    Wix is a brilliant starting point and a frustrating long-term home. Once you need real SEO control, faster page loads, custom functionality, proper integrations or a design that doesn't look like every other Wix site, you've hit the ceiling. Migrating to a custom-coded site removes all of that — same content, same domain, same rankings, dramatically faster pages, and a backend designed around how your business actually runs.

    We migrate Wix sites with content, images, SEO metadata and blog posts preserved, every URL either kept identical or 301-redirected properly, and a fresh custom design that finally matches your brand. Pairs naturally with our web design service and website redesign.

    Most Wix migrations ship in 3–6 weeks with zero downtime on the cutover.

    Why Leave Wix for Custom

    Faster, SEO-friendly, design-flexible — and no more monthly platform tax.

    No monthly Wix subscription — hosting from $10–20/month instead of $25–50

    3–4× faster page loads — green Core Web Vitals from launch day

    Real SEO control — clean URLs, structured data, custom metadata

    Design without the template ceiling — pixel-perfect to your brand

    Proper integrations — Stripe, Xero, HubSpot, custom APIs

    Yours forever — code in your GitHub, no platform lock-in

    What a Wix → Custom Migration Includes

    Every piece that has to come across cleanly for a safe cutover.

    Content Migration

    Pages, sections, copy, images, blog posts, forms, testimonials and team profiles — extracted from Wix and re-implemented in your new custom site with structure improved along the way.

    SEO Preservation

    Every URL kept identical or 301-redirected (Wix URLs are notoriously ugly — we clean them up safely), all meta titles / descriptions preserved, structured data added (Organization, LocalBusiness, Breadcrumb, Article, FAQ), XML sitemap regenerated, Search Console moved across.

    Fresh Custom Design

    Most clients want a design refresh too — not a Wix template copy. We rebuild your site in a custom React + Tailwind design that finally matches your brand identity, mobile-first, accessible and unique to you.

    Core Web Vitals

    Wix sites typically score 30–50 on mobile Lighthouse; we ship at 90+. Same Core Web Vitals work as our <a href='/website-speed-optimisation-australia' class='text-primary hover:underline'>speed optimisation</a> service — green LCP, INP and CLS on launch day.

    Why Aussie Businesses Migrate Off Wix

    Wix is fine for the first 12 months — then it stops scaling with you. Page speed plateaus, SEO control runs out, integrations cost extra, design starts to feel templated, and the monthly fee climbs every year. A custom-coded replacement gives you back design freedom, real speed, proper SEO and ownership — usually at a comparable or lower total cost when you factor in the Wix subscription savings.

    10+ years of migrating Aussie businesses off Wix, Squarespace, GoDaddy and similar platforms means we know exactly which features matter to keep, which were template-driven dead weight, and how to land the cutover with zero ranking loss.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How much does a Wix-to-custom migration cost in Australia?

    Most migrations land between $799 and $6,000 — a small-business site on our $599 / $799 multi-page subscription tier is on the lower end, a full custom redesign with new functionality is on the higher end. Always fixed-price after a free scoping call.

    Will I lose my Google rankings?

    No — that's exactly what the SEO preservation step is for. Every URL is kept identical or properly 301-redirected, all metadata is preserved, structured data is added (Wix is notoriously thin on schema), the sitemap is regenerated, and Search Console moves across. Most clients see a ranking lift inside 60 days because the new site is dramatically faster.

    How long does the migration take?

    Most Wix migrations ship in 3–6 weeks depending on site size and whether you want a design refresh. We work in 2-week sprints with previews so you're approving the new design and content well before cutover day.

    Can I keep my .com.au domain?

    Yes — and we recommend it. We update DNS records during a quiet traffic window so the cutover is invisible to customers. Email (Microsoft 365 / Google Workspace) is unaffected; we never touch your MX records unless you've asked us to set up new email.

    Can I still edit the new site myself?

    Yes — depending on your package. Subscription clients get included edits ASAP via support. For higher-edit-volume clients we add a lightweight CMS (or a full <a href='/headless-cms-implementation-australia' class='text-primary hover:underline'>headless CMS</a>) so you can update pages and blog posts yourself, without the Wix sidebar.

    Do I own the new site?

    Yes, completely. Code lives in your GitHub, hosting is on your account, and you can move providers or developers at any time. No more being locked into a single platform with annual price hikes.
