FAQ
Q: Should I switch from Wix? Is WordPress better?
A: It depends on your goals — but for most growing websites, WordPress offers more flexibility, control, and long-term scalability than Wix. With WordPress, you can customize every part of your site, use thousands of powerful plugins, and have full access to your code and hosting. It’s especially beneficial if you care about advanced SEO, site performance, or expanding your site in the future (e.g. adding a blog, eCommerce, or memberships).
Wix is a solid choice for beginners who want to launch quickly with minimal setup, but WordPress gives you more room to grow — without platform limitations.

Q: How long does the migration take, and will my Wix site stay online?
A: Most website migrations are completed within 5–7 business days, depending on the size and complexity of the site. For example, a site with up to 10 pages can usually be migrated in about 5 days, while larger sites (20–30+ pages) may take up to 10 business days.
During the migration, your existing Wix site will remain fully accessible. The process involves building a new version of your site on WordPress — separately and offline — so there’s no downtime. Only once the new site is complete and approved, your domain will be pointed to the new version. This ensures a seamless transition, without interrupting access for your visitors.

Q: Will my new WordPress website accurately match my current Wix site?
A: Yes — the goal is to recreate your Wix site on WordPress as closely as possible, including layout, styling, and content. While some Wix-specific features may require alternatives, everything important is reviewed and agreed upon before the work begins. This ensures the final result meets your expectations without compromises.
Q: Can I keep my current domain name?
A: Absolutely. Your domain name will remain the same—it only needs to be pointed to your new WordPress site. You can either update the nameservers in your domain registrar dashboard (if you keep your domain with Wix or another registrar) or transfer the domain to your hosting provider of choice. I’ll guide you through whichever option suits you best.

A: Yes, you’ll have full control over your WordPress site. The platform is user-friendly and designed to let you update content, images, and pages without needing technical skills.
Don’t worry about breaking anything — most hosting providers offer automatic backups, so if something goes wrong, your site can easily be restored.
