Wix Studio Simplified: Cells | Wix Fix

Welcome back, fellow design enthusiasts! Whether you're diving head-first into the world of web design or just looking for nifty ways to level up your current projects, you've landed in just the right spot. Today, we're tackling another exciting episode from the "Wix Studio Simplified" series, curated by our resident expert, Ryan, from WixFix. So, without further ado, let’s delve into the dynamic world of "cells" and how they can transform your Wix Studio experience.

What are "Cells" in Wix Studio?

First things first, what's all the buzz about cells in Wix Studio? Essentially, cells provide an easier way to create grid layouts. With the creative freedom they offer, you can craft cohesive and aesthetically pleasing web designs without breaking a sweat. Imagine cells as the building blocks of your site, allowing you to section off content neatly while maintaining a clean and modern look.

Grid Layouts Simplified

Picture this: a blank section ready for transformation. With cells, you have several predefined options to get started. Fancy a three-cell collage? Just click, and your section is immediately divided into three distinct cells. Now you might be asking, "Ryan, is that it? Just click and done?" More or less, but where's the fun in stopping there? Once you’ve set up your cells, the customization begins.

Grid Gap Setting

Is symmetry your best friend or perhaps evenly spaced grids? Enter the Grid Gap feature. This allows you to adjust the spacing between your rows and columns, so whether you prefer a minimalist style or a more spaced-out layout, the control is yours.

Let's take a practical example. If you're hankering for a 48-pixel gap between cells, a few tweaks in the design tab will do the trick. It’s simple, satisfying, and saves you the hassle of manually measuring each space. And if you're one of those detail-oriented designers who love a rounded edge (aren't we all?), you can quickly set that to 48 pixels too.

A Splash of Creativity: Styling Each Cell

Designing using cells isn't just about getting the grid right; it's about bringing your creative visions to life. Want a gray section here and a vibrant orange to pop over there? Easy. Change colors, swap content, and shape your design with just a click. And if you decide later that the colors would look better reversed? No problemo. Just select the cells in question, hit that swap button, and voilà—the switch is made seamlessly.

Customizable Designs, Made Easy

Say you're aiming to create a section with images, text, and maybe a snazzy button. Cells invite you to stack these elements quickly. By grabbing the essential elements—maybe an image stretched across a cell, a text box here, and a button in another—it’s a breeze to arrange them into a cohesive layout.

What’s more, you can ensure consistency by working with percentages. For example, instead of a specific pixel gap, opt for a 5vw margin to maintain equally distributed spacing across your website. This way, no matter the screen size, your design retains its fundamental balance.

It's astonishing how swiftly you can assemble a website section. With cells, a basic yet stylish composition can materialize in under a minute.

Adapting for Mobile Magic

Responsive design isn't a trend; it's a necessity. Thankfully, Wix Studio and cells have got your back here too. Transitioning from desktop designs to mobile-friendly layouts is effortless. By simply adjusting the grid layout from columns to rows for mobile, you ensure that your content flows beautifully on smaller screens.

Take a moment to customize the mobile view further by resizing text and repositioning buttons as needed. With a few intuitive clicks, your images, text, and buttons are not only perfectly aligned but also primed for user interaction no matter the device.
