Wix Portfolio: Adding and Setting Up Wix Portfolio

5 min read

Wix Portfolio allows you to display your work for current and prospective clients to see. Whether you are a photographer, UX designer, fine artist or an architect, Wix Portfolio offers you the space to showcase your work.

Add the Wix Portfolio app from the Wix App Market then start creating projects with as many photos and videos as you like. You can create collections to help visitors find the projects that are most relevant to them.

Click + New Collection on the top right.
Enter a name and description for your collection in the Collection Info section.
Add projects to the collection:
1. Click + Manage Projects.
2. Select the projects you want to add.
3. Click Continue.
(Optional) Click the Hide this collection toggle to hide this collection from your portfolio until you're ready to display it.
Click the Add icon under Cover image to add an image that represents the collection. Click the Focal Point icon to adjust where the image is centered.
(Optional) Edit the Collection Slug to change the last part of the collection's URL.
Click Save.
Repeat these steps to add more collections to your portfolio.
