With any website platform, you’re bound to run into some cons sooner or later.

Whatever your reasons for wanting to switch website platforms, it’s important to know how to properly transfer your Wix website to another platform—without losing any valuable data or search engine ranking in the process.

How to export your Wix site

If you’ve built your website on Wix but have decided to switch to another platform, you’ll need to export your Wix site first. Here’s how:

1. Log in to your Wix account and go to the editor.
2. Click on the gear icon at the top right and then select “Export & Import.”
3. Make sure that the “Export” option is selected and then click “Start Export.”
4. Enter your email address and then click “Export.”
5. Once the export is complete, you’ll receive an email with a link to download your site’s ZIP file.

How to import your Wix site to another platform

If you’re interested in moving your Wix site to another platform, there are a few things you need to know. First, Wix does not currently offer an export feature. This means that you’ll need to manually transfer your content over to your new platform. Here’s a rundown of what you’ll need to do:

1. Create a new site on your chosen platform.
2. Export your Wix site’s content as an HTML file. You can do this by going to the settings menu and selecting “Export.”
3. Import your content into your new site. This will vary depending on which platform you’re using, but most platforms have an import function that will allow you to upload your HTML file.
4. Once your content is imported, you’ll need to set up your menus and navigation. Again, this will vary depending on which platform you’re using, but most platforms offer fairly easy-to-use tools for this purpose.
5. Finally, don’t forget to set up redirects from your old Wix site to your new one! This will ensure that any visitors who try to access your Wix site will be redirected to your new site instead.

And that’s it! With just a few simple steps, you can easily transfer your Wix site over to another platform.

Things to keep in mind when transferring your Wix site

When you’re ready to move your Wix website to another platform, there are a few things you’ll need to keep in mind. First, Wix does not offer an export function for your site, so you’ll need to use a third-party service to download your site’s files. Secondly, Wix uses a proprietary platform, which means that some of your site’s features may not work on other platforms. Finally, you’ll need to update your DNS settings to point your domain name to your new host.

If you’re transferring your Wix website to WordPress, we recommend using the WordPress importer tool. This tool will import your Wix posts, pages, and media into WordPress. Learn more about how to use the WordPress importer tool here.

Once you’ve transferred your site files and updated your DNS settings, be sure to update your Google Analytics tracking code and submit your new sitemap to Google Search Console. Doing these things will help ensure that your traffic and search engine rankings are not affected by the transfer.

Whatever the reason, if you want to switch platforms, it’s important to do it in a way that doesn’t disrupt your business or upset your customers. In this article, we’ll outline the steps you need to take to make the switch smoothly.

1. Choose the right platform
The first step is to choose the right platform for your needs. Do some research and take some time to try out different options. Once you’ve settled on a new platform, create a test site so you can get familiar with the interface and tools.

2. Export your content from Wix
Once you’re ready to move your content over, log in to your Wix account and go to the site manager. From there, click on “Export Site” and choose how you want to export your content – HTML code or an XML file.

3. Import your content into your new platform
Now it’s time to import your content into your new platform. Most platforms will have an import tool that will allow you to upload your HTML code or XML file from Wix. If not, you can usually copy and paste your content into the new platform manually.

4. Update your DNS settings
The final step is to update your DNS settings so that your domain points to your new website instead of your Wix site. To do this, log in to your domain registrar and update the DNS records for your domain name.
If everything is set up correctly, after about 48 hours, anyone who goes to your website will be automatically redirected to your new site
