Wix to WordPress conversion

Outgrowing Wix? Designbooth migrates your site to WordPress with hand-built design, preserved SEO, and full ownership — no templates, no platform lock-in.

Wix is a fast way to launch a simple site. When your business needs stronger SEO, deeper customisation, or integrations Wix cannot support, WordPress is the natural next step. Designbooth provides a structured Wix to WordPress conversion service for UK organisations that want a premium, future-proof platform — built and managed by a Hampshire-based studio with decades of WordPress experience.

Why move from Wix to WordPress?

Wix trades flexibility for convenience. WordPress gives you complete control over design, performance, search visibility, and third-party integrations — without being tied to a closed ecosystem or escalating subscription tiers.

  • SEO and content ownership: Full control of URLs, redirects, schema, and on-page structure — not limited Wix SEO tools.
  • Design freedom: Bespoke layouts built in a custom theme, not constrained by Wix sections and breakpoints.
  • Ecommerce and bookings: WooCommerce, Gravity Forms, and custom workflows that scale with your business.
  • Integrations: CRM, email marketing, analytics, and APIs connected properly — not bolted on.
  • Long-term value: You own the code, the content, and the hosting relationship.

What our Wix conversion includes

Every migration is handled manually by our in-house team — not by an automated plugin — so your brand, content, and search equity are protected throughout.

  • Content migration: Pages, blog posts, images, and media exported from Wix and rebuilt accurately in WordPress.
  • Design recreation or refinement: We match your existing look or improve it — responsive, accessible, and aligned with your offline identity.
  • Functionality mapping: Forms, galleries, ecommerce, booking flows, and custom features recreated or upgraded in WordPress.
  • SEO preservation: Redirects, meta data, and structured content to protect rankings during the switch.
  • Performance and security: Hosting guidance, caching, hardening, and ongoing support from our development team.

Our migration process

  1. Discovery: We audit your Wix site — structure, content, integrations, and SEO baseline.
  2. Planning: URL mapping, redirect strategy, and a WordPress architecture tailored to your goals.
  3. Build: Custom theme development, content import, and functionality recreated in WordPress.
  4. Review: Staging environment for your team to test before launch.
  5. Launch: DNS cutover, redirect verification, and post-launch monitoring.

Platform migration experience

Wix is one of several closed platforms we help clients move away from. We have delivered WordPress migrations from Squarespace, Drupal, and Umbraco — combining design craft with technical rigour on every project.

Who this service is for

Businesses, agencies, and organisations that have outgrown Wix and need a professional WordPress platform — whether that is a marketing site, a WooCommerce shop, a membership portal, or a content hub. If you need a partner who handles design, development, and launch as one coherent project, we are ready to help.
