Setting up IDX Broker to work with WIX is no small feat. :)

We are excited to have been able to get things working with Webb Real Estate.  

The biggest issue with WIX is that they don't let you add the HTML widgets to their site, so things get wonky on mobile.  Until WIX improves their HTML code, there isn't much that can be done.  

TRANSCRIPT OF VIDEO:

Today I just want to show Katie's website.  This is a WIX website and she wanted us to do an IDX Broker setup. 


If you know WIX, you know that it comes with a lot of unique applications when it comes to adding some code and editing the code, so we did some work arounds. To be able to load these IDX Broker widgets. And we were able to do that as if they were part of the website. 

As you can see, this is an IDX Broker widget and this is also and IDX Broker widget and they work just like they would on a different website like WordPress where we have more freedom to edit the code. We were able to do that inside WIX. 

On your dashboard you can move around everything according to your needs and design choices. This is the quick search widget, this is the slideshow widget, we also added a page for featured listings. This is also an IDX Broker widget. 

 It loads normally here and this is the IDX Broker side. We did this wrapper. And it loads pretty well, just like it is part of her website. And this is the property details. Everything loads normally and functions properly and loads pretty well, just like it is part of WIX. 


And it is really easy to edit too. I also wanted to show, real quick, the WIX editor. The WIX Editor is really great, everything is drag and drop and you can add a bunch of elements from here. When we did the setup we did it so you can easily move around everything.

  So if Katie decides to edit her site and move around these elements, she can. As if it were a simple WIX element.  As you can see, I can switch everything, I can choose a different page, and it is going to load like a little module, like a little WIX module. The only downside of doing this WIX hookup is that is really difficult to adjust it to mobile. 

 They load with these scroll bars. So the responsiveness of the site is a little compromised when you decide to use WIX. But other than that, it loads very well on desktops and large screens
