How To Make A Landing Page On Wix

Landing pages are specialized web pages designed with a single focus or goal, known as a call-to-action (CTA). Unlike a full website, a Wix landing page strips away navigation menus and distractions so every element pushes visitors toward one action: signing up, buying, or booking. This focused design is why landing pages consistently outperform standard web pages for conversions.

This guide helps even those with no web design experience create an effective landing page using Wix. By following five simple steps, you can design a Wix landing page that captures leads, sells products, or promotes a service and actually converts visitors into customers.

Step-by-Step Guide to Making a Landing Page on Wix

Building a landing page on Wix is faster than building a full site. Most users complete their first page in under an hour. This walkthrough covers every step, from logging in to hitting publish, including how to use Wix columns to organize your layout, with specific tips on making your CTA buttons and content drive real results.

Step 1: Log Into Your Wix Account

Go to Wix and sign into your account. If you are new to Wix, sign up with your email address or a Google or Facebook account. It takes under two minutes and is free to start. Once you are logged in, head to your dashboard to begin setting up your landing page.

Step 2: Select a Landing Page Template

In your Wix dashboard, go to Templates and filter by Landing Pages. Wix has hundreds of purpose-built landing page templates. Look for one that matches your campaign goal: lead capture, product launch, event registration, or free download. Pick a template with a clear hero section, a prominent CTA button near the top, and minimal navigation links. A well-structured template does most of the conversion work before you change a single word.

Step 3: Add Your Unique Content

Replace every placeholder in the template with your own copy, images, and brand colors. If you want to use a hero video at the top of your landing page instead of a static image, see our guide on how to add video to your Wix landing page to set this up. Keep your headline tight: one sentence that states your offer and its biggest benefit. Use bullet points to list three to five outcomes the visitor gets by taking action. Avoid walls of text - landing page visitors scan before they read. Most landing page templates already include column sections, but you can set up column layouts manually to match your exact design needs. If you want to include a short explainer video, Wix lets you embed one directly, which can increase time on page and lift conversions.

Step 4: Add CTA Buttons and Links

Your CTA button is the most important element on the page. Use action-first labels like Get My Free Guide, Start My Free Trial, or Claim Your Discount rather than the generic Submit or Click Here. Place at least two CTA buttons: one above the fold and one near the bottom, so visitors do not have to scroll back up. To learn how to add and style buttons in Wix, see our guide on how to add a button on Wix. If you want to capture leads without sending visitors to a new page, consider adding a pop-up form. Our guide on how to add a popup on Wix walks through the setup.

Step 5: Publish Your Landing Page

Before you publish, preview the page on both desktop and mobile. More than half of landing page traffic comes from phones, and Wix's mobile editor lets you adjust layouts independently. Once you are happy with both views, click Publish to make the page live. After publishing, open the live URL in a private browser window and click through every CTA button and form field yourself to confirm everything works as intended.

One step many people skip: set up a Thank You page. After a visitor submits a form or clicks a CTA that completes an action, redirect them to a dedicated thank you page rather than showing a generic confirmation message. In Wix, go to your form settings, find the Post-Submit options, and set the redirect to a new page you create. A good thank you page confirms the action, sets expectations for what happens next, and can offer a secondary CTA (such as following on social media or downloading a bonus resource).

Wix Landing Page vs. Full Wix Site: Which Do You Need?

Knowing when to create a landing page versus a full site saves you time and gets better results from your marketing campaigns.

A Wix landing page is the right choice when you have a single, specific goal: collecting email sign-ups, selling one product, promoting a webinar, or running a paid ad campaign. Because it has no site navigation, visitors stay focused on your offer instead of browsing away.

A full Wix site makes sense when you need multiple pages - an about page, a blog, a product catalogue, or a custom contact form - and you want visitors to explore your brand over time.

Many businesses use both: a full Wix site for their main web presence and dedicated landing pages for each marketing campaign or product launch. Wix supports this setup natively, letting you create standalone pages that sit outside your main site navigation.

How to Track Conversions on Your Wix Landing Page

Publishing your landing page is only half the work. Knowing whether it actually converts requires setting up conversion tracking before you drive any traffic to it.

