Key Features

Tips & Tricks

TIP

Be hyper-specific in your initial prompt. 'A website for my dog grooming salon in Seattle called Paws & Relax, focusing on luxury services' works far better than 'a dog business site.'

TIP

Use the AI text creator on each generated paragraph. The first draft is generic; ask it to make the tone more 'energetic' or 'professional' for a major upgrade.

TIP

Don't settle for the first design. Use the 'Reimagine Design' button multiple times to see radically different layouts and color schemes.

TIP

Generate all your core pages (Home, About, Services, Contact) with AI first, then connect them via the menu editor. It's faster than building each page manually.

TIP

After AI generation, immediately run the SEO Setup wizard. It will fill in crucial meta tags you might otherwise forget.

TIP

Use the AI Image Generator for unique hero graphics or icons, but replace stock-looking AI headshots with real photos of your team for authenticity.

TIP

If a section isn't right, use the AI to 'Change Section Text' or 'Change Section Design' instead of deleting and starting from scratch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use my own domain name with the Wix AI free plan?+
No. Connecting a custom domain requires upgrading to at least the Light plan ($17/month). The free plan forces you to use a wixsite.com subdomain.
How good is the AI-generated content for SEO?+
It's a solid foundation but not enough. The AI sets up titles and meta descriptions, but you must manually inject specific keywords, local terms, and original, valuable content to rank well.
Can I change the template after the AI generates my site?+
Yes, but not directly. The AI site isn't a standard template. You can use the 'Reimagine Design' tool for a new AI layout, or manually change every element in the Wix Editor, which is time-consuming.
Is the Wix AI site generator truly free forever?+
Yes, you can generate and publish a site on the free plan indefinitely. However, to remove Wix ads, use a custom domain, or accept online payments, you must upgrade to a paid plan.
What happens if I don't like the website the AI creates?+
You have full control. You can use the 'Reimagine' button for a new design, or simply edit every single element (text, images, layout) using the familiar Wix drag-and-drop editor. The AI output is just a starting point.
