Why Teams Leave Wix

Drag-and-drop website builder with AI features. Small business owners building their first website without any coding, but these limitations push teams toward modern alternatives.

This is the most common reason teams migrate away from Wix. Qwik eliminates this issue entirely.

No way to export your site or move to another host

With Qwik, resumability eliminates hydration — near-instant interactivity.

Absolute positioning makes responsive design brittle

Modern architectures like Qwik are designed to avoid this from the ground up.

Performance degrades significantly with apps and animations

After migrating, you'll no longer need to worry about this — Qwik takes a fundamentally different approach.

Is Wix to Qwik the Right Move for You?

Migrating from Wix to Qwik makes the most sense if you're experiencing poor core web vitals — heavy javascript bundle slows pages or outgrowing Wix's architecture. Qwik is best for performance-obsessed teams building sites where time to interactive is critical.

You should migrate if: your Wix site is slow, your hosting costs are climbing, you need more control over your code, or you want to adopt a modern JAMstack architecture.

You might want to stay if: your Wix site benefits from wix adi creates a site automatically from your answers and you don't have JavaScript/TypeScript developers on your team. Wix is genuinely easy to use, and that simplicity has value.

The migration itself is straightforward with LeaveWP — enter your Wix URL, select Qwik, and download your content. The more important question is whether Qwik's architecture fits your team's skills and your project's long-term needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to migrate from Wix to Qwik?

Most migrations from Wix complete in 10-20 minutes. Content is exported from Wix, then structured for Qwik. Complex sites with extensive custom fields may take longer.

Will I lose my SEO rankings when migrating from Wix?

No. We help you set up proper 301 redirects from your old Wix URLs to preserve search rankings. Qwik actually tends to improve Core Web Vitals scores, which can boost rankings over time.

What Wix content can be migrated to Qwik?

Wix content types like pages, blog posts, products, bookings are all migrated to Qwik. Content is converted to Markdown/MDX files or structured for your chosen headless CMS.

Do I need JavaScript/TypeScript experience to migrate?

No coding experience is required for the migration itself — LeaveWP handles the export and conversion automatically. However, customizing your Qwik site afterward will benefit from JavaScript/TypeScript knowledge. For teams without that expertise, the generated code is well-structured and documented, making it approachable for developers of any level.

How much does it cost to host a Qwik site after migrating from Wix?

Qwik sites can be deployed to Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare Pages, or any Node.js host — often on generous free tiers. Compared to Wix's $17-35/month pricing, static Qwik sites can be hosted for free on Vercel or Netlify (up to generous bandwidth limits), which is significantly cheaper than running a Wix instance.

Can I migrate Wix custom fields and metadata to Qwik?

Yes. Custom fields, metadata, and taxonomies from Wix are preserved during migration. In Qwik, these become frontmatter fields in your Markdown/MDX files, which you can extend or restructure to fit your content model.
