Wix Migration · Durham
Wix Migration in Durham
Migrating Durham organisations off Wix, where the honest description is a rebuild rather than a move. There is no export that produces a working site elsewhere, so content has to be extracted page by page or through the API, and the design is recreated on the new platform rather than transferred to it.
Why this comes up
The problem
The plan assumed an export would produce something the new platform could import, and no such export exists.
What you get
What we deliver
- Content extracted systematically rather than copied by hand under time pressure
- The full page inventory captured, including pages nobody remembered
- Redirects mapped from every existing address to its replacement
- Design rebuilt on the new platform rather than approximated from screenshots
- Forms, bookings and any platform features reproduced or replaced deliberately
- Domain and email considered, since these are frequently managed through the platform

Working in Durham
North East
Durham's economy is dominated by its university and cathedral, so the commercial base is small and much of the local demand comes from spinouts and suppliers attached to the institutions rather than from independent industry.
Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones.

Wix Migration in Durham — common questions
- Why is there no clean export?
- Because the platform is closed by design. Content can be retrieved through the API or by crawling the published site, and neither produces something another platform imports directly — so extraction is a defined piece of work rather than a menu option.
- How do we make sure nothing is missed?
- By crawling the live site rather than working from what anyone remembers. Sites accumulate pages that are linked from nowhere obvious, and a crawl finds them — which also produces the address list the redirect mapping needs.
- What about domain and email?
- Check where they are managed before moving anything. Domains registered through the platform and email attached to them need transferring or reconfiguring, and discovering that during cutover is how a migration takes a company's email offline.
- Should the design be recreated exactly?
- Usually not. A migration is an opportunity to improve a design that was constrained by the previous platform's editor, and recreating it faithfully means carrying forward compromises that no longer apply on the new one.
- Do you work with businesses across County Durham?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout North East, including Durham and the surrounding County Durham area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Durham businesses do you usually work with?
- Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones. Beyond that we work across Higher Education, Tourism & Heritage, Public Sector, Retail and Research.
- Do you cover the areas around Durham?
- Yes — we work throughout North East, including Newcastle, Sunderland, York. Durham is an urban area of roughly 70,000+, and we take on work across the wider County Durham region rather than the city boundary alone.
