Last updated on January 3, 2023 @ 2:19 am

If you’re working on a new website, or making changes to an existing one, you may want to put your Wix site under construction. This is a common practice among web developers and site owners, and is done for a variety of reasons.

For example, if you’re redesigning your website, you may want to put it under construction so that visitors know that the site is undergoing changes. Or, if you’re adding new features or functionality to your site, you may want to put it under construction so that you can test the changes before making them live for everyone to see.

How to Put Your Wix Site Under Construction

    1. Log in to your Wix account and go to the dashboard of the site you want to put under construction.

    2. Click on the Settings tab at the top of the dashboard.

    3. Click on the General tab in the left-hand sidebar.

    4. Scroll down to the Site Status section and select the “Under Construction” option.

    5. Click on the “Save” button at the bottom of the page.

PRO TIP: If you are planning to put your Wix website under construction, there are a few things you should be aware of. First, your Wix website will be unavailable to anyone who tries to visit it while it is under construction. Secondly, any changes you make to your Wix website while it is under construction will not be visible to anyone else until you take your website out of construction mode.

Your Wix site is now under construction!
There are a few things to keep in mind when your Wix site is under construction:

  • Visitors will not be able to see your live website. Only people who are logged in to your Wix account will be able to see your website while it’s under construction.
  • You can still work on your website. Even though visitors can’t see your website while it’s under construction, you can still work on it behind the scenes. You can make changes, add content, and test new features without anyone seeing what you’re doing.

The bottom line is this: Putting your Wix site under construction is a great way to make changes without affecting your live website. It’s easy to do, and only takes a few minutes. So if you’re working on a new website or making changes to an existing one, be sure to put your Wix site under construction!
