Wix Harmony Editor: Adding and Customizing Text

Text gives your site personality — welcoming visitors, sharing your story, and guiding them to take action. With the Wix Harmony Editor, it’s simple to add, customize, or remove text so your site always feels fresh and inviting. Clear, friendly words not only capture attention but also help people quickly understand what your business is all about.

Adding text to your site

Start by adding text elements that reflect your unique style. Choose from bold titles, clear paragraphs, running text (text marquee), and creative text combinations — everything you need to share your message your way.

To add text:

Go to your editor.
Click + Add at the top left of the editor.
Select Elements.
Click the Text icon
on the left.
Choose a text style:
- Titles: For headings and eye-catching headlines.
- Paragraphs: For longer pieces of text.
- Running Text: For small, flexible text areas (like captions or details).
- Text Combination: For creative text layouts with mixed styles.
Click or drag your chosen text style onto your page.
Double-click your new text box to add your words.
Customize the font, color, and style to match your site’s look.

How can I show long text without taking up too much space?

What is running text, and can I customize it?

Running text adds a line of words that smoothly scrolls across your page, ideal for announcements, promos, or anything you want to stand out. You can customize your running text by changing the direction, speed, font, color, and even adding a link, so it matches your site’s look and gets your message across.

Do text boxes in the editor have a character limit?

Text boxes don’t have a set character limit, but adding a very large amount of text can affect your site’s performance or design. For best results, keep each text box focus ed and easy to read.
