It’s important to note that whenever you make changes and save them in the Wix Editor, you should republish your site to ensure the latest version is live.

We enjoyed showing you how to publish in Wix, but it is worth noting that while Wix offers a fun platform to play with and easily make your own website on, website’s built on the Wix platform often do not look professional. If you are looking to build a website for a business or to represent a company you might be better considering a more professional option.
