*Mistake number one: Don't use outdated link and use this link for FREE signup **acortar.link/WixSite** Number two will be that you should not go for free website despite it is completely free because it looks awful with wix logos and ads running on your website.

I thought it was a great video and great list. I'm going to be starting my website soon, using WIX, so I'm glad I found you. I'll be checking out your others. Great job.👏👍
Oh my gosh I thought this was a normal video and then BOOM! I got to #7 and I almost fell out of my chair I was so surprised. I don’t think I’ve heard something so shocking before in my life. I never would’ve thought about putting my name, address or telephone number on my business website before that’s just genius and so unique. Just WOW pure WOW!
not having a mobile version of the website is a very critical mistake. i did it once. it's the easiest thing to overlook, assuming people surf more on PCs and tablets. thank you for expounding on this point.
Just starting to focus on my SEO and website a year after starting it with hardly any visitors. I found this video concise and really useful. I've taken a few really good points so thank you very much 😊
So... You have to have a small Header on your computer??? That looks silly... and what you''re saying is that Whatever size is on your computer is also on your phone? It doesn't convert the size down to the phone??? If this is the case... then the computer version is going to look distorted... Heading (Title) too Small... I am very confused.
I honestly can't believe you just breezed thru the mobile editor with sparkling praise. here in 2021 and we are stuck with some 2010 apple phone temp for the mobile editor. most of us have 1080p phones now. why hasn't Wix updated their mobile editor ? 3-4 standard types to choose from ? the mob editor brought me nothing but grief.
Definitely agree with the no exit pop ups, Ive come across them and its super annoying being forced into subscribing to a mailing list to then go to my emails and unsub!!.. Thank you soo much for these tips!!!!!!
I thought this was a very good lesson for beginners. With the information I learned here I will be able to start my research on how to create a web site. Thank you.
Hi! We're glad you found this helpful. Everyone's website is different, but in our experience, we've found that unless your website is about selling music, it's better to go without!
Thank you very much. This is so helpful. I wonder whether you have any suggestions for the absolute most efficient mobile site building service? Many thanks in advance.
How do you set it up for exit intent? I don't see the trigger setting to allow for this as opposed to popping up within a certain number of seconds. I don't want it popping up while they are reading the content of the page...only when they move the cursor to navigate off the page. If you can explain I would be really grateful. Thanks
Hi, how did you link the box - "Get Quotes Now"? I have form to request custom quote from clients. It is just a form. How do I link to the box? I don't see it in the hyperlink option
Hi..thanks for the easy explanation. But I am facing a problem. This function is happening only once. For example, the menu is appearing only once...I used a menu collapse command on mouse out. But when i hover the mouse again, the menu isnt showing up. Can you help ?
hmm....personally, as a user, I rather like 3 lines button. An icon is always better than text. However, if you really want the text menu than the button, there is a tutorial of it on youtube but it can be quite complex as you need to create a lightbox that contains text linked to each page or anchor (make sure it won't show up automatically), then make the 3 lines disappear by deleting them. Put the text menu and link it to the lightbox. A pro of this method is that you can totally customize your menu lightbox. Other than that, I don't really see any reason to do it but it's up to you.
@@vd3205 ...no. I eventually had to pay someone to redo my site for me since wix had no guidance on this. You would think something as basic as this would be an option but it's not.
Hi, I want to create a website. I need a template or theme in which different people can write their blogs. People can create their account separately on my blog and write blogs. What is the name of the theme?
yea they really gotta overhaul it big time. creating things that aren't templates look so hilariously bad and out of place when you're previewing in mobile, and there's so little you can do about it. so i guess being creative and thinking outside the box comes at a cost lol at least they let you turn it off so that mobile users will be running the desktop version of the site. still not maybe the best decision but it's a million times better than wix "trying" to make your site look even half decent on mobile
@@calvertphoto Holy shit - you are a serious photographer! Not being snarky - after checking out your credentials I feel like I should address you with the term Sir. Thanks for the heads-up about the new Wix editor on the horizon. I am running four Wix sites and the mobile editor is so bad I just redirect people to use a laptop or larger monitor. Just curious how did you find out about upgrade?
@@ColossalCereal I have used the following work around. On the homepage of my regular site in the smallest possible type put a redirect at the bottom of the page. I actually try and hide it. Then on the mobile editor I delete just about everything else except one or two large images and enlarge the redirect so you can't miss it. The text in the redirect it's just a simple request that people use a laptop or larger monitor. hope that help! Hey I was snooping on your site and suspect you might be a street racer...

Great video! Thanks for your input. I am a newbie and am about to start a website design and getting tips. This video really helped.
Did you really need to throw in the whole "Number 7 is going to surprise you" this isn't a clickbait facebook article...
I thought that as well. I already clicked on the video, what is that hoping to achieve?
I was about to click away purely because of that... but I thought I'd give him a chance.

Yeah, your first correction should be to get rid of wix, and get a real website.
@@pugh7755 What do you recommend?
Thank you
Very helpful
Thank you for the information very helpful. still learning.
What would you recommend for images sizing?thank you
Wix's recommended image size is 600 x 315 px. However, you can go as large as 1200 x 630 px, and as small as 200 x 200 px.
Thank you for making this video.

In your finale review of the 24 mistakes . you state to many social media sites. is that correct or should you have said, have social media links

Is there an autoscale function built into Wix that automatically scales the site to the size of monitor or device that a person is using?
Did you find the answer for this?

what is the best way to collect emails? Do I need mail chimp or to pay extra for an app?
