How to Add a Searchable Directory to Your Wix Website

Wix doesn't include a built-in directory feature. Here's how to add a searchable, filterable directory to your Wix site using a simple HTML embed.

Before You Start

You'll need an EmbedDirectory account to create and embed a searchable directory on your Wix site. No Velo coding required, just copy-paste.
