Recommendations for applying to join the Wix Marketplace

When evaluating the portfolio sites you submit, we look closely at their design and user experience. Make sure to also provide documents to demonstrate your experience and provide valid contact details about your clients. 

We recommend submitting portfolio sites that have the following characteristics:
  • The content, messaging, and main CTAs (Call to Action links) are clear and above the fold. 
  • The site navigation is clear and intuitive in the main menu and throughout the site's pages. 
  • The images and graphic elements are appealing, relevant, and of good quality. 
  • The site elements are aligned in an aesthetically pleasing layout. 
  • The site is accessible, mobile friendly, and SEO optimized. 
  • User interface elements are consistent across the site pages. For example, buttons, icons and text should be designed with the same color and font theme.  
  • The site uses advanced functionality when custom solutions are needed (e.g. Velo by Wix, databases, apps). 
When providing your experience, make sure to:
  • Upload certificates and examples of documents you've sent to clients. This can include statements of work, invoices, proposals, and any other relevant documents. 
  • Provide valid contact details for your clients.
