Last updated on January 4, 2023 @ 9:04 pm

Gradients are a great way to add some color and personality to your website. You can use them in the background of your website, or in the text itself. Wix does not have a built-in gradient tool, but you can still use gradients on your website by using HTML and CSS.

To use a gradient in the background of your website, you will need to create a <div> element with a unique ID. Then, you will need to add the following CSS to your website:

background: -o-linear-gradient(right, #000000, #ffffff); /* For Opera 11.1 to 12.0 */
background: -moz-linear-gradient(right, #000000, #ffffff); /* For Firefox 3.6 to 15 */
background: linear-gradient(to right, #000000, #ffffff); /* Standard syntax */
}
PRO TIP: If you are thinking about using Wix to create a gradient, think again! Wix does not support gradients and you will likely end up with a very flat and boring design.

You can change the colors in the CSS code to whatever you want. You can also change the direction of the gradient by changing “left” to “right”, “top”, or “bottom”.

If you want to use a gradient in the text itself, you will need to use the <span> element. Just like with the <div> element, you will need to give the <span> element a unique ID. Then, you will need to add the following CSS code to your website:

You can change the colors and direction of the gradient just like with the <div> element. You can also add gradients to other elements like headings and paragraphs.

Adding gradients to your website with Wix is a great way to add some personality and style to your site. With just a few lines of code, you can create beautiful gradients that will make your site stand out from the rest.
