Studio Hours
This week, we held our first Studio Hours, a space for the community to gather and spend time with each other - working through questions.
It was an incredible time, with 59 community members joining to share their knowledge and learn from like-minded creators. I’ll let the feedback speak for itself:
- “… this has been extremely helpful and enlightening. Lots of talent in this room!”
- “[I loved] people coming in with concrete questions and examples”
- “[It was great] meeting the team, benefitting from everyone’s questions"
If you couldn’t join us, we’re putting together some of the questions and answers shared, so you can benefit from the discussions.
Our next Studio Hours will be on 2023-12-13T15:00:00Z, with the theme Design Tools. We’ll have more details early next week, so look out for them.

Upgraded schedule widget on Wix apps
We’ve redesigned the schedule widget in our member apps, including Spaces by Wix, Fit by Wix and Branded App. A new date picker and filters will help your clients’ customers find sessions faster and easier, with dots to highlight sessions and horizontal scrolling to search between weeks and months. Plus, they can filter by location, categories or services and staff, and save filters for the next time.
Add social share buttons to your clients’ sites
Helping site visitors easily share a clients site can not only help increase traffic and sales, but help build a stronger social following.
With social share buttons now available on Wix Studio, site visitors can share a homepage, or other specific site pages, on Instagram, WhatsApp among many more popular channels. You can also control how pages look when they’re shared with customized social sharing settings that can also help enhance SEO.
