Moving from Wix usually means building a replacement website around the content and features your business needs. Check which content you can reuse, make sure you control your domain and plan where each existing page address will point. Build and test the new site before you switch, so enquiries keep arriving.
Planning a move from Wix starts with the reason you're moving. You may need clearer service pages, a different design, more control over your content, or tools such as bookings or a client area that your current setup doesn't provide.
Write those needs down before you choose the next platform or supplier. The move should give your business a more useful website, not recreate the same problems somewhere new.
Make a list of your important pages, images, downloads and contact routes, and check which content and images you own or have permission to reuse.
Find the account your domain is registered with, its renewal date and any email service connected to it. Changing your website shouldn't interrupt the web address or email address customers use to contact you.
Bookings, payments, forms, member areas and other tools each need their own plan. Decide which ones to keep, rebuild or replace with something different.
The public design is only one part of the move. The data behind these tools, the account access and the way your staff and customers use them matter just as much.
Each useful page address on your old site should either stay the same or redirect to the matching page on the new site. Update your internal links and sitemap at the same time.
Google's site-move guidance explains how to map old addresses to new ones, use permanent redirects and monitor the change afterwards. It's normal for search positions to move about for a while after a site move.
Build the new site, test every enquiry route and agree a date for the switch. Keep a record of the settings you change and the checks to run once the new site is live.
Our website migration page explains how a move from another platform works as part of MyDiro's website service, which includes ordinary domain transfer, DNS and email routing.
Usually, yes. It depends on where the domain is registered and whether you have access to that account, so check the transfer or DNS steps before changing anything.
No. A rebuild is a new website, so agree which content, features and design elements will carry over and which will be improved.
