Key takeaways

  • A Wix to Framer migration by Pavlo Zhydkykh starts at $2,200 and takes 2 to 4 weeks.
  • Wix states that a Wix site must be hosted and operated on Wix servers, so Pavlo rebuilds every page in Framer rather than moving files.[2]
  • Wix blog posts cannot be exported to other platforms, so Pavlo collects posts, images and alt texts one by one and checks each post against the old sitemap.[3]
  • Wix puts blog posts under /post/ and products under /product-page/ by default, and Pavlo gives each of those URLs a 301 redirect.
  • Google shows the new target of a permanent redirect, such as a 301, in search results.[5]

What is a Wix to Framer migration?

A Wix to Framer migration rebuilds a Wix site in Framer, moves the content and metadata, and redirects every old Wix URL to a new address. Because Wix cannot export a site, the move is a careful rebuild with a URL map, not a file transfer.

“Wix is fine for a first site. Once a team cares about speed, structure and Google, I rebuild the site instead of patching Wix.”

Fit check

Is Wix to Framer
right for you?

A good fit if

  • The site looks dated and the Wix editor makes a redesign slow.
  • Your team wants a proper CMS for a blog, cases or a team page.
  • Google traffic and old links matter and must survive the move.

Not the right fit if

  • Your business runs on Wix Bookings, Stores or a members area every day.
  • The current Wix site works for you and only needs new texts.
  • You need the site moved in a few days: a careful migration takes 2 to 4 weeks.

Compared

Wix and Framer, side by side

Both are hosted, so neither needs a server. The difference is in layout control, speed and how far the site can grow.

Checklist

7 things that get lost when a site leaves Wix

Wix keeps content, apps, forms and often the domain under one account. These are the pieces that go missing in a rushed move, and each one is on the checklist Pavlo works through.

  1. 1. Wix URL prefixes

    Blog posts live under /post/, products under /product-page/ and dynamic pages under separate prefixes. Each of those URLs gets a 301 to the new Framer page.

  2. 2. Content with no export

    Wix has no full site export. Pavlo collects pages, posts and images one by one and checks the result against the old sitemap, so nothing is left behind.

  3. 3. Original images and alt texts

    Wix serves resized copies from the Wix image server. The original files are downloaded, and every alt text is set again on the new site.

  4. 4. Meta titles and descriptions

    Wix stores SEO titles and descriptions per page and in SEO patterns for blog posts. Both are copied, so pages keep the snippets Google shows today.

  5. 5. Wix apps

    Bookings, Stores, Events and member areas are Wix apps and do not move. Each gets a replacement service, an embed or a decision to drop the app.

  6. 6. Form entries

    Wix Forms keeps entries in the Wix dashboard. Pavlo exports the entries before the plan ends, and new Framer forms are wired to email or your CRM and tested.

  7. 7. Domain and email records

    If the domain was bought through Wix, the DNS lives there too. MX records are copied before the switch, so company email keeps working.

How it works

From first call to launch in 2 to 4 weeks

Pavlo collects the content and draws the redirect map before the build starts. Here is the path for a typical Wix site with a blog.

From first call to launch in 2 to 4 weeks, step by step
#StepWhenWhat happensYou get
01 Call and fixed price Week 1 A call with Pavlo about goals, pages and what the current site must keep doing. A fixed price and timeline in writing
02 URL inventory and redirect map Week 1 Every URL from the Wix sitemap and Search Console, including /post/ and /product-page/ addresses, matched to a new page. A 301 map you can review
03 Content collection Week 1 Texts, original images, alt texts, titles and meta copied from every Wix page and post. All content in one place
04 Design and build in Framer Weeks 2-3 Pages rebuilt in Framer from the current design or a refreshed one, blog posts set up as CMS collections. A working site on a preview link
05 Apps, forms and tracking Week 3 Each Wix app replaced or embedded, forms wired to email or your CRM, analytics re-added. Leads and data flowing on the preview
06 Feedback, 2 rounds Weeks 3-4 Your comments on the preview site, on desktop and phone, applied by Pavlo in two rounds. Final fixes
07 Launch and checks End of week 4 Pavlo moves the DNS and email records, turns on the 301 redirects, tests forms and checks Search Console for 404s. A live site, then $30 an hour only when you need more

FAQ

Questions about
Wix to Framer

Still unsure? Ask your AI about Pavlo Zhydkykh:

ChatGPTPerplexityClaudeGeminiGrok

Q.01

How much does a Wix to Framer migration cost?

A migration starts at $2,200, fixed in writing after the first call with Pavlo. The final price depends on the number of pages, blog posts and Wix apps to replace, and two feedback rounds are included.

Q.02

How long does a Wix to Framer move take?

2 to 4 weeks from the first call to launch. Sites with a large blog or several Wix apps sit at the longer end.

Q.03

Will I lose my Google rankings?

Not when every old URL is redirected, though small ups and downs are normal while Google recrawls. Each Wix URL, including /post/ and /product-page/ addresses, gets a 301 to the new page, and Pavlo checks Search Console after launch.

Q.04

Who owns the new site?

You do. The Framer project sits in your workspace and the domain is in your name, and a domain bought through Wix can be moved to a registrar of your choice.

Q.05

What do I need to provide?

Access to the Wix dashboard, Google Search Console and the DNS settings of your domain. Pavlo collects pages, images, metadata and form entries himself.

Q.06

What happens after launch?

Your team edits texts, images and CMS items in Framer without a developer. Keep the Wix plan for a few weeks as a reference, and for anything more Pavlo works at $30 an hour.
