Wix Groups: Creating a New Group
Create places for members with shared interests to connect. You can personalize each group and build a more engaged community on your site. For example, if you run a fitness blog, you can create a “Health and Wellness” group. Members can share tips, ask questions, and support each other on their wellness journey.
