Wix → WordPress migration

Leave Wix without throwing away what already works.

Your working Wix website cannot simply be downloaded and uploaded to ordinary WordPress hosting. If moving is the right decision, we build the WordPress replacement properly, preserve the useful content and search signals, and keep the Wix site live until the new one is ready.

Important:A Wix site depends on Wix infrastructure. Moving to WordPress normally means building a replacement site, not downloading the finished Wix website and hosting it elsewhere.
Why businesses leave Wix

Move because WordPress solves something — not because somebody told you Wix is “bad”.

Wix can be perfectly suitable for many businesses. These are the situations where a different platform may genuinely be worth considering.

01

You want hosting choice

You want the freedom to choose or change WordPress hosting rather than keeping the website tied to one hosted platform.

02

You need custom functionality

The business now needs integrations, data flows or functionality that are awkward to achieve within the current Wix setup.

03

You want more developer choice

You would rather have a wider market of WordPress designers and developers available to work on the website.

04

Content is getting bigger

The site is growing into a larger SEO, content or location-page project and you want a structure designed around that growth.

05

You want clearer portability

You want the next website arrangement to make hosting, backups and future provider changes easier to understand.

06

The site needs a wider rethink

The Wix website is no longer matching the business and a replacement platform is part of a broader redesign or development project.

What can we keep?

The Wix website is the starting point, not something we casually discard.

Before we build anything, we inventory the current website so we know what customers and Google already use. That allows the new WordPress site to keep the useful parts and improve the weak ones.

Keep / reuse
  • Business copy and service information
  • Branding, colours and design direction
  • Images and media we can properly recover
  • The domain name
  • Existing page structure where it still makes sense
  • Useful URLs and search metadata
  • Analytics and tracking IDs where available
Rebuild / replace
  • Wix page layouts and components
  • Wix forms and app-specific features
  • Booking, membership or store functionality where applicable
  • Animations or interactions tied to Wix
  • Platform-specific integrations
  • Anything we identify as a genuine weakness
Wix SEO migration

Do not rebuild 40 pages and then discover the URLs changed by accident.

Before the domain points at WordPress, we document the existing site and map the search signals that should survive the move.

01

Crawl the Wix site

Record existing pages, URLs, titles, headings, internal links and indexable content.

02

Keep URLs where sensible

If an existing address is useful and clean, there is often no reason to change it.

03

Redirect changes

Where URLs do change, map proper 301 redirects rather than leaving dead links behind.

04

Carry over tracking

Analytics, Search Console and conversion tracking are identified before launch.

05

Check technical SEO

Canonicals, sitemap, robots settings, metadata and schema are reviewed on WordPress.

06

Monitor after switch

Crawl the new site, check redirects and watch for indexing or page errors after launch.

What should the new site look like?

Leaving Wix does not force a redesign.

01

Recreate the familiar look

If the website looks good and customers recognise it, we can use the current design as the visual brief for WordPress.

02

Keep the brand, improve the site

Preserve what feels familiar while improving mobile layout, conversion, navigation, speed and technical structure.

03

Start fresh

If the Wix site is part of the problem, use the project to create a properly considered replacement instead of reproducing its weaknesses.

How a Wix → WordPress project works

The Wix site stays available while the replacement is created.

1

Audit Wix

Pages, blog, forms, apps, store features, URLs and tracking are inventoried.

2

Agree the brief

Decide what stays familiar, what improves and what functionality WordPress needs.

3

Build WordPress

Create the replacement away from the live Wix site.

4

Migrate content

Recreate or transfer the useful text, media and data using the route that actually works for that site.

5

Map URLs & SEO

Preserve useful addresses and create redirects for deliberate changes.

6

Test everything

Forms, mobile layouts, tracking, functionality and important pages are checked.

7

Point the domain

DNS changes only after the new WordPress website is ready.

8

Monitor launch

Check the live site, redirects, indexing and errors before the old Wix plan is cancelled.

Pricing & hosting

A Wix-to-WordPress rebuild is quoted as a new website project.

If we are creating the website again in WordPress, we price the work honestly according to the number of pages, content, design, functionality, integrations and SEO migration involved.

Once moved, a normal business/service WordPress website can use our hosting from £149.99/year or £18.99/month, including standard update management. More complex and eCommerce sites are matched to the appropriate hosting.

Questions

Wix to WordPress FAQs

Can you transfer my Wix website directly into WordPress?

Not as a complete working one-click transfer. Wix sites depend on Wix infrastructure, so the practical route is normally to build a WordPress replacement and migrate or recreate the useful content and functionality.

Can I keep the same design when moving from Wix to WordPress?

Yes, if the current design still works for the business. We can keep it familiar, improve weak areas while preserving the brand, or use the project for a complete redesign.

Can I keep my domain name?

Yes in normal circumstances. The domain can stay with its current registrar or be transferred separately. We map the DNS and email setup before changing where the website points.

Will my Wix website stay online during the rebuild?

Normally, yes. We build and test WordPress separately and leave the existing Wix site live until the replacement is ready for the domain switch.

What happens to Wix apps, forms and bookings?

We inventory them before quoting the replacement. Some features need WordPress plugins, custom development or a different third-party service rather than a direct transfer.

What happens to my Wix blog?

Wix does not currently provide a general export of Wix Blog posts to other platforms. We therefore inspect the size and structure of the blog and plan the safest practical recovery or recreation route before the old site is cancelled.

Will moving from Wix to WordPress damage my Google rankings?

Any major website change can affect search performance, but avoidable losses usually come from missing URLs, redirects, content, metadata or launch checks. We document those items before the switch and monitor the replacement afterwards.

Is Wix bad for SEO?

No. We do not recommend moving simply because a site uses Wix. The question is whether the current platform, structure or workflow is genuinely limiting the business. If Wix is still doing the job, we will say so.

Show us the Wix site

We can inspect it before the call.

Give us the website address, what you want WordPress to improve and whether you want to keep the existing design. We can then look at the size and structure of the Wix site before we speak.
