Switching from Wix to WordPress: Why and How?

Wix makes it easy to start a website. As a business grows, many owners find the same limits: fewer ways to customise, restricted SEO control and costs that climb with every add-on. WordPress removes most of those limits, and moving is simpler than most owners expect.

Why businesses switch

• Customisation. WordPress themes and page builders give you far more layout freedom than a hosted builder.
• SEO control. You can edit titles, descriptions, redirects and sitemaps directly.
• Room to grow. A blog, online shop or membership area can be added without changing platform.
• Cost. Hosting on WordPress can be far cheaper than a builder plan once apps are included.

How a Wix to WordPress move works

1. We review your Wix site and list every page, post and form.
2. We set up WordPress and rebuild the design on a fast, mobile-friendly theme.
3. We move your content and images and keep your page addresses wherever possible.
4. We add 301 redirects for any address that changes, then update your sitemap.
5. We test everything and switch the domain once the new site is ready.

Mistakes to avoid

• Cancelling Wix before the redirects and DNS switch are finished.
• Forgetting to rebuild forms and email notifications.
• Changing page addresses without redirects, which drops rankings.
• Skipping mobile and speed checks before launch.

Is it worth doing?

If your site is a simple brochure that never changes, staying on Wix may be fine. If you want more control, more features or lower running costs, WordPress is usually the better long-term home.

Frequently asked questions

Will my Wix site look the same?

We rebuild the design on WordPress, so it will look like your site, though some Wix-only effects may be simplified for speed and clarity.

How long does it take?

Most small business sites are live within 3 to 5 days after the plan is agreed.
