Get Started with Wix Editor
When you create a new site, you can choose if you want to build it using Wix ADI (Artificial Design Intelligence) or Wix Editor.
​
ADI: Let Wix ADI Create a Website for You
Answer a few questions to get started! Wix ADI uses this information to automatically create a unique website for you by combining the best content and design elements. Once your site is ready, you can add your own images, customize the text, and more.
​
Editor: Get Started with One of Our Stunning Templates
​
Choose from one of our stunning templates and customize it the way you want. You can drag and drop elements such as text boxes, shapes, images and more.
​
In general, Wix Editor supports the following features which are not available under Wix ADI:
​
-
HTML code element
-
Embed a site element
-
PayPal buttons
-
Music players
-
Documents
-
Webmaster and Member login buttons
-
Wix Hotels

Wix Photo Albums
-
Apps from the App Market (Wix ADI only supports 4 apps: Wix Chat, Wix Blog, Wix Booking and Wix Stores)
(Note: Not all the above functions are available under the "Unlimited" plan subscribed by ITS.)
​
If you are looking for a more feature-rich website and a basic "canned" website may not fit your needs, Wix Editor is a good choice for you. It can deliver a more than "customized" website if you can spend more time in setting it up.
​
To use the Wix Editor, please familiarize yourself with the Wix Editor interface. Through this interface, you can design the header/body/footer, add new pages, manage the page menu, configure the website domain name, set SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and website statistic tool to boost the visiting frequency of a website. Convenient tools such as site history and duplicate site are available handily. The website can be further enriched by using Wix Code and Wix App Market.
