How to Move Your Website from Wix (Step-by-Step, 2026)

Decided it's time to leave Wix? You're not alone — many businesses switch for lower costs, faster performance, or AI-powered building. The good news: moving your website from Wix is simpler than it sounds. Here's exactly how to do it in 2026.

Before you start: what you can and can't take

Wix websites can't be directly exported to another platform, so "migrating" really means rebuilding your site on your new builder. That sounds daunting, but with an AI website builder it's fast — and it's a chance to improve your design and SEO along the way. Your domain and your content (text and images) are yours to keep.

Step-by-step: move your website from Wix

1. Save your content. Copy your text and download your images from your existing Wix site.
2. Choose your new builder. An AI builder like CraftersQ can generate a fresh site from a description of your business — often better than your original.
3. Rebuild in minutes. Generate your new site with AI, then paste in your saved copy and images and refine the design.
4. Set up redirects and pages. Recreate your key pages (home, services, about, contact) so visitors and Google find everything.
5. Point your domain. Update your domain's DNS to your new site. If your domain is registered with Wix, you can transfer it out or simply repoint it.
6. Resubmit to Google. Add your new sitemap in Google Search Console so your pages get re-indexed quickly.

Will I lose my Google rankings?

Not if you do it right. Keep the same domain, recreate your important pages with similar URLs, maintain your page titles and content, and submit your sitemap. Because AI builders produce fast, clean, SEO-ready code, many businesses actually see their rankings improve after switching.
