Can You Use JavaScript on Wix?

Last updated on September 30, 2022 @ 11:42 pm

Yes, you can use JavaScript on Wix. In fact, Wix is built on top of a JavaScript framework, so it’s very easy to work with JavaScript on Wix.

There are a few things to keep in mind when working with JavaScript on Wix, but overall it’s a very straightforward process.

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

The first thing to keep in mind is that Wix uses a unique file structure. When you add a new file to your Wix site, it will automatically be placed in the appropriate folder.

For example, if you add a new JavaScript file, it will be placed in the ‘scripts’ folder. This can be confusing at first, but you’ll get used to it quickly.

PRO TIP: Most Wix users don’t need to use JavaScript. However, if you’re comfortable working with code and want to add custom functionality to your Wix site, you can use JavaScript. Just remember that Wix doesn’t provide support for custom code.

Another thing to keep in mind is that Wix uses a unique URL structure. When you create a new page on your Wix site, it will automatically generate a unique URL for that page.

This URL will be different from the URL of your home page or any other pages on your site. Again, this can be confusing at first, but you’ll get used to it quickly.

Overall, working with JavaScript on Wix is a very straightforward process. Just keep in mind the unique file and URL structures and you’ll be fine.
