How to Add a Strip in Wix

Strips are versatile, full-width content sections in Wix that allow users to create visually appealing layouts and organize content effectively. Whether you’re looking to add new horizontal sections, duplicate existing ones, or remove them altogether, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know about managing strips in Wix.

How to Add a Strip in Wix

Adding a strip to your Wix website is simple and only takes a few clicks. Strips are useful for separating content, inserting background images, or creating organized blocks across the full width of the screen.

To add a new strip to a Wix page:

1. Open your Wix editor and navigate to the desired page.
2. Click the “+ Add” button on the left menu.
3. Select “Strip” from the options.
4. Choose a pre-designed strip or a blank one.
5. Drag and drop it where you want on the page.

How to Customize Strip Settings in Wix

Once the strip is added, you can customize its appearance, layout, and content. Wix provides powerful tools for design flexibility.

• Background: Click the strip, choose “Change Strip Background” to set an image, color, or video.
• Height: Drag the top or bottom edges of the strip to adjust the height.
• Content Blocks: Add text, images, videos, or buttons inside the strip for a richer design.
• Alignment: Use strip settings to align inner content properly within full-width layout.

Organizing Your Page Using Strips

Strips help break up content into clean, digestible sections. Here’s how you can use them for layout customization:

Sectioning your page. Use different strips for headers, features, testimonials, and footers.

Full-width banners. Set background images or videos for strong visual impact.

Interactive layouts. Embed slideshows, galleries, or parallax scrolling effects within strips.

Duplicate strips. Right-click on a strip and choose “Duplicate” to reuse design and content blocks.

If you no longer need a strip, removing it is just as easy:

To remove a strip from the Wix editor:

1. Select the strip by clicking anywhere on it.
2. Press the “Delete” key on your keyboard, or right-click and select “Delete.”
