Free Website Video Tutorials Offered by Wix.com
Making your own website can seem like a complicated process. Times are changing, and the barrier to entry in the web design industry is declining rapidly.
Online, July 14, 2010 (Newswire.com) - If you're a small business owner, a freelance photographer, a non-profit organization or someone with something to say, a website is one of the most effective methods of getting the job done. The concept of making a website is intimidating to many, despite there being tons of free online tools developed specifically for those with no technical background or programming knowledge.
Wix.com is one such tool. The company designed the free website builder, to bring web design to the masses. With a graphic-based online platform, users can create a free Flash website without having to enter in a single line of code. Design elements can be added to Wix sites and customized with ease, through a simple drag & drop process. Users can add music, customized titles, photo galleries, visual effects, Flash animation and more with just a few clicks.
The company is now expanding its "How To" section, to include a Video Center with tutorials demonstrating the website builder being used to create original, vibrant Flash websites. Users can watch clips on every facet of building a website, including How to Add Music to Your Website, How to Create a Website with a Menu, How to Promote Your Site with Google AdWords, and more.
The new Video Learning Center was created with the needs of the average online user in mind. The clips are extremely comprehensive, and short enough to quickly grab the attention of a viewer and hold onto it for the duration of the video. Wix' colorful interface creates an aesthetic appeal to the videos, and makes it easy for beginners to learn how to make a website .
CEO & Founder of Wix, Avishai Abrahami explained: "The idea behind Wix is to provide every single online user with the ability to design a unique, personalized website. The videos make it easy for people to visualize exactly what to do, every step of the way."
The videos can be accessed from the How To tab on the bottom of Wix' home page, as well as inside the Support wiki. The videos are also available in French, Italian, Spanish and German on Wix' foreign language pages. New tutorials will be recorded and added on a regular basis, as Wix continues to add new design elements and features to its free website software.
Starting next week, Wix is also hosting a series of free online Webinars. Users will be able to log-in and watch live demonstrations of Wix by a Wix staff member, on a variety of topics. Each Webinar will include the opportunity for viewers to submit topic-related questions, and answers will be given at the end of the demonstration.
Wix.com was created in 2006 and is based in New York, with offices in Tel-Aviv. The company is backed by Bessemer Venture Partners, Mangrove Capital Partners and Benchmark Capital.
