How to Choose the Right Wix Template

Pick a template you can maintain, not just one that looks nice.

Last checked August 2026. Wix changes its interface often — if something looks different, the underlying steps usually still apply.

You cannot switch templates later without rebuilding, so this decision is worth ten extra minutes.

Step 1: Count your real content

Choose a template built for the number of pages, services and photos you actually have.

Step 2: Ignore the stock photography

Templates look good because of professional images. Imagine yours in their place.

Step 3: Check the mobile preview

Every template has a mobile view. Look at it before you commit.

Step 4: Prefer simple layouts

Complex overlapping designs are far harder to edit later.

Step 5: Confirm the features you need

If you need bookings or a shop, start from a template that already includes it.

Common questions

Can I change my Wix template later?
Not directly. You would need to build a new site on the new template and move your content across.
