Stand out for the work you're already doing in Wix Studio. Studio certifications recognize creators who consistently deliver high-quality, professional sites using the full power of Wix Studio.
There are no forms to fill out or tests to take to qualify — just your work speaking for itself. Each month, we review premium sites and Blocks apps built in Wix Studio and certify top creators. Certified creators get badges, points, and exclusive perks through the Studio League.
