How to Create a Landing Page on Existing Wix Website Easily 2026

By Impran M NLast checked against official docs

You don't need a second Wix account or a whole new build to run a focused campaign page. You can add one directly inside your existing site.

Wix's page-creation dialog has a dedicated Landing Page category alongside About, Contact, and other page types, so you start from a purpose-built layout instead of repurposing a page meant for something else. This guide covers adding that page, what its built-in category is designed for, and turning the placeholder content into your real campaign copy.

01Open your existing site in the editor

Open the Wix Editor for the site you already have live. Your regular navigation, Home, About, Contact, Blog, and whatever else you've built, sits across the top, and that's exactly the navigation a standalone landing page is meant to sit apart from. Anything you add here starts life as part of the same site and menu structure by default, which is why the later steps exist to deliberately separate it.

02Open Pages & Menu and start a new page

Click Pages & Menu on the left side of the editor, then Add Page (or +Add Menu Item, then New Page, depending on your editor version) to open the page-creation dialog. Categories run down the left: About, Services, Projects, Contact, and under General, a dedicated Landing Page category sits next to options like 404 Error Page.

Its templates are built around specific uses like "Coming Soon" and "Down for Maintenance" pages, not a generic marketing layout. That still works for a campaign page: pick whichever thumbnail's section structure fits, since every heading, image, and paragraph on it is fully replaceable in the next step.

03Let Wix build the page and load its content

After picking a layout, Wix shows a short "Adding Your Page" progress dialog while it prepares the content behind the scenes. Once it finishes, you land on the new page fully populated with placeholder sections: headings, body paragraphs, and images already positioned, so you edit existing structure instead of building sections one at a time from an empty canvas.

04Replace the placeholder copy with your campaign content

Click into any text element to edit it directly. The editor's selection toolbar surfaces Edit Text alongside Generate Text with AI, a fast way to draft a first pass of headline or body copy if you're starting from an idea instead of a finished script. Work through each section, replacing placeholder headings like "Vision" and their filler paragraphs with your actual offer, benefit statements, or campaign details.

A campaign page usually converts better without your full site menu pulling visitors away mid-funnel. Click the More Actions icon next to the page in your pages list, choose Settings, open the Layouts tab, and select No Header & Footer.

Wix's own guidance for landing pages recommends this specifically, so visitors focus on the page's message instead of browsing elsewhere. Do this deliberately: without a header, there's no way back to the rest of your site, so make sure your call-to-action button, or a linked logo, does that job instead.

06Set the URL, keep it off the main menu, then preview and publish

Rename the page's URL slug to something short and specific to the campaign, and remove it from the visible menu if you don't want it competing with Home and About in your regular navigation. It stays reachable through whichever link you choose to share, in an ad, an email, or a post. Toggle mobile view to confirm your edited sections still read cleanly on a smaller screen, since ad and social traffic often arrives on mobile first, then run Preview and click through as a visitor would before you publish.

When it doesn't work

The page you built looks like a "Coming Soon" placeholder instead of a campaign page

Why: Wix's built-in Landing Page category templates are designed around Coming Soon and Down for Maintenance use cases, not general marketing pages.

Fix: Treat the template as a section-layout starting point only, and replace every heading, image, and paragraph with your own campaign content.

Visitors can still click through to the rest of your site from the landing page

Why: The header and footer are still visible on that page.

Fix: Open More Actions, then Settings, then the Layouts tab, and choose No Header & Footer for that specific page.

The landing page still shows up in the main site menu

Why: New pages are added to the visible menu by default.

Fix: Remove it from the menu in Pages & Menu while leaving the page itself live at its URL.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Will visitors see my site's regular navigation menu on this page?

Not if you hide the header and footer for that page: More Actions, Settings, the Layouts tab, then No Header & Footer.

Can I set a custom URL for the landing page?

Yes, you can rename the page's URL slug independently to match your campaign name or the link you're sharing in ads or emails.

Does Wix have a page layout built specifically for landing pages?

Yes, under General. Its templates lean toward Coming Soon and Down for Maintenance pages, not generic campaign layouts, but any of them works as a section-layout starting point since the content is fully editable.

Can I use AI to help write the landing page copy?

Yes, the text editing toolbar includes a Generate Text with AI option alongside the standard Edit Text option, useful for drafting a first pass of headline or body copy.

Should I add SEO metadata to a landing page?

Yes, setting distinct SEO metadata for the page helps you track and index the campaign separately from the rest of your site.

Sources and last check

Click path and screens come from a walkthrough recorded in 2025. Re-checked against Wix's own support articles in September 2026: the built-in Landing Page category's templates are geared toward Coming Soon and Down for Maintenance pages, not general campaign layouts, which the original draft implied without saying. The exact path for hiding the header and footer is More Actions, Settings, the Layouts tab, then No Header & Footer. The original draft's vaguer "Page Settings" no longer matches the current editor.
