Wix to Webflow

Migrate from Wix to Webflow

A Wix migration is a rebuild, not a one-click export. That is the honest starting point. The upside is that the rebuild is where the site can finally get a structure your team and search engines can work with.

A migration like this usually takes 2–3 weeks

Why people move

What changes when you move from Wix to Webflow.

What is being compared	Wix	Webflow
How pages are laid out	Wix Elements placed at coordinates, or their newer editor	Webflow Elements in flow, with the responsive rules written down A site built by placing things has no responsive behavior to carry across. It is defined during the rebuild, often for the first time.
Content model	Wix Wix CMS collections	Webflow Webflow collections with references
Getting content out	Wix CMS collections and most product data as CSV. The rest is extracted by hand	Webflow Not applicable The single biggest driver of what a Wix migration costs, and the blog is the part people are most often surprised by.
Custom code	Wix Velo, inside Wix	Webflow Custom code, APIs, and services outside
SEO control	Wix Improved, still constrained	Webflow Per-page and per-item, with real redirect handling
Apps	Wix Bookings, members, stores and forms, each a separate product	Webflow A native feature, an outside service, or dropped Every installed app holds its own data and needs its own answer. It is the part of a Wix quote that moves most.

Once you have decided

What actually migrates.

What you have	What happens	Why
Pages	Rebuild	Wix layouts do not export, and absolute positioning would not be worth carrying if they did.
CMS collections	Move	Exportable as CSV, which is the one part that moves as data.
Blog posts	Rebuild	There is no cross-platform blog export, so posts are extracted from the live site and rebuilt as collection items. This is the row people assume is a CSV and it is not.
Images	Rebuild	There is no bulk media export, so assets are collected from the Media Manager, compressed and rehosted. On an image-heavy site it is the line that moves the quote most.
URLs and redirects	Reconfigure	Wix paths rarely match the new structure; every one gets mapped.
Wix apps and Velo	Rebuild	Installed apps, Velo code and anything calling an external API get audited one at a time, then become a native feature, custom code, a service chosen for the job, or a deliberate removal.

Before you budget it

Where this migration gets complicated.

01

Wix apps are third-party products, each with its own answer

Bookings, members, stores and forms are apps with their own data. Each becomes a Webflow feature, a different service, or a deliberate removal, and the answer is different for every one.
02

Velo code is Wix's runtime and does not come out

Any site using Velo has logic written against Wix's own APIs and data collections. None of it ports. What it was doing has to be established by reading it, then rebuilt as custom code or as a service outside the site.

How it runs

How the migration works.

01

Plan

What Wix will actually hand over, what has to be rebuilt, and what each thing becomes: a page, a collection, a field, or nothing.
02

Build

Elements placed at coordinates become a layout in flow, with the responsive rules written down for the first time.
03

Migrate

Content in, assets rehosted and checked against the source, and every address that changes given a rule pointing straight at its replacement.
04

Launch

Forms at the record, every template at three widths and every old address requested, all before anything is switched. Then typically 2–3 weeks from start to live, and a week of watching what the old addresses return.

What you are buying

What is included.

Design rebuild

Rebuilt directly against the existing site.
Responsive development

Desktop, tablet and mobile, built and checked.
CMS architecture

Collections and fields mapped before build.
Content migration

Migrated and checked against the source.
Asset migration

Collected, compressed and rehosted.
Forms and integrations

Tested through to the final record.
Redirects

Changed URLs mapped directly to replacements.
Metadata and canonicals

Preserved wherever possible.
Search footprint preservation

URLs inventoried before and checked after.
Pre-launch QA

Forms, templates and old URLs verified.
Post-launch support

One week of indexing and traffic checks included.

Search visibility can move during a migration. The goal is to preserve what search engines already understand, and to catch what changed quickly after launch.
