I am not much of a designer. I want to know how I can create Wix like buttons in Photoshop.

They offer many kinds of buttons, but I want the one with a shadow on both sides of its bottom. Any help would be appreciated.

Check this amazing tutorial Alternative Drop Shadow Effects in Photoshop on YouTube. I believe you can make something very similar after watching this.

Anymore, with the continued proliferation and support for Cascading Style Sheets rev. 3, you can simply create the shadow with CSS:

This is a common question but usually for code. To create this in Photoshop:


New layer in Photoshop





Draw rectangle slightly smaller below
Fill with black





Filter>Gaussian Blur
radius around 5-7 pixels, play with the settings





Edit > Transform > Warp





Drop opacity around 20%

Code

Personally if it is going to be within a site I would code it. To learn how to code it you can review stack's answer here. A drop shadow generator here and another option here.

EDIT:
After looking at your example be aware that is done twice. The layer is with an opacity of around 80-90% and warped closer to the edge and then duplicated with a wider shadow changed to around 15-20% and stretched.

It is very likely that the person used a 3D software tool or the rudimentary 3D tools in Photoshop to create the shadow.

However, this particular example can be made by duplicating the blue shape layer, creating a drop shadow on the duplicate, setting the fill to 0%, rendering the layer, and using the warp tool to adjust the shadow shape. The shadow layer would be placed under the blue shape layer.

The image you've given looks like it has a black line that has an opacity filter set against it so that it partly shows. You could create this by carefully aligning a curved line with the bottom of the button.
