Adding a background

Backgrounds are extremely important for the overall feel and design of a website. Your template should already include a background but like so many other things, Wix gives you even more freedom.

To add a different background click on the Background section to show even more options. The Color button allows you to apply a solid background color. The Image and Video buttons will prompt you to upload your media of choice to use on your website. There is also a whole collection of images and videos that you can choose from to set as your background.

Apply a background on Wix site

Click on the "Apply to Other Pages" button on the bottom if you want to see all this background on all of your website's pages.

Adding Elements: Text

Text is one of the most common elements on a website, it gives you a chance to provide a message to your audience!

To get started, click on the Add button and select the Text option at the very top. Select a type and style that suits your needs. Double click the option to place it right in the middle of your page. You can also save some time by dragging and dropping the element to exactly where you want it to go.
