  3. A dialog box will open, asking you to enter the HTML code you want to add to your site.

/* Your CSS code goes here */
</style>
  1. Paste your CSS code between the <style> tags and click “Apply” to add it to your website.

Method 3: Using the Wix Corvid Editor

If you are comfortable with coding and want more control over your website’s design and functionality, you can use the Wix Corvid editor. Corvid is a development platform that allows you to build custom applications and add advanced features to your Wix site using JavaScript and other web development technologies.

  1. To use the Corvid editor, you will need to activate it in your Wix account. Once it is activated, you can access the Corvid editor by clicking on the “Dev Mode” button in the top menu of the Wix editor.
  2. In the Corvid editor, you can add custom CSS to your website by creating a CSS file and linking to it in the HTML of your site. Here’s how to do it:
  3. In the Corvid editor, click on the “Files” tab in the left panel.
  4. Click on the “New File” button and select “CSS” from the dropdown menu.
  5. A new CSS file will be created. You can add your custom CSS code to this file by clicking on it and typing or pasting your code into the editor.
  6. To apply the CSS to your website, you will need to link to the CSS file in the HTML of your site. To do this, go to the “Pages” tab in the left panel and click on the page you want to add the CSS to.
  7. In the page editor, click on the “HTML” tab in the top menu.
  8. Add a <link> tag to the head of the HTML file, pointing to the CSS file you created. For example:
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/files/
PRO TIP: While it is possible to add CSS in Wix, it is not recommended as it can cause problems with the code of your website. Adding CSS can also make your site more difficult to update and manage.
