Use Legible Text Sizes in Wix

  1. Open your site in the Wix Editor and navigate to the page containing the text elements you want to review.
  2. Select a text element on the canvas (paragraph, heading, button label, menu item, or form text).
  3. In the floating text toolbar or right-hand panel, click Edit Text to open full typography controls.
  4. Check the Font Size setting:
    • Ensure body text is at least 16px.
    • Headings should scale clearly above body text (e.g., H1: 32–48px, H2: 24–32px, H3: 18–24px).
    • Button text and navigation labels should be at least 14–16px.
  5. Adjust the font size by typing a new value or using the size slider until the text becomes comfortable to read.
  6. Review Line Spacing (line height):
    • Set paragraph text between 1.4–1.6 for readability.
    • Headings can use slightly tighter spacing.
  7. Check character spacing under Advanced settings and ensure it remains normal unless design style requires minor adjustments.
  8. If the text uses a global theme style (e.g., Paragraph Theme, Heading Theme):
    • Click Apply to Theme or adjust the theme settings directly.
    • This updates text sizes consistently across the entire site.
  9. Switch to Mobile view using the top device selector.
  10. Select text elements again and adjust mobile-specific text sizes:
    • Body text should remain at least 14–16px.
    • Headings may be reduced slightly for small screens but must stay readable.
  11. Check buttons, menu items, and form labels in mobile view to ensure none reduce below 14px. Increase text size or adjust padding to maintain readability.
  12. Click Preview and scroll through the page to confirm text size hierarchy feels balanced and readable across all sections.
  13. Publish your site and review it on an actual phone or tablet to ensure real-world legibility for all text elements.
