
Our templates are organized into categories for easy browsing: Business & Services, Store, Creative, Community and Blog. Hover over each one to discover subcategories. You’ll find that templates in each category are already set up with popular design trends, layouts, features and tools that are in line with the common goals in your industry.
To begin with a pre-designed template:
- Go to the Wix Editor templates page.
- Click a category and select an option that best matches your site's intent: (e.g., Click Business & Services and select Travel & Tourism).
- Hover over a template and click Edit.
- Customize your site.
Building a site with a blank template
A blank template provides a clean slate for those who prefer to design their site from scratch. This option is ideal for when you have a clear vision and want complete creative control.
You can choose from an entirely blank template, or select one of the blank templates with a guiding layout already in place. Hover over a template and click View to see what the template includes before choosing it for your site.
To begin with a blank template:
- Go to the Wix Editor templates page.
- Click Blank Templates.
- Hover over a template and click Edit.
- Customize your site.
Generating a site with AI
Creating a website has never been easier, thanks to Wix's AI Website Builder.
The builder helps you quickly create custom sites through a chat interface. Start by answering questions about your business needs, design preferences, and the apps you need to run your business. The tool then generates a design based on these answers, and turns your business story into a fully functioning website.
You can easily adjust the template the AI generates by regenerating the entire site and getting a completely new template, or, by individually tweaking the theme, layout, images, and text until you're satisfied.
