Wix gets a lot of businesses started. It’s less good at letting them leave: there’s no way to export a Wix site, so when you outgrow it, migrating is the only route out. We handle the whole move.
Wix is easy to start with, and for a lot of our clients it was the right first step. The drag-and-drop editor gets a basic site live fast, which is exactly what a new business often needs.
The catch is what happens once you’re in. Wix doesn’t let you export your site. Not the design, not the code, nothing. Whatever you’ve built lives on Wix’s platform for as long as you’re paying for it, and the only way to genuinely leave is to rebuild elsewhere. That’s not a criticism we’re making up to sell you something; it’s how the platform is designed, and it’s worth knowing before you invest more time in it.
We see this most with startup clients and nurseries, who often arrive at Three Girls Media having built an early site on Wix themselves, then hit its ceiling as they grow. WordPress runs on an open ecosystem instead: over 59,000 plugins, and if the one you need doesn’t exist yet, we can build it.
You own it, properly this time. With Wix you have no access to your own code and no control over your server. Move to WordPress and the site, the code and the data are yours.
It scales without a rebuild. WordPress handles everything from a small brochure site to a full ecommerce catalogue without hitting a platform limit.
SEO gets real depth. WordPress gives you full control over metadata, titles, descriptions and schema, well beyond what Wix exposes, and your site will generally perform better in search as a result.
Integrations stop being an app-store gamble. WordPress connects to the marketing, analytics and booking tools you already use, rather than whatever’s approved in Wix’s app marketplace.
The monthly bill stops being fixed forever. Wix plans currently run roughly £9 to £119 a month depending on features, for as long as you use it. WordPress software is free; you pay for hosting and the work you want doing, and nothing recurs beyond that.
Security is actively managed, not handed to a black box. WordPress has its own security ecosystem with regular updates, and we run robust, secure hosting for every site we build.

No. Wix doesn’t allow a full export of your design or code, which is why most people who want to leave end up rebuilding rather than migrating a file. We handle that rebuild for you, recreating your content and functionality on WordPress from scratch.
Not if it’s done properly. We map your existing URLs to their new addresses and set up redirects before the old site comes down, so search engines are pointed to the right page rather than a dead end.
Most migrations take two to eight weeks, depending on how much content there is and whether we’re rebuilding functionality Wix couldn’t support.
Yes. We build every WordPress site to be manageable by you, with training included, so you’re not dependent on us for every small change.
You can cancel it once your new WordPress site is live and everything has been checked and confirmed working. We’ll tell you exactly when it’s safe to do that.
