Wix to WordPress migration
LEAVE WIX WITHOUT LOSING YOUR RANKINGS OR YOUR DESIGN
Wix has no clean export. We move you anyway. Every page, blog post, image, and indexed URL comes across, on infrastructure you actually own.
Migration risk check
Question 1 of 3
What are you moving from?
The starting point sets what usually breaks and how careful the redirect map has to be.
The short answer
A Wix to WordPress migration moves your entire site off Wix onto self hosted WordPress. Wix has no clean export button, so we extract content with a full site crawler and the Wix Blog RSS feed, then rebuild the design in a fast WordPress theme. Every indexed URL gets a single clean 301, so Google keeps sending traffic. Standard sites start at $1,499. Sites with stores, bookings, or memberships start at $2,999. Fixed quote, written SEO safety plan, 30 day rollback window.
Why owners leave Wix
Wix is easy to start on and hard to grow on. Somewhere between the third add on and the second SEO consultant, the platform starts costing more than it gives back.
There is no clean export
Wix has no proper export button. Content has to be extracted with a scraper or the Wix Blog RSS feed, then rebuilt manually. This is why most owners get stuck.
SEO is capped by the platform
Slow render, forced URL patterns, limited schema control, and heavy scripts hold Wix sites back in Google. WordPress removes the ceiling.
Every feature is a monthly add on
Bookings, memberships, ecommerce, forms. Each one bumps the Wix bill. WordPress ships equivalents at one time or open source cost.
You cannot leave without rebuilding
Wix is designed so leaving is expensive. That is exactly why we built a repeatable Wix to WordPress process.
What actually moves across
Not a copy paste. A structured rebuild that keeps data types, URLs, and visitor experience intact.
Every page and section
Wix pages rebuilt in WordPress with matching layout, headings, and content. Visitors see the same site, on infrastructure you own.
Blog posts, authors, categories
Posts imported as native WordPress posts with author, date, tags, and categories preserved. No Wix lock in.
Images and media library
Images pulled from Wix's CDN, re-uploaded to WordPress media, and re-linked inside every post and page.
Contact and lead forms
Wix Forms rebuilt in Gravity Forms or Fluent Forms. Notifications, autoresponders, and CRM integrations rewired.
Clean 301 for every old URL
Wix uses ugly /post/name-of-post patterns. We map each one to a clean WordPress permalink with a single permanent 301.
Domain, email, DNS
Domain stays yours. Email (Google Workspace, Wix mail, whatever) keeps working through the whole cutover.
SEO safety, in six locked steps
Ranking loss is the number one fear owners raise. Every Wix to WordPress move we run passes through these six checkpoints before it goes live.
Full URL map before we touch anything
We crawl the live Wix site, export every indexed URL from Search Console, and match each to its WordPress destination.
One clean 301 per URL, no chains
Every /post/, /page/, and product URL gets a single permanent redirect. No 302s, no loops, no soft 404s.
Canonicals, sitemaps, and robots re-checked
Canonical tags, sitemap.xml, robots.txt, and schema are re-audited on WordPress so Google sees consistent signals from day one.
Search Console + Bing warmed on the new stack
We resubmit sitemaps, request indexing on top pages, and monitor coverage for 30 days.
Ranking baseline, then 30 day comparison
Top 100 keywords snapshotted the day before cutover and compared weekly for a month. Written report at day 30.
No ranking loss guarantee, in writing
If organic traffic falls more than 10 percent inside 30 days from causes we control, we roll back or refund.
How we run it
- 1
Audit and extract
We crawl every Wix page, pull the blog RSS, and export product data. Nothing is left to chance because Wix's export is broken.
- 2
Stage WordPress privately
New site built on staging with a matching theme (usually Blocksy, Kadence, or GeneratePress). Content imported and cleaned.
- 3
Rebuild what Wix hides
Booking pages, member areas, custom code, and forms are rebuilt cleanly in WordPress equivalents.
- 4
SEO safety pass
URL map validated, 301s tested, sitemaps and robots re-audited, schema verified.
- 5
Cutover with rollback ready
DNS switch during your quietest hour. Wix stays paid for 30 days so a rollback is one click away.
- 6
30 day watch
We monitor coverage, rankings, forms, and errors for a month after cutover.

Common questions
Wix has no export, how do you move a site off it?+
Correct, Wix has no clean export. We use a combination of a full site crawler, the Wix Blog RSS feed, and manual page rebuilds. The output is the same as any other migration: a WordPress site that looks and behaves like your Wix site, on infrastructure you own.
Will my Google rankings survive?+
Yes. Every indexed Wix URL gets a single clean 301 to its WordPress equivalent. Canonicals, sitemaps, and schema are re-audited on the new stack. Every quote includes a written no ranking loss guarantee.
Will my design change?+
Not visibly. We rebuild the Wix design in a WordPress theme so visitors see the same layout, fonts, and colors. Under the hood you now own every file, every plugin, and every setting.
What about my Wix Store or Bookings?+
Wix Store products move to WooCommerce. Wix Bookings moves to Amelia or WP Simple Booking Calendar depending on your setup. Customer accounts move with a secure password reset flow.
Can I keep the same domain?+
Yes. Domain stays yours. If it was registered through Wix we transfer it out or update nameservers, whichever is faster. Email keeps working through the whole move.
How long does the move take?+
Typical Wix to WordPress migration takes 2 to 3 weeks depending on page count, blog size, and custom features. Timeline is agreed in writing before we start.
How much does it cost?+
Wix to WordPress migrations start at $1,499 for a standard content or brochure site and $2,999 for a site with a store, bookings, or memberships. Fixed quote, no hourly surprises.
