Moving away from Wix is usually a rebuild and migration project, not a matter of downloading the existing site and uploading it to another host.

Wix's current documentation says Wix sites depend on Wix technology and are hosted and operated on Wix servers. That makes a careful inventory important before the old site is changed or canceled.

## Inventory what the current site contains

Record:

- every public URL;
- page copy;
- blog content;
- images and downloadable files;
- forms;
- navigation;
- SEO titles and descriptions;
- analytics;
- embedded tools;
- third-party integrations.

Also document which functions are native Wix features and which come from outside services.

## Separate the domain from the website platform

The domain may be registered through Wix or through another registrar.

DNS may also be controlled somewhere else.

Confirm who owns the registrar account, who can change DNS, and which recovery email and phone number are attached before planning the cutover.

## Choose the destination from requirements

Leaving Wix does not automatically mean WordPress, Django, or a static site is the right destination.

Choose the replacement based on editing needs, forms, workflows, structured data, integrations, and maintenance expectations.

## Preserve useful URLs

Where the same content still exists after migration, keep the existing path when practical.

For URLs that must change, map old addresses to meaningful replacements and configure redirects rather than sending everything to the homepage.

## Test before changing DNS

Build and test the replacement first.

Check pages, forms, media, mobile behavior, analytics, redirects, and other important functions before the domain points to the new site.
