Send a Claude Design directly to Wix and publish it as a live site. Wix hosts your site and connects it to Wix business solutions such as Stores, Bookings, and the CMS. You can manage your business from the Wix dashboard with no code required, and continue updating the site's design in Claude Design or a different AI agent of your choice.
This is a Wix-managed headless setup, started from Claude Design instead of the CLI. Your design is deployed like any other frontend you bring yourself.
Connect the Wix Connector to your Claude environment (you only need to do this once): in Claude Design, click Share > the Send to tab > Add a destination > Wix.
Build your design as a single page. Send to Wix deploys only one HTML page, so if your design has multiple pages, the extra pages aren't included. Ask Claude for a single-page site with in-page navigation between sections.
At the top right, click Share and select the Send to tab.
Select Send to Wix. This publishes your site. It also creates a wix.config.json file, uploads and hosts your files with SSL, CDN, and business APIs configured.
Wait for the process to complete.
In the Claude Design chat, click the Open in Wix link. A success page opens.
From the success page, you can:
Visit the live site.
Connect a custom domain.
Connect and manage your site. This is required to complete setup. See Step 2 below.
Open your Wix dashboard, where you can manage your business and access your site's tools and information.
Your site is now live, but it isn't fully set up. You must complete your setup by following Step 2 below.
Before or after completing the setup for your site, you can:
In the Wix dashboard: Manage store products, appointment bookings, blog posts, forms, members, and more, without any code required.
To finish setup, you need the project on your machine, including the generated wix.config.json file that connects your frontend to Wix APIs. You also need to set up authentication.
If you are not a developer, an AI coding agent can handle this for you.
Important: Wix hosts and runs your site, but it doesn't handle authentication for you. You create a Wix client and set up authentication yourself, the same as for self-managed headless. Automatic authentication and extensions are available only with Wix's Astro integration.
After your site is live, keep building in the ways that fit how you work:
Manage business data in the Wix dashboard. Add and update store products, booking services, blog posts, forms, members, and more directly from your project dashboard. No code required.
Keep iterating on the design in Claude Design. Before you publish the site yourself, Send to Wix updates your existing live site. After you publish with the CLI or an AI coding agent, it creates a new site instead, so you export the design and hand it to your agent. See Sync Design Changes from Claude Design.
Keep building with an AI coding agent. Ask your agent to use the Wix Headless skill when you want to add Wix features such as a store, bookings, or a blog, or to change how your site works. For more information, see the Headless AI Toolkit.
Your site went live when you sent it to Wix in Step 1. You only need to republish when you change the site's design or code. Changes you make in the dashboard, such as adding store products or blog posts, appear on the live site automatically and don't require a republish.
How you republish depends on how you work:
With an AI coding agent: Ask your agent to publish your site. For example: "Publish my site" or "Release my latest changes." The agent runs the publish command for you.
With the CLI: Run npx wix preview to test locally, then npx wix release to publish. Global commands like npx wix login are also available. These are currently the only CLI commands available for this kind of project. See the CLI command reference.
From Claude Design: If you haven't yet published with the CLI or an AI coding agent, send an updated design from Claude Design to update the live site. See Step 3.
