Wow! What an action-packed week it’s been. This time last week we were all guessing what the “Big Announcement” was going to be, and now we know - Wix Studio.
Let me start off by saying “Welcome to the Community Weekly Roundup!”.
As the name suggests, this is a weekly topic to round everything up from the week and provide an overview of things coming up next week. The roundup is by and for the community, so keep engaging and contributing (I may even highlight your contributions 
).
But before we jump into all that, just a quick note to say that if you haven’t got access to Wix Studio yet, we have a gradual rollout like we usually roll out products at Wix.
There’s also no need to signup on the waitlist, we’re rolling out to Partners first and have you covered
You’ll get access in the coming weeks and will be notified.
Hold tight, it’ll definitely be worth it! Now, let’s dive straight back in.
There’s a ton for us to cover in the first of our Community Weekly Roundups, so sit back, buckle up, and enjoy the ride 
Highlights (TL;DR)
- We introduced Wix Studio - an end-to-end web creation platform for agencies and freelancers. If you haven’t watched the launch event yet, check it out here
- As part of Wix Studio, we’ve also launched:
- Wix Studio Community forum - the place to connect and grow with the community of freelancers and agencies using Wix Studio.

From the Community
I’m always inspired by the incredible things the community does, and this week has been no different.
Check out this topic by @stevehoanganh who created a site that helps their clients users find cars along with reading about and reviewing them. Driven by the CMS to handle all the site data, this is an incredible example of what can be achieved using Wix. Keep up the good work @stevehoanganh!
Wix Studio News
If you haven’t already, take a read over these topics to Get started with Wix Studio. Even if you don’t have access yet, they’re definitely worth a read to prepare you for when you get hands-on.
- Wix Studio Academy
- About Wix Studio Workspace
- About Wix Studio Editor
- About Wix Studio Mobile App
- About Wix Studio Community
In the meantime, here are some of my personal favorite features that are available on Wix Studio:
- A more intuitive grid experience - The new Section Grid makes building layouts more intuitive. I personally love how I can click a button to split a cell or swap the content of cells with ease. It’s a huge timesaver to create the exact layout you want.
- No-code interactions - Let me just say, this is BIG! With a rich library of presets that you can customize based on direction, duration, and delay, adding those sparkles to a clients site could never be easier
- Wix Studio App - Ever been out and about and wanted to respond to a Wix Marketplace lead? Or needed to help a client update an item in their CMS? Now you can do all of that right from your phone. A real lifesaver if you ask me!
There are many more new features and I’d love to hear what you’re favorites are so far. Drop them below

Feedback opportunity - Wix Restaurants
The Wix Restaurants team is currently rolling out a brand new, redesigned online ordering experience and would like to test it with users (especially Partners). You’d jump on a 45-minute session to walk through the new experiences and think out loud as you go.
This is an incredible opportunity to provide feedback and help the Restaurants team understand how users interact with the new experience.
If you ever work with restaurants, catering, bakeries, etc who need online ordering, whether or not they’ve used Wix for that in the past, the team would really love your input!
Join the discussion
Now you’re in the forum, it’s the perfect opportunity to take a look around, view all the incredible areas, and get involved in the discussion (maybe even start your own topic).
I’d recommend taking a read over the Getting started with the forum topic to get to grips with how things work. And if you haven’t already, check out the pinned topics at the top of every category to understand what each area of the forum is for.
Resources
To kickstart your journey, the Getting started category is the best place to start with all things Wix Studio, including Community and the Wix Studio Workspace, Editor, and Mobile App.
And if you’re more of a visual learner, and enjoy tutorials, the Wix Studio Essentials course is for you.
If you’re encountering any issues with Wix Studio, take a read over this topic to find out how to report it. This helps the team track any issues.
For feedback about Wix Studio, any insights, or things you want to share, the Feedback category is for you. And if there are any feature requests or things you’d love to see added, share them over in the Wishlist category to discuss them with the community.
Up Next Week
And last, but by no means least, we have the things coming up next week!
Starting Monday, August 7th, we begin our run of daily webinars, covering everything you need to know about Wix Studio, best practices, and more. Go RSVP! You don’t have to sign up for them all, it’s like a choose-your-own-adventure. If you’re unable to attend one you’re particularly interested in, they’re all being recorded and are available to watch whenever you’re ready.
I highly recommend you check them out, it’ll definitely be worth it.
And next Thursday, 10th August, join the Dev Rel team for the highly anticipated webinar: “Introducing Declarative Programming with Velo” with Ofir Dagan, Velo R&D Manager.
If you’re a developer this is definitely a must-watch - register here.
Woooo! And we’re done. If you’ve stuck around till the end, thank you! Wix Studio is an exciting beginning for agencies and freelancers. We’re super excited to begin this journey with our community to continue shaping and impacting the platform.
To finish this week’s Community Weekly Roundup, I’d love to hear everything you’ve been discovering about Wix Studio. Your favorite features, insights, and maybe even sites that you’ve already built!
And that’s all for this week, what would you like to hear about in the next round up?