Using Wix Analytics

Wix includes built-in analytics accessible from your dashboard under Analytics & Reports. For landing pages, the most useful metrics are:

• Sessions and unique visitors - total traffic arriving at your page
• Bounce rate - the percentage of visitors who leave without interacting
• Form submissions - if you added a Wix form, submission counts appear in your Forms & Submissions dashboard
• Button clicks - Wix does not track individual button click counts natively, but you can see link click data through Google Analytics events

Connecting Google Analytics

For deeper conversion data, connect Google Analytics to your Wix site. From your Wix dashboard, go to Marketing & SEO, then Marketing Integrations, and select Google Analytics. Paste your GA4 Measurement ID and save. Once connected, you can set up conversion events in Google Analytics (such as tracking form submissions as goals) and see which traffic sources produce the most conversions on your landing page. This data tells you whether to invest more in paid ads, organic search, or social, based on actual conversion performance rather than traffic volume alone.

How to A/B Test Your Wix Landing Page

A/B testing means running two slightly different versions of your landing page at the same time to find out which one converts better. Wix does not have a native split-testing tool, but you can run A/B tests manually in a few steps.

1. Duplicate the page in your Wix editor. Right-click the landing page in Pages & Menus and select Duplicate. This creates an identical copy you can modify.
2. Change one element on the duplicate: the headline, the CTA button label, the hero image, or the form placement. Test one variable at a time so you know which change actually drove the improvement.
3. Split your traffic between the two pages. If you are running paid ads, create two ad groups pointing to different URLs. If you are driving organic or email traffic, alternate which URL you share over time.
4. Measure for at least two weeks before drawing conclusions. Small traffic volumes produce misleading conversion rate differences - wait until each version has received at least 200 visitors.
5. Keep the winner and start the next test. Continuous testing compounds over time: a 5% lift each month adds up to a substantially higher-converting page by the end of the year.

Why Landing Pages Matter for Your Marketing

A landing page plays an important role in digital marketing by serving as the first point of interaction between a visitor and a brand. Unlike a homepage, it is built for one outcome, which makes it far more effective at driving that outcome.

Here are six reasons every Wix site owner should know how to create a landing page:

Conversion Optimization

A well-crafted landing page focuses on a single call to action, increasing the likelihood of converting visitors into customers. By removing navigation menus and off-topic content, the page keeps attention on the offer. Studies consistently show that targeted landing pages outperform homepages for paid traffic, sometimes by a factor of five or more.

Targeted Messaging

Landing pages let you match your message to the exact ad, email, or social post that brought the visitor to the page. This message match uses the same language and offer the visitor already responded to, which builds immediate trust and reduces bounce rates. You can create multiple versions of a landing page for different audience segments without changing your main website.

Lead Generation

One of the primary purposes of a Wix landing page is to capture leads by collecting visitor information through forms. Offering something of value - a free guide, a discount code, or an exclusive webinar - in exchange for an email address is the most common and effective approach. Those leads can then be nurtured through email marketing campaigns over time.

Measurement and Optimization

Landing pages give you clean, isolated data. Because the page has one goal, you can measure exactly how many visitors took that action and calculate a precise conversion rate. Wix connects to Google Analytics and other tools, letting you track bounce rates, time on page, and form completions. Use that data to test headline variations or CTA button colors and continuously improve your results.

Branding and Consistency

A landing page offers an opportunity to reinforce brand identity across every marketing channel. When the design, colors, and tone of your landing page match the ad or email that sent the visitor there, it creates a consistent experience that builds credibility. Inconsistency between an ad and the page it links to is one of the most common reasons visitors leave without converting.

Flexibility and Scalability

Wix landing pages can be duplicated and adapted for new campaigns in minutes. Launch a seasonal promotion, test a new product offer, or run a giveaway, then duplicate the page and swap out the content for the next campaign. You can scale your marketing efforts without rebuilding from scratch every time.

Build, Launch, and Improve Your Wix Landing Page

Creating a landing page on Wix is one of the highest-impact things you can do for your marketing without needing a developer. In five steps - log in, pick a template, add your content, set up your CTAs, and publish - you can have a live, conversion-ready page that captures leads or drives sales.

The key is keeping the page focused: one offer, one CTA, no distractions. Set up a thank you page for post-conversion flow, connect Google Analytics to track real results, and use Wix's page duplication feature to run simple A/B tests over time. Start with a template, customize it for your audience, and let the data guide your next move.
