Build a Website Landing Page with Me in Wix Studio! 👩‍💻

Hey all! Welcome back to another blog post. If you're new here, let me introduce myself: I’m Char, a branding and web designer based in the UK. Today’s adventure is a follow-up from my previous video where I dove into designing a landing page using Wix Studio. If you missed that episode, I recommend catching up—it’s linked throughout the blog for your convenience.

Why Wix Studio?

Wix Studio is quickly becoming my go-to platform, especially when it comes to simplifying the design process both for myself and my clients. It really shines as an all-in-one solution, offering features that span from social media tools to app integrations and resource kits that make upkeep a breeze for clients. If you're keen on elevating your client's overall experience while ensuring they can maintain their sites easily, Wix Studio might just be the platform you’ve been searching for.

Let's jump into it!

Getting Started: Setting the Stage 🎨

We’re diving right into the backend of Wix Studio with a blank canvas and a ton of creative excitement. To prepare, I've set up all of my site styles. This includes headings, paragraph text, and even custom fonts. The flexibility of uploading your own fonts is pretty rad, right?

Next up, configuring our color palette—I've uploaded all my brand colors so we're ready to paint the town pink (or whatever colors you're vibing with today).

Tip: Adjusting the background section involves selecting your desired image, setting the background color, and playing with image opacity for that text-overlay magic.

Designing the Hero Section 🌟

The hero section is where we make the first impression, so let’s make it count. I started with a background section layered with imagery and a splash of design elements—a pink line locked to the bottom of the screen, visual balance, you know?

Adding our brand icon is next, making sure it's nestled right where we want it. This could take a bit of fiddling, but the beauty of design is in these little tweaks.

We also have a checkbox on "entrance animations"—wiggling text to sneak in from the left, icons appearing from the bottom, and arrows bouncing to grab attention.

Optimizing for Different Devices 📱💻

Cross-device compatibility is KEY. Believe it or not, a site that wows on desktop and then falls flat on mobile is a big no-no. So we’re checking out the transitions on tablets and smartphones, ensuring everything scales and aligns.

The About Section: Get Personal 🤝

Our next task is crafting the About section. We’re switching things up by altering the background color and tweaking text designs. There’s something very zen about copy-pasting text and aligning it oh-so-perfectly until everything looks just right.

Creating dynamic cards filled with content is the main act here. Each card has interaction layers, animations popping from different directions, and once you’re satisfied with one, it’s just a matter of copy-pasting and editing. Efficiency is everything.

The Gallery: Inspiration Station 🖼️

Time to showcase your work with a gallery section. Thanks to Wix pre-built sections, time usually spent on layout can instead go to selecting the best images and customizing the design to fit your aesthetic. I tweaked the image sizes and adjusted layouts to ensure everything’s on brand.

Founder's Section: Keeping It Real 🌟

This part is all about storytelling. We’re using a split-screen layout—one side for fancy text and the other, eye-catching imagery. Don't forget to sprinkle those entrance animations for a touch of flair.

Sign Up and Forms: Connection Points ✍️

Interactivity meets practicality with the Sign-Up forms. While Wix provides built-in options, creating custom forms gives you ultimate design control. Set up your form fields via CMS, connect and verify with data sets, and your form is good to go.

Footer: Wrapping It Up 🎁

And finally, the footer. Consistency is key, so we ensure the footer mirrors our header in style and navigability. Adding social media links (like an Instagram icon) ensures all roads lead back to your wonderful creations.
