Wix to Astro migration

Move from Wix to Astro and Sanity, with a website you own

Wix can't be exported, so we rebuild: pages in Astro, content in Sanity, a plan for every URL. Afterwards your team edits content itself and approves bigger changes in a preview.

Why teams switch

Common reasons to leave Wix

01

You don't own the website

Pages and design only exist inside Wix. With Astro the code sits in your repository and you decide where the site runs.

02

The structure can't keep up

Use cases, integrations and comparison pages need a proper content model. In Sanity we define content types that match your product.

03

Your product already lives in code

If your app is in Git, the website can sit next to it. Design system, data and integrations connect directly.

04

You want changes to run through AI

Your team describes a change, the AI workflow with Claude or Codex builds it and you approve it in a preview. That only works with code you own.

What moves

What comes over from Wix

Wix exports very little, so most content comes from the live site. Whatever you can export yourself, we secure first.

  • Migrated
  • Partly
  • Rebuilt
  • Replaced
  • Page copy

    Partly

    Wix doesn't export pages. We crawl every page, review the copy with you and store it in Sanity.

  • Blog posts

    Partly

    Wix says blog posts can't be exported. A script reads every post from the live site and saves it with author and date as a Sanity document.

  • CMS collections

    Migrated

    You export each collection as CSV from the Wix CMS. We map its fields to a Sanity schema and import the rows by script.

  • Redirects

    Migrated

    We export the URL Redirect Manager as CSV and merge it into the new redirect plan.

  • Design and layout

    Rebuilt

    Wix templates don't transfer. We build pages from Astro components that your team fills in Sanity.

  • Forms

    Rebuilt

    We replace Wix Forms with forms in code that send straight to HubSpot or your CRM. Export past submissions from the dashboard first.

  • Wix apps and Velo code

    Replaced

    Every app and every Velo script gets an answer: a component in code, an external service, or drop it.

  • Images and files

    Partly

    We download images and PDFs from the live site, replace Wix image URLs and add alt text in Sanity.

For your marketing

What keeps running for your marketing

Rankings are only one part. We also protect everything your team uses to measure leads and pipeline.

Tracking and attribution

GA4, the tag manager, UTM parameters and conversion events keep running from day one. In Astro tracking scripts load only after consent and do not slow the page. Before launch we compare every event on staging with the old site.

Forms and CRM

We replace Wix Forms with custom forms connected straight to your CRM. Fields, hidden fields for the lead source and the handover to HubSpot, Salesforce or Pipedrive stay the same. We check test leads right in the CRM.

Demo booking

Demo and contact pages, calendars like HubSpot Meetings, Calendly or Chili Piper and your chat stay in place. Old demo URLs from ads, emails and sales decks redirect straight to the new page.

Visibility in AI search

Structured data, clear headings and an up-to-date sitemap are in place from launch. That helps Google and AI search like ChatGPT or Perplexity find your pages again quickly.

To be honest

When Astro is the wrong next step

  • Your team wants to design pages itself

    If you want to assemble landing pages visually, Webflow suits you better. That's what our Wix to Webflow path covers.

  • You don't want a developer partner

    Your team runs content in Sanity on its own. But new features and components need someone who knows the codebase.

  • Wix Stores or a member area is the core

    If a shop or login area carries the business, we first check whether a move solves more than it costs.

  • You mainly want off Wix, fast

    If the pressure comes from a missing feature or the subscription, Webflow is the shorter step. Astro pays off when your team wants to work differently afterwards.

Frequently asked questions about migrating from Wix to Astro

What B2B SaaS teams want to know before moving from Wix to Astro.

What can we export from Wix ourselves?

Three things, each as CSV: CMS collections, the list in the URL Redirect Manager and form submissions. Pages, design and the blog stay in Wix. We take those from the live site with a crawl.

Does our Wix blog come with us?

Yes. Wix has no blog export, so we pull posts with author, date, categories and images from the live site by script and store them in Sanity.

Can our team keep running the site itself?

For content, yes: copy, images and new entries in Sanity. New pages or layout changes are described to the AI workflow and approved in a preview. Anything the code can't do yet, like a new integration, is built by a developer partner. That's the honest difference from Wix.

Why not move to Webflow instead?

Sometimes Webflow is the better choice, for example when your team wants to build pages visually. Astro fits when you want to own the code and work with AI agents. We compare both on the call.

Do our Wix URLs stay the same?

Astro can reproduce any path, including /post/ from the Wix Blog. For each page type we decide whether the URL stays or 301-redirects to a cleaner structure.

Where does the site run afterwards?

With a host of your choice and the code sits in your repository. You can cancel Wix once the domain points to the new site and your exports are saved.
