A Little Background on Lightbox Menus

Wix has made it fairly simple to create light box menus with its built-in menu options. These menus are easy to customize and can be triggered with a simple click. They're perfect for adding a modern touch to your site's navigation and keeping things clean and organized.

In the current editor or Editor X, you can create lightbox menus using the available pre-built hamburger menu options. However, if you want to replicate or customize the style, you'll have to do it a different way. Follow the steps below to learn how to create a stylish lightbox menu for your site.

Step-by-Step Guide to Creating Lightbox Menus in Wix (Editor X & Editor Code)

Step 1: Choose a Lightbox

First, go to the "Add" icon (that's the "+" sign) on your Wix editor and scroll down to "Lightbox." Here, you'll find a variety of lightboxes to choose from. For this example, we'll be using the "Subscribe Sidebar" pre-built option. Once you've chosen your desired lightbox, you can delete all the pre-built elements in it.

Step 2: Add a Vertical Menu

Inside the lightbox, add a vertical menu by clicking the "Add" icon again, and selecting "Menu." Choose a vertical menu layout and customize its appearance to match your website's design. Feel free to add your own content, such as social media buttons, contact forms, or any other relevant elements.

Step 3: Edit the Lightbox

Now, it's time to edit the lightbox to fit the desired style and appearance for your site. You can customize the background, opacity, and dimensions of the lightbox according to your preferences. Once you're happy with your design, simply exit the lightbox editor.

Step 4: Select a Shape for the Menu Icon

To create a menu icon that triggers the lightbox, go back to the "Add" icon and select "Shape." Then, click on the "More Basic Shapes" button and search for "Lines." Choose the line shape that fits your design and click on the "Add to Page" button to add it to your website.

Step 5: Link the Shape to the Lightbox

With the shape selected, click on the "Link" icon and choose "Lightbox" from the left-side panel. Make sure that the correct lightbox option is selected, and your menu icon is now linked to your lightbox menu.

Wrapping Up

And that's it! You've successfully created a stylish and modern lightbox menu for your Wix website. Keep playing around with the design to make it unique to your site and don't be afraid to make bold choices. Remember, practice makes perfect!
