Setting up a Wix Account
Published Sep 11, 2019Updated Jan 21, 2021
Creating Your Wix Account
- Sign-up using your email address, setting a secure password.
- Press the “Create new site” button to enter a questionnaire that will match the right templates to your current needs. Feel free to just make up answers for now, to see what tools are available for you. But if you have a great idea, go for it!
- Select the “Choose a template” option to go with the Wix Editor. The other tool, ADI, is great for setting up websites quickly, but the Wix Editor gives additional customizability and matches the curriculum of this course.
