Scalability
Each page is designed on its own canvas. With dozens or hundreds of pages, keeping layouts, spacing and styles consistent takes more and more effort.
Shared templates keep every page consistent automatically.
Ready for more control than Wix?
Move from Wix to a custom website with the structure, integrations and control to grow.
Wix makes it easy to get online fast. Drag-and-drop editing, an app market and built-in hosting help a lot of organizations launch their first website without a developer.
As your organization grows, so does your website: more pages, more programs, more people editing and more systems to connect. That is often when teams start looking for stronger structure and more control than a drag-and-drop canvas was designed to provide.
Wondering if you have outgrown Wix? Let’s talk it through.
Talk About Your WebsiteWhy organizations move from Wix
Wix’s flexibility is a strength at the start. As a site grows, many teams find they need more structure, more custom development and more control.
Each page is designed on its own canvas. With dozens or hundreds of pages, keeping layouts, spacing and styles consistent takes more and more effort.
Shared templates keep every page consistent automatically.
Programs, resources, staff profiles and events work best as structured content that can be reused, filtered and searched across the site.
We model your content so it can be organized many ways.
App market add-ons cover common needs, but features specific to your organization are harder to build and maintain inside the platform.
We build exactly what your programs need.
A Wix site lives on Wix. The site itself cannot be exported as code and hosted somewhere else.
A custom site can be set up so you own the code and choose where it runs.
What a custom website provides instead
A custom website is built on a clear content structure: programs, events, people and resources are entered once and appear wherever they belong, in a consistent design.
That structure makes it easier to add new pages, search and filter content, and connect your website to the other systems your organization relies on.
Where it fits the project, your organization owns the domain, hosting accounts and source code, and can move them in the future.
Is moving right for you?

What the Wix migration covers
Your existing website stays live while your new one is built. Here is what we take care of along the way.
Wix does not offer a full-site export, so we carefully move your page content, blog posts, images and files, and restructure them into reusable content types along the way.
We map your current Wix URLs, including blog post links and older auto-generated page addresses, to their new locations so rankings and bookmarks are protected.
Wix Forms, bookings, stores and member areas are rebuilt or connected to the tools you use, and tested before launch.
We design and build to WCAG 2.2 AA standards with consistent headings, structure and keyboard navigation across every page.
Your team learns how to add and update structured content, which is usually faster than designing each page by hand.
We move your domain or point it to the new site, monitor search and analytics after launch, and stay available for questions.
Your organization can own the source code, domain and hosting accounts, so the website is never locked to one provider.
How it works
See how this fits our overall approach on our website migration page.
We walk through your pages, apps, forms, integrations and analytics, and note what is working well.
We decide which content types you need and how they connect across the site.
We create shared templates and build the custom features your organization needs.
Pages, posts and media move into the new structure, cleaned up along the way.
Every form, booking and connection is recreated and tested.
Old URLs are mapped and redirected before launch.
Your team learns the new site, we switch the domain and monitor everything after launch.
Sites built page by page often repeat the same information in many places.
Moving from Wix lets us organize that content once, so updates happen in one place and show up everywhere they should.
Side by side
Both approaches serve a purpose. The right choice depends on how much flexibility, ownership and customization your organization needs.

Questions
Wix does not let you export a site as code to host elsewhere, so a move means rebuilding the site and migrating its content. We handle that for you.
A careful migration protects them. We map and redirect your existing URLs, keep your page titles and descriptions, and monitor search performance after launch.
Yes. Whether your domain is registered with Wix or elsewhere, we transfer it or point it to the new site with no downtime.
