If you have a lot of information that you want to include on your Wix website, but don’t want to overwhelm your visitors with long blocks of text, you can create expandable text sections. These allow your visitors to click on a link to expand and view more information, keeping your page layout clean and organized.

Here’s how to create expandable text in Wix:

Exciting update! We've collaborated with Wix to offer WBI users with a free plan for all website creation needs - Explore the details here.

  1. Log in to your Wix account and open the editor for the relevant website.
  2. Drag and drop a “Button” element from the left-hand panel onto your page.
  3. Double click on the button to edit the text and style as desired. This will be the link that your visitors can click on to expand the text.
  4. Next, drag and drop a “Text” element onto your page, below the button.
  5. Enter the text that you want to make expandable into the text element.
  6. Highlight the text that you want to make expandable, and click on the “Link” icon in the top menu.
  7. In the “Add a Link” window, select the “Button” element that you added in step 2 from the dropdown menu. This will link the text to the button.
  8. Click on the “Add Link” button to save the link.
  9. Preview your page to test the expandable text. When you click on the button, the linked text should expand and reveal the additional information.

That’s all there is to it! With just a few simple steps, you can add expandable text sections to your Wix website to make it easier for your visitors to find the information they need.

PRO TIP: If you are not careful, expanding text in Wix can result in some awkward formatting. Make sure to preview your changes before publishing them!
