Wix Book Brainstorming

Hi Wix Community!

This is Jo Kurino of Elitus Design in Japan. I hope everyone is doing well!

I am currently in the process of finalizing a book publishing deal with a publisher that is headquartered in the UK. The book’s theme is Wix and the primary theme is to produce a book for Any user that is looking to building their own website from scratch without any coding. A second theme is to provide essential information for people that interested in becoming a web marketer and/or web designer.

There are many things that I want to talk about regarding Wix, but I want to first start with an Introduction Wix and my journey with Wix since I met the Japan project team in 2013. I am thinking about showcasing some tools, vertical apps, and explaining how to design a website (still thinking what type of website would be interesting). Additionally, I want to talk more about partner tips and tricks, the possibilities of what can be made with Wix, SEO, web marketing tips, and the future of web design using Wix.

Towards the end of the book, I want to provide introductions for Velo, Editor X, Playground, and other known Wix projects so we can use them as a prelude to introducing other editions of books for the future.

If I agree to terms, the project no later than the beginning of April, and it will be a 6-9 month project.

Pages are expected to be around 150-250 pages.
Video content will also be available. The videos will be focused on screenshots, perhaps designing other types of websites (restaurants, eCommerce store, etc.)

With that said, I contacted @brett and few other folks in the Wix office because I wanted to get the Community involved and share this experience. And Brett is absolutely excited about it.

I have a general idea of how the outline of the book may go, but I also want input from you , my fellow Wix Partners, for ideas and themes this book should include. If I can get insight. I’d be sure to add contributors in the ‘Thank You’ section of the book.

Some of my weaknesses included the latest in SEO and coding. Never been a coder…smh
I won’t talk in-depth about Velo yet, but I do want to introduce it in the book.

I would love it if those that are interested, share their tips & tricks using the Wix Editor. People that can share some tips for web marketing. The primary aim is to narrow down what would go in this book, but I think this thread may turn interesting as everyone shares their knowledge.

If the publisher allows me to write new editions in the future, or allow me to produce a book that covers other parts of Wix (Velo, Editor X, etc.), I’d gladly introduce impactful partners to work together on the spinoff books. If all goes well, the publisher has said that they want to do spin-offs, not to mention create editions in different languages (hint, hint). I will most likely produce the Japanese version since I am writing this edition anyways.

I look forward to synergizing with you all!

Jo
