What is Velo?
Velo began in 2016 as "Wix Code", later renamed "Corvid" (2019), and later again rebranded as "Velo" (2021) due to sounding like Covid. Technically Velo is the ability to extend your Wix website's functionality using JavaScript. It includes the interface in which this code is managed and written as well as the unique syntax and API's necessary to interact with the Wix platform.
As of 2025 - Wix has announced it will be adding the option to use the JavaScript SDKs as an alternative to some Velo packages. Nonetheless, Velo remains a pillar of coding in Wix and the skills provided in the course are easily applicable to the JavaScript SDKs.
