Make Click Targets Large in Wix

  1. Open your site in the Wix Editor and navigate to the page containing buttons, links, icons, or other interactive elements.
  2. Select the first interactive element on the canvas (button, menu item, icon, image acting as a link, etc.).
  3. In the right-hand panel, click Layout or Design depending on the element type.
  4. Increase the element’s size or padding so the total clickable area is at least 44px × 44px:
    • For buttons: adjust Padding (top/bottom/left/right) until the height and width meet the minimum size.
    • For link text: increase Padding around the text via the Layout panel.
    • For icons: wrap the icon in a Box or Button if necessary and enlarge the container.
  5. If the element is an image that acts as a link:
    • Select the image → Layout.
    • Increase the image size or add internal padding via a container box.
  6. Review the navigation menu:
    • Select the menu → Customize Design.
    • Increase vertical padding so each menu item reaches the 44px height guideline.
  7. Check custom mobile menus:
    • Switch to Mobile view.
    • Select the hamburger icon → expand its container size so it exceeds 44px × 44px.
    • Open the mobile menu and adjust padding on menu items for comfortable tapping.
  8. For icon-based triggers (e.g., close icons, arrows, tabs):
    • Select the element → wrap it in a Box if needed.
    • Resize the box to increase the interactive area without distorting the icon.
  9. Switch to each breakpoint (Desktop, Tablet, Mobile) and ensure click targets remain large enough on all layouts. Adjust padding or spacing per device if necessary.
  10. Click Preview and test by hovering or clicking elements to ensure they are easy to activate without precision.
  11. Publish your site and test on an actual mobile device to confirm all interactive elements feel comfortably tappable.
