Expanding text is a useful feature to have on a website, as it allows you to hide lengthy blocks of text and make your page more organized and easier to read. It’s also a great way to save space on your page and make it more visually appealing.
There are a few different ways to expand text in Wix, and in this blog post, we’ll go over two of the most popular methods: using collapsible text and using accordions.
Exciting update! We've collaborated with Wix to offer WBI users with a free plan for all website creation needs - Explore the details here.
Method 1: Using Collapsible Text
To create collapsible text in Wix, follow these steps:
- Log in to your Wix account and go to the editor for the page where you want to add the text.
- Click the “Add” button in the top menu and select “Text” from the dropdown menu. A text box will appear on your page. Type in the text that you want to make collapsible.
- Highlight the text and click the “Format” button in the top menu. From the dropdown menu, select “Paragraph.”
- In the “Paragraph” menu, click on the “Advanced” tab and scroll down to the “Collapsible” section. Check the box next to “Collapsible” to enable this feature for your text.
- Customize the appearance of your collapsible text by choosing a color and setting the default state (expanded or collapsed). You can also add an icon to the collapsible text to make it more visually appealing.
- Once you’re happy with your settings, click “Apply” to save your changes. You now have a block of collapsible text on your Wix website. Your visitors can toggle it open and closed to read the content as needed.
Method 2: Using Accordions
Another way to expand text in Wix is to use accordions. Accordions are a type of widget that allows you to display multiple sections of content in a compact space. When a user clicks on a section, the content expands and the other sections collapse.
To add an accordion to your Wix website, follow these steps:
- Log in to your Wix account and go to the editor for the page where you want to add the accordion.
- Click the “Add” button in the top menu and select “App Market” from the dropdown menu.
- In the App Market, type “accordion” into the search bar and press enter.
- Select the accordion app that you want to use and click “Add to Site.”
- Follow the prompts to customize your accordion. You can add sections, customize the appearance, and add content to each section.
- Once you’re happy with your accordion, click “Apply” to save your changes. Your accordion will now be added to your Wix website.
That’s it! By using collapsible text or accordions, you can easily expand text on your Wix website and make it more organized and easier to read. I hope this guide has been helpful. If you have any questions or need further assistance, don’t hesitate to ask.
