Wix Studio is quickly becoming an end-to-end solution for web designers and marketing agencies. Over the past few months, they have released some new tools to help designers at every phase of the website project.
In this post, I break down each of these tools and resources step-by-step. I also link directly to the resources wherever possible and share some pro tips along the way.
Lets get started!
1. Proposals: Pitch Studio to Clients
Creating compelling pitches is essential for winning over clients, and Wix Studio makes it easier with its Pitch Studio. Access free resources like live site examples, Google Slides templates, and a comprehensive library to help you craft persuasive proposals.Â
Please note: The library hasn’t been updated since April 2024, so double-check for accuracy when using these materials. If you’d like to see how Pitch Studio works in action, check out this YouTube video.
2. Sitemaps and Wireframes: The Visual Sitemap & Wireframe Tool
Efficient planning is the foundation of any successful website project. Wix Studio provides a Visual Sitemap & Wireframe Tool, enabling you to structure your site with clarity and precision. This tool uses an intuitive drag-and-drop system, is AI-powered, and allows you to export your sitemap for easy sharing. Best of all, it’s free as part of the Wix Studio platform.
Pro Tip: The wireframe and sitemap aren’t meant to be ready right off the bat. I always recommend going in and updating them to make it your own, especially the wireframes. It’s meant to help you speed up the process and help you get to your end goal faster.

3. Design and Development: The Wix Studio Editor
Bring your vision to life using the Wix Studio Editor. It’s an all-in-one platform that allows you to design, develop, and refine your website seamlessly. With its intuitive interface and robust features, you can create professional sites that stand out.
For more than 100 videos on how to use Wix Studio, check out my YouTube playlist here.
If you want even more guidance on how to design a professional Wix Studio site, you can check out my online course, Mastering Wix Studio. It’s the course I wish I had when I first started building sites on Studio and has over 160 students from 38+ countries already enrolled.
4. Figma to Wix Studio Plugin
Already have a design in Figma? No problem! The Figma to Wix Studio Plugin makes it easy to import your designs directly into Wix Studio. This feature ensures your workflow remains smooth and that your design elements stay intact during the transition.
Pro Tip: I also recommend checking out the Free Figma Wireframe Kit, which corresponds to the wireframes inside Wix Studio. It’s a great way to speed up your process when you’re getting started. Get the Free Figma Wireframe Kit here.
For a deeper dive into how to use this kit, check out my video:Â How to Use the Figma Wireframe Kit for Wix Studio.
5. Domain Name & Hosting
Simplify the technical side of website management by purchasing and managing your domain name and hosting directly through Wix. Premium plans include everything you need to get your site online quickly and securely.
Pro Tip: Wix also has a cool feature called Payment Request. You can put in your client’s email address, and they will receive an invoice to pay for the plan directly. This will add them as the billing manager to the site, making it easier to update their roles/permissions and eventually transfer the site. Check out my video on the Payment Request feature.
6. Ongoing Marketing & Optimization
Once your site is live, Wix Studio provides a suite of tools to keep it performing at its best:
Email Marketing and Automations: Engage with your audience and save time with automated workflows. Learn about the new automations builder for multi-step automations.
Wix Forms: Generate leads and grow your contact list. Check out my video about Wix Forms.
Analytics Tools: Gain insights into visitor behavior for data-driven decisions. Watch my video on Wix Analytics.
SEO Tools: Connect to Google Search Console and optimize your site for search engines. Check out my Wix Studio SEO playlist.
Pro Tip: Wix also released a comprehensive SEO course that covers a variety of topics from industry experts.
7. Agency Support: Workspace, Client Kits, and Revenue Opportunities
Wix Studio is designed to empower agencies with:
Wix Studio Workspace: Manage all your projects in one place.
Client Kits: Create tailored resources for each client.
Team Collaboration: Work as a team on each project in real-time.
Revenue Share: Earn from yearly premium plans as a Wix Partner. Upgrading a Wix Studio site to a premium plan also earns you 300 points, accelerating your progress in the Wix Partner Program.
Pro Tip: I always recommend asking your clients to go for the yearly plan. It’s a win-win situation. The client gets a discount, and you ensure you get the revenue share. If they decide to go with the monthly plan, I don’t push it, but I always ask about yearly as the default.

8. Templates: Starting Points for Any Project
Wix Studio offers a growing collection of templates created by Wix and its partners. These templates can serve as a foundation for your projects, saving you time and effort while maintaining quality.Â
Pro Tip: I also offer a range of simple, professional templates for Wix Studio that you can use. Check out my templates here, or get them for FREE as part of my online course, Mastering Wix Studio.
9. Wix Business Solutions
Wix Studio provides several great business solutions to help you create a seamless experience for your clients. Whether it’s managing bookings, subscriptions, or building online stores, Wix has you covered. Check out these business solutions:

Klaviyo for email marketing

Wix Studio: The Complete Solution for Designers and Agencies
Wix Studio is fast becoming the complete end-to-end solution for web designers and agencies. With every new update, Wix is adding more tools to support you at every step of the web design process, from the initial pitch to ongoing optimization.
While Wix Studio is putting the pieces in place to cover all your needs, it doesn’t mean you have to give up other tools you might still rely on—whether it’s Figma for design, Google Analytics for tracking, or any other specialized software you prefer.
However, I’m really impressed with how Wix Studio continues to grow and streamline its offerings, making it easier for designers and agencies to work more efficiently. Over time, Wix Studio is positioning itself as an all-in-one platform, providing a comprehensive suite of tools that can help you do everything within a single ecosystem.
