Switching from Wix
Redesign your Wix website with Webese
Wix gives you total layout freedom, which usually means the copy was never really planned — just filled in section by section. Here's what changes when you rebuild on Webese, and how bringing your existing content across will work.
Signs it's time for a redesign
The site has drifted into a pile of sections added over time, with no clear read on what it's actually saying.
Editing means dragging elements around pixel by pixel instead of just typing what you mean.
You're paying for Wix's app marketplace to bolt on a store, bookings, or forms that should've been built in.
The copy was written block by block as the page was built, so no two sections sound like they're about the same business.
What changes when you switch
| Aspect | On Wix today | After switching to Webese |
|---|---|---|
| How the site's copy was written | Written piecemeal, section by section, as the page was assembled in Wix's editor. | Generated together from your actual positioning — audience, outcome, and what makes you different. |
| Editing after launch | Wix's drag-and-drop editor — full layout freedom, but every change is manual, element by element. | Click any text, image, or graphic directly on the page to change it in place. |
| Selling products or services | Wix Stores or a paid app, each billed and configured separately from the site itself. | A store built in from the start — your own Stripe account or bank transfer, 0% Webese fees. |
| Your domain | Registered and hosted through Wix. | Keep it — point it at Webese, or transfer it in. Either way, DNS is handled for you. |
How switching works
- 1
Tell Webese about your business
The same conversation every Webese site starts from — your audience, offer, and what makes you different — whether or not you're bringing an existing site across.
- 2
Bring your existing content across
An AI importer that reads your current Wix site and carries over your real content — copy, images, product listings — into the new draft, so you're editing your own material, not starting from a blank page. This is the part currently in development; see the note below.
- 3
Review and edit the draft
Everything lands in the same click-to-edit canvas as any other Webese site — resize a logo, rewrite a headline, delete a section you don't need, all in place.
- 4
Point your domain at Webese
Keep the domain you already own. Webese shows you the exact DNS record to add at Wix (or wherever it's registered) and handles verification and SSL automatically.
Import preview — coming soon
The AI importer that reads an existing Wix site and carries its content into a Webese draft is in development, not live yet. Until it ships, switching means describing your business the same way any new Webese site starts — and copying over specific text or images you want kept is a normal part of that conversation. This page will be updated with a walkthrough video once the importer is ready.
Why layout freedom isn't the same as a clear message
Wix's pitch is total design control — drag anything anywhere. That's genuinely powerful for a designer with a specific look in mind, but it also means nothing about the page's structure or message is guided. Most Wix sites grow section by section over months, with each addition written in isolation.
The result is a site that can look polished while still not saying anything specific about the business — because no single pass ever asked who it's for or what makes it different. That's a message problem, not a design problem, and more layout freedom doesn't fix it.
What actually changes when you switch
Instead of assembling sections and writing copy for each as you go, Webese generates the whole site — structure and copy together — from your positioning in one pass, so every section is making the same argument instead of a different one.
You also stop paying separately for a store or booking app bolted onto the site: Webese's store is built in and fully real, checkout through your own Stripe account or bank transfer, at 0% Webese fees.
Questions about switching from Wix
Can Webese import my existing Wix site automatically today?+
Not yet — that importer is in development. Right now, switching means starting a Webese build the normal way (describing your business) and bringing over specific copy or images you want kept as part of that conversation. This page will be updated the moment automatic import ships.
Will I lose my domain if I switch from Wix to Webese?+
No. You keep whatever domain you already own — Webese shows you the exact DNS record to add at your registrar (Wix or anywhere else) for a one-time $24 fee, and handles verification and SSL automatically.
I have a lot of custom layout work in Wix — does that carry over?+
Not the pixel-level layout itself — Webese uses its own design system rather than replicating a drag-and-drop canvas. What matters most (your copy, images, and product listings) is what the importer will carry across once it ships; in the meantime, describing your business and bringing over specific content manually gets you most of the way there.
What happens to my Wix Stores products?+
Products need to be re-added in Webese's own store today, since the importer doesn't move commerce data yet. Once added, they're real, purchasable products — checkout runs through your own Stripe account or bank transfer, at 0% Webese fees.
Is switching from Wix to Webese free to try?+
Yes — building, editing, and sharing a live preview link are free for everyone, so you can generate and review a redesigned draft before deciding anything. Publishing it to your own domain is what a paid plan unlocks.
