Moving off Wix

Migrate from Wix without losing what Google knows

Your Wix website is slow, Google does not show it, or you no longer want to pay the platform every month. We rebuild it as a fast website that you own, on the same domain name, keeping the addresses Google already knows.

What a careless migration loses

Google knows the addresses of your pages. If they vanish overnight, visitors who come from Google land on an error, and the pages lose their place. A careful migration sends each old address to the new page that matches it: a 301 redirect.

A domain managed at Wix often carries your email as well. Before changing anything, we list what depends on it, so that your email keeps arriving.

Keeping your Google rankings

  1. The list of your website’s old addresses.
  2. A redirect from each old address to its new page, tested before launch.
  3. A check in Google Search Console two weeks after launch.

Moving your domain name or your mail server is not part of it: that is a separate step, which we prepare with you.

A new website replacing an old one, text written by us: €1,250 excl. VAT. See the prices.

The Bati-Charpente example

Bati-Charpente, a timber framing and carpentry company east of Paris, had a Wix website. Of its 66 old addresses, 59 were redirected to a new page and tested; the other 7 were already dead. The new website has been live since 7 October 2026.

From the first week, the calls were better targeted than with the old website. The Bati-Charpente case study.

Your domain stays yours

If your domain name was bought from Wix, it is transferred to an account in your name; if it was bought elsewhere, it only needs to point to the new website. Either way, your website address does not change.

You cancel Wix once the new website is live, not before.

Frequently asked questions

Can I export or download my Wix website?

Not the website itself: Wix states that a Wix site cannot be hosted elsewhere, as it depends on Wix services. What moves is the domain name, with a transfer code Wix sends to its owner. Text and photos are carried over by hand. So a migration rebuilds the website from scratch, but keeps your domain and your addresses.

Why is my Wix website not showing on Google?

The most common causes have nothing to do with Wix: a recent site Google has not crawled yet, page titles that name neither the trade nor the place, little text about what you do. The first check is in Google Search Console, which is free and tells you which pages Google knows. If the website has to be rebuilt anyway, the rebuild fixes these points at once.

Why is my Wix website slow?

It depends on the site, and it can be measured: paste its address into PageSpeed Insights, Google's free tool, and look at the mobile result. The websites we deliver are measured the same way before launch.

Is Wix good for SEO?

Wix lets you set titles, descriptions and redirects, and plenty of Wix sites are found on Google. It suits you if you want to build and edit the site yourself: you pay a subscription and the site stays on the platform. A custom website is paid once, belongs to you and can move wherever you like; in return, changes go through us or through someone of your choice.

What happens to my Wix site and domain when I cancel?

Cancel Wix only once the new website is live. If your domain was bought from Wix, transfer it to an account in your name first; if it was bought elsewhere, it only needs to point to the new website. Either way, your website address does not change.
