Yes, you can use HTML and CSS in Wix's free plan, but with some limitations.
Here’s how you can use HTML and CSS on the free plan:
-
HTML Embeds:
- Wix allows you to add custom HTML code to your site through the HTML iframe/embed widget.
- You can find this option by clicking on the Add button, then going to Embed and selecting HTML iframe or Custom Embeds.
- This allows you to embed custom HTML code, such as third-party widgets, forms, and custom scripts.
However, keep in mind that the free plan places your site on a subdomain (e.g.,
username.wixsite.com/your-site-name
), and you may encounter certain restrictions or watermarks related to using custom HTML. -
CSS:
- While Wix doesn’t directly provide an option to add custom global CSS to the site in the free plan (unlike platforms like WordPress or traditional hosting services), you can manipulate the styling of elements through the built-in Wix Editor.
- You can create and control the look of your site using Wix's visual editor, which offers a drag-and-drop interface for styling. For more granular control, you can inject inline CSS directly into the HTML iframe widget or use the Wix Corvid (Velo) development platform for more advanced customizations.
Limitations:
- No Full Control Over Site Styles: On the free plan, you can't directly edit the global CSS for the entire site, as you would with a custom-built HTML page or through other platforms that allow full access to CSS.
- Wix Ads and Branding: With the free plan, your site will display Wix ads, and you’re using a Wix-branded subdomain. To remove these, you’d need to upgrade to a paid plan.
- Limited Customization Options: While you can embed HTML, advanced customization like manipulating the layout or styling through CSS may be more limited compared to other platforms where you have full access to the codebase.
If you need more control over the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript of your site, you might consider upgrading to a Wix Premium Plan, which gives you access to features like Velo by Wix, where you can write custom code and manage the site’s overall appearance and functionality more freely.
