Welcome! I'm Jayne Carney, owner of Blue Heron Support. My primary goal is to elevate small businesses with websites that speak to their customers, showcases their story, and focuses on their brand.
I have been a Wix Partner (formerly known as Wix Expert or Wix Webmaster) since 2016, and use the standard Wix editor every day. I love Wix because I have the ability to create completely custom websites, and my clients can take over from there or choose a support plan.
I created this channel to give my clients (and the general public) tips and tricks on how to use the Wix Editor, Wix training on basic editing, and information on general website best practices. If you find my videos helpful, please add a comment. If you would like to talk about your website needs, feel free to contact me or book a free consult call through my website. I offer hourly support as well as full website design packages.
It's not allowing me to change to left in manage columns . It's saying no left, left. They are in the margins as per your video. Is it a pro tool or something or what am I doing wrong?
It sounds like you are probably clicked on the full strip. Click again on the column you want and make sure only that column is highlighted. Then under the layout icon, you can change the alignment.
Thanks very much. I have a question, how can I create a link from a button which points to a short text description and the text pops up or appears when the button is clicked
If I understand your question correctly, to get a box with text on it to open when the button is clicked, that could be done by adding a lighbox/pop-up or by custom code.
I’m so glad I found you! You’re straight to the point while walking us through these elements AND I can easily and quickly apply the knowledge right away! Thank you!
A section is basically the bottom layer. It can't be divided into columns and the gridline alignment can't be changed. You can add several strips to sections to create the layout you want. Then, if you want to move a section up or down on desktop or mobile, it is easy to arrange full sections, instead of individual strips, where you want them, by clicking the up/down arrow at the right of the section once you have it highlighted. I think this was recorded before the new sections were added to the site.
I would have to look at it to see what you mean, but it sounds like you may have something extended beyond the edge, maybe even a text box that extends past the edge of the site. Feel free to contact me directly with the link to your site.
If I understand correctly, you could make the text the same color as the button, then a different color when hovered to make it show up. Otherwise, you could try a hover box instead of a button or custom code.
im sorry, but if you minimize the screen for a little bit smaller, the picture remains its original size making it like it is cropped, it is the different 'responsive' meaning that i thought.
great video.. !!! How would you make the work on top of a video? I keep on getting a black strip when I preview. (the strip is not there in editing mode) thanks!!!
I really enjoyed this video . I'm 65 years old and trying to help my friend build his wix website . And when people were looking at his site on different monitors a lot of the content was missing. This will help me straighten it out . Do you know how to do any coding? Please let me know. Thank you . 😊
I'm glad my video was helpful to you! I don't code, but there may be a way to do whatever you are trying to do without code. Feel free to contact me through my website with details of your needs.
You can only link as a phone number. You could include your phone number on a button, if you want to prompt them to "call or text", then they could copy/paste the phone number to send a text. Another option, if you have the Wix Chat bubble enabled on your site, you can set that up under Settings to get notified when someone enters a question there, so you can respond immediately. Under the Help section, search for "Wix Chat Notifications" for more info.
I LOVE THIS VIDEO! I was struggling to figure out how to use the Strips feature on our site and this made it really easy to figure out. Great short video, right to the point and again super helpful. Thank you.
OH, I have a question. My client is a beauty salon and she wants the price list to pinpoint the areas of the services (she does not want to show all the services if they click on just one option). I have made a price list and wonder if I have to recreate each section or can I just have it zoom into that section of the list to the appropriate category. Hope that makes sense. Thank you.
Thanks for this video Blue Heron Support. I am a newbie and have been wondering about how to do more pages and how to organize them. Much appreciated and have subscribed!😃
Question, on the Site pages and menu I created a page to add videos however videos from another page somehow got added to it that I didn't want. If I delete those videos would they get deleted from that page only or from the whole website?
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Your video was very insightful and greatly appreciated. Request for a video or point me to a source that deals with dynamically adjusting a container and/or sprit to support multi-select feature so that the container and/or sprit automatically adjust height to accommodate the multi-select objects in a fully expanded state.
