Setting Up Your Wix Website

First things first: get cozy with Wix’s website editor. If you’re yet to start, surf through the plethora of templates, themes, and customization options available. Talk about options! Wix offers so many ways to make sure your site looks exactly how you want. Once you’ve got your design nailed down, go ahead and hit that Publish button in the editor’s top right corner.

The Domain Dilemma: Don’t Panic!

At this stage, you might notice that Wix automatically assigns a free domain to your site—not exactly the snazzy, personalized URL you had in mind, right? 😬 But fear not! We got your back. With just a few tweaks, you’ll be able to customize this to something that’s uniquely yours.

Personalizing Your Free Domain

Now, let’s get into the nitty-gritty of claiming and personalizing your free domain:

1. Dashboard Fun

Straight from your website dashboard, click on Settings. This is your command center, and we’re making moves!

2. Magic in the Settings

Under Website Settings, you’ve got the option to customize your website’s address. Think of a catchy, memorable name that represents your site.

3. Claim Your Unique URL

To switch things up, head over to Account Settings (find it at the top right corner of your dashboard). Look for your Site URL Prefix. This is where the transformation happens. Say goodbye to the boring default and give your site a name that sings!

Boom! Just like that, you’ve got a free domain for your Wix site that’s both professional and personal.

Why Personalize a Free Domain?

Having a personalized domain adds so much more credibility to your website for visitors and potential clients. It’s like comparing a handwritten card to a text message—there's a personal touch that stands out. Plus, with a unique name, you’ll also score big time when it comes to being memorable.
