Duplicating a Wix website or individual pages can save time and effort, especially when managing multiple designs or maintaining consistency across client projects. Whether you're copying layouts, content, or entire websites, Wix offers several ways to streamline the process. This tutorial explains how to duplicate websites and pages in Wix step-by-step.
How to Duplicate a Page in Wix
If you're working inside the Wix Editor and want to recreate a specific page layout or reuse content, duplicating the page is quick and simple.
Steps to duplicate a page:
- Open your website in the Wix Editor.
- Click the Pages & Menu icon on the left sidebar.
- Find the page you want to duplicate.
- Click the three-dot icon (⋮) next to the page name.
- Select Duplicate.
How to Duplicate a Wix Website
Wix does not offer a one-click “duplicate website” button, but you can easily duplicate your site using the Save As feature in the dashboard.
To duplicate an entire Wix website:
- Go to your Wix dashboard.
- Click Site Actions on the right-hand menu.
- Select Duplicate Site.
- Give the copy a name and confirm.
How to Copy a Wix Website to a New Account
Transferring a Wix website to another user or account isn't supported directly, but there’s a workaround by inviting someone as a site collaborator.
To transfer access:
- Go to the site dashboard.
- Click Settings → Roles & Permissions.
- Click Invite People and add the new owner’s email.
- Assign them an appropriate role (e.g., Co-Owner).
Copying Elements in Wix Editor
Sometimes you just need to reuse specific sections or elements, like headers or pricing tables. You can do this manually inside the Wix Editor.
To clone elements or sections:
- Select the element or section you want to copy.
- Right-click and choose Copy.
- Navigate to another page or website tab.
- Right-click again and choose Paste.
Save a Page or Site as a Template
While Wix doesn’t offer an official “save as template” button for users, duplicating your site or page acts like creating your own custom template.
- Use duplicated websites to replicate Wix site for clients.
- Use duplicated pages as base templates for similar layouts.
- Reuse page sections by saving them as reusable strips or manually copying them.
Limitations to Keep in Mind
Although Wix supports duplication within the same account, some features may be limited across accounts or projects:
| Feature | Available? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Duplicate page in editor | Yes | Full layout and design are preserved |
| Duplicate full website | Yes | Use “Duplicate Site” from dashboard |
| Transfer site to another Wix account | Partially | Must invite as collaborator |
| Use saved templates | No official support | Workaround by duplicating and renaming |
Best Practices When Duplicating Wix Websites
To make the most of your duplicated websites or pages:
- Rename pages immediately to avoid confusion.
- Update internal links and menus after duplication.
- Check SEO settings (meta tags, descriptions, URLs) on duplicated content.
- Test on mobile after cloning to ensure responsiveness.
