[ What you get ]

4 deliverables. Nothing implicit.

Responsive build: Sections and breakpoints planned up front so the site scales from mobile to ultrawide without rework.You own: The published Wix Studio site in your account
CMS collections: Content structured around your pages and posts, with editors able to extend it safely.You own: The CMS schema plus a content guide
Velo integrations: Custom logic only where native features end, with every Velo module documented.You own: Documented Velo code in your site
Headless API wiring: Wix Headless APIs connected where external surfaces need the same content.You own: Working integrations with their data flows documented
Done means: Done means the site is live in your Wix account, editors can update collections without calling us, and every Velo module is documented in plain language.
Not included: Wix plans and app subscriptions stay in your name; we do not take over your content publishing.

[ How it works ]

The wix studio development engagement, phase by phase.

Layout & responsive planning: Breakpoints and section behavior are planned up front, so the build scales from mobile to ultrawide without rework.
Build & Velo: The site is built with native sections, and Velo is used only where custom logic genuinely needs it — never as a default.
CMS & headless APIs: CMS collections are structured around your content, and Wix Headless APIs are wired where external surfaces need the same data.
Launch support: We verify responsive behavior and integrations on staging, then hand over editing permissions and a content guide.

[ Field notes ]

How we think about wix studio development.

Why build in Wix Studio: Wix Studio combines responsive design tools with a visual CMS, so teams can shape both page layout and content structure in one environment. The result is a site that stays editable without giving up a considered user journey.
Who Wix Studio suits best: This fits small teams and organizations that want a visual CMS and fast publishing but still need thoughtful navigation and layout. It is also a practical choice when a marketing site needs to be maintained by non-developers.
What a Wix Studio engagement delivers: Deliverables include responsive layouts, CMS collections, Wix SDK or Velo integrations, and launch support. That combination covers structure, dynamic content, custom logic, and getting the site live cleanly.
Discovery: content model and journey: We begin by mapping the content types and the user journey so page structure follows the audience's needs. This planning decides where Wix Data CMS collections and dynamic pages will carry the content.
Responsive layouts in the Studio editor: Layouts are built with Wix Studio's responsive design tools so elements reflow across screen sizes instead of breaking. Breakpoints and layout modes are managed in the editor rather than patched afterward.
CMS collections, dynamic pages and repeaters: Structured content lives in Wix Data CMS collections and is rendered through dynamic pages, repeaters, and dataset binding. When content changes, the pages update without touching the layout.
Extend Websites with Velo and Wix Headless APIs: Custom behavior can be developed through Wix's Extend Websites with Velo tooling and the Wix JavaScript SDK. Wix Headless APIs are considered when a separate frontend or external system needs the platform's business capabilities. Web Modules, HTTP functions, Routers, event handlers, recurring jobs, and Secrets Manager connect CMS collections to outside services without hiding the platform's operational boundaries.
Wix Business Solutions and app integrations: Business functionality such as bookings, e-commerce, and payments can be wired in through Wix Business Solutions. App integrations extend the platform without custom code where they already fit.
SEO settings and structured data: Each page is configured with SEO settings and structured data so search engines understand the site's content. This is applied as part of the build, not as an afterthought.
Collaboration, roles and the launch workflow: Site collaboration and roles let editors work safely without risking design or code. The launch workflow covers staging reviews, publishing the site, and confirming everything works on the live domain.
Handoff for the internal team: The handoff shows the team how to use the editor, CMS collections, and dynamic pages in their daily publishing. Documentation covers which parts to edit and which parts to route through the team that handles Wix IDE, Velo, SDK, and layout changes.
Ongoing care and related services: Post-launch work includes extending CMS collections, adding Velo integrations, and refining journeys as the site grows. Related services cover content refresh and connecting additional Wix Business Solutions.

[ Common questions ]

Can non-developers manage content in Wix Studio?

Yes. Content is managed through the visual editor and Wix Data CMS collections, while Velo logic and layout changes can stay with a development team.

What is used for custom Wix behavior?

Custom behavior can use the Wix IDE, Velo, and the Wix JavaScript SDK, including Web Modules, HTTP functions, Routers, event handlers, and Secrets Manager where the project needs them.

How are dynamic pages set up?

Content is stored in CMS collections and rendered through dynamic pages, repeaters, and dataset binding so updates flow through automatically.

Is the build responsive?

Yes. Every layout is built with Wix Studio's responsive design tools so it adapts across screen sizes rather than relying on a fixed design.

What does launch support cover?

Launch support covers the publishing workflow, staging reviews, SEO settings and structured data checks, and confirming the site runs correctly on the live domain.

Wix Studio Velo: deciding where custom behavior belongs

Velo can add custom data, backend logic, and integrations to Wix Studio, but the build still needs an explicit boundary between editor-managed content, custom code, permissions, and external APIs.
