Start with the problem
A Wix site is not a WordPress installation that can simply be copied to a different host. The migration needs a content inventory and a feature-by-feature rebuild plan. We separate a visual redesign from the content and functionality that must survive the change.
What the work can include
- Wix pages, media, metadata and important-URL inventory
- WordPress page structure and editable-layout planning
- Agreed text and media transfer with ownership checks
- Replacement forms, bookings or store features within scope
- Old-to-new URL mapping and redirect planning
- Mobile, inquiry and launch checks on the rebuilt site
Scope and boundaries
Wix applications, member accounts, order history, bookings and paid features are assessed individually. Equivalent behavior may require a different WordPress component, a license or a manual process. We do not promise a one-click transfer, an identical editor or automatic ranking preservation.
How the work proceeds
Inventory the Wix site
Review the pages, blog, products and business apps actually in use. Identify useful search landing pages and content that must remain available.
Design the replacement
Agree the WordPress structure, page layouts, feature replacements and editing workflow. Confirm content access, asset rights, license costs and exclusions.
Build and compare
Recreate the agreed website in staging. Compare the important pages, media, forms and navigation against the inventory, including smaller-screen layouts.
Approve and launch
Review redirects and domain/DNS arrangements, preserve email records, and launch after approval. Check the live inquiry journey and follow search discovery separately.
Decide what to keep before choosing a new theme
A rebuild is an opportunity to simplify confusing pages, but useful content should not disappear without review. Mark every existing URL as retained, redirected or intentionally retired. Agree which pages need copy improvements and which are a faithful transfer.
Bookings and stores need a separate acceptance list
For a service business, the key test may be a booking reaching the right calendar. For a store it may be variations, shipping and checkout. List those behaviors before selecting WordPress tools so a visually similar rebuild does not lose an essential business function.
Buyer questions
Can you transfer my Wix design exactly?
The design is recreated in WordPress within the agreed scope. Wix's proprietary site implementation is not a portable WordPress theme.
Can I keep my domain?
Often the existing domain can continue to be used, subject to account access and the agreed DNS plan. The website move and registrar transfer are different tasks.
Will my Wix apps move?
Each app needs assessment. Some features can use a WordPress alternative; others require separate development or a different workflow.
What affects the quote?
Page and content volume, custom layouts, apps, store or booking features, URL changes and content readiness determine the work.
