Migrate from Wix to a site you actually own.Faster, hand-built, no monthly tax.
If your Wix site loads slowly, looks like every other Wix site, and costs you a subscription that grows every year — you are not stuck with it. We migrate from Wix to hand-coded React websites that load in under a second, look exactly like your brand, and live on infrastructure you control. The same goes if you are on Squarespace and need a serious Wix alternative built around your business.
Slow site, generic look, never quite yours.
Wix gets people online. That is genuinely useful when a business is brand new and a credible website is the first hurdle to clear. The trouble starts later — once the business has grown into the site, and the site has not grown with it. PageSpeed scores in the 40 to 70 range on mobile are routine for Wix-built sites in the wild, and every second of load time costs conversions on the traffic you are working hard to earn.
Then there is the design ceiling. Page-builder templates flatten every brand into the same handful of shapes, the same hero patterns and the same animation tics. Visitors recognise a Wix site within a couple of seconds, and that recognition does not help you — it tells them you have not invested in this part of your business.
And finally, ownership. The monthly fee never stops. The themes, the apps, the editor — none of it is yours to take with you. If Wix raises prices or quietly retires a feature you depend on, you absorb it. A Wix alternative built as a hand-coded React site inverts that relationship: you own the code, you own the content, and your hosting bill is a rounding error compared to the subscription you are paying today.
Four to eight weeks, four clear phases.
- Phase 1 · DiscoveryAudit the current Wix siteWe map your existing pages, content, integrations and traffic sources, and agree on what carries over and what we improve. This is also where we lock down the redirect plan that protects your search rankings.
- Phase 2 · DesignRefresh, do not photocopyWe do not rebuild your old Wix layout. We design the site your brand deserves now — typography, motion and structure that match who you have become, not the template you started with.
- Phase 3 · Build & content migrationHand-coded React, content moved cleanlyPages are built as a real React application, pre-rendered to static HTML, and served from a CDN. Copy and images are migrated into a CMS like Sanity so you can keep editing yourself.
- Phase 4 · LaunchCutover with redirects, then monitorDNS swap, 301 redirects from every old Wix URL, sitemap and search console resubmission. We watch rankings and Core Web Vitals for the first month so nothing slips.
A real Wix migration we shipped.
Synopsis Architecture came to us on a Wix site that had outgrown its template. The portfolio was the heart of the business and the page builder simply could not render it at the speed or quality the work deserved. We chose to replace Wix entirely rather than patch around it.
The rebuild is a hand-coded React application with proper image pipelines, pre-rendered HTML and a CMS for content updates. The typography was redesigned to match the practice's printed work and the case studies were re-authored as narrative pages instead of image dumps.
The performance gap before and after the migration tells the story better than any pitch deck.

Lighthouse Performance score range we target on the rebuilt Synopsis site, with hero imagery loading in under 1.5 seconds — and a design that actually looks like a serious architecture practice.
What people ask before they leave Wix.
Will I lose my SEO rankings?
No — if the migration is done properly. We map every old Wix URL to its new equivalent with 301 redirects, ship a fresh sitemap and resubmit to Google Search Console at launch. Better Core Web Vitals usually nudge rankings up rather than down within a few weeks.
How long does the migration take?
Four to eight weeks for a typical small-business site, depending on how many pages we are migrating, whether we are also redesigning, and how quickly content sign-off comes back.
Can I still edit content myself?
Yes. We pair the hand-coded front end with a friendly CMS like Sanity, so day-to-day edits feel as easy as the Wix editor — with none of the design constraints.
What if I am on Squarespace, not Wix?
Same playbook. The migration approach, the redirect plan and the Wix alternative we build for you are essentially identical for a Squarespace source — same outcomes, same timeline.
