Why move from Wix to WordPress?
Wix is a convenient place to start, but WordPress gives you more choice as your site grows: more hosting options, more integrations, and ownership of the site files and content. A migration does not have to mean rebuilding every page by hand.
Wigoh analyzes your public Wix site and creates a WordPress version in a separate preview environment. Your Wix site remains live while you review the new version.
What Wigoh brings across
- Page content, headings, and navigation structure
- Images and other publicly available media
- Colors, typography, spacing, and layout patterns
- Page titles, descriptions, and URL information where available
- Common forms and site functions, using WordPress equivalents when needed
- Blog content and page hierarchy where it is publicly accessible
Wix-specific apps cannot be copied directly into WordPress. Their purpose can usually be recreated with a WordPress plugin or an equivalent feature.
How the move works
- Share your Wix URL. Wigoh captures the site structure, content, screenshots, and design details.
- Review the WordPress preview. The site is built in an isolated WordPress environment while Wix stays unchanged.
- Request refinements. Describe changes in the AI editor or select an element in the preview.
- Launch when ready. Connect your domain only after you are happy with the new site.
Before you switch
Keep your Wix subscription and domain settings unchanged until the WordPress site has passed your review. Make a list of forms, bookings, analytics, email marketing, and other apps that need an equivalent setup.
For SEO, inventory your important URLs and confirm that titles, descriptions, canonical settings, and redirects are ready before changing DNS. See the SEO continuity guide for a practical checklist.
Wix migration checklist
- Confirm the source site URL and key pages
- Review the WordPress preview on desktop and mobile
- Test forms, buttons, menus, and external links
- Check image quality and text content
- Verify important URLs and SEO metadata
- Point the domain to WordPress only after approval
- Keep the Wix site available until the cutover is complete
Your current Wix site stays live during the build. You decide when the new WordPress site is ready to replace it.
