How do I move my website off Wix?
Wix has no clean export, so the site is rebuilt rather than transferred. Content, images and structure come across, every existing URL is mapped to its new address with a 301 redirect, and the domain is pointed at the new host once it is live. Typically one to three weeks for a standard business site.
What are the actual problems with Wix and Squarespace?
Three recurring ones. Page speed you cannot fix, because you do not control the code they ship. Structural SEO limits, including how URLs and markup are generated. And a monthly fee that rises while the site stays the same. For a brochure site that never changes, they are a reasonable trade. For a business that depends on search, they are a ceiling.
Why is my WordPress site slow, and is a rebuild the answer?
Usually it is plugin load, an unoptimised theme, uncompressed images and a shared host, in that order. Often that is fixable in place for far less than a rebuild, and I will tell you if that is your situation. A rebuild is worth it when the plugin stack has become the site, when updates keep breaking things, or when the security surface has grown beyond what the site is worth.
Can you take a Lovable, Bolt or v0 project to production?
Yes, that is one of the most common jobs I get now. The screens and product thinking usually survive. What gets rebuilt is the part these tools leave incomplete: database access rules, authentication enforced on the server, secrets moved out of client-side code, payments, backups and deployment.
Can I export my code from Lovable and just host it myself?
You can export it, and hosting it is the easy part. The reason people call me afterwards is that the exported project usually still has open database policies, keys in the client bundle and no error tracking. Export solves ownership, not readiness.
Will I lose my Google rankings when migrating?
Not if the redirects are done properly. Every old URL points at its new equivalent with a 301, which passes ranking signals across. Rankings often improve afterwards, because the new site is faster and server-rendered. Losses happen when someone skips the URL mapping, which is the first thing I build, not the last.
How long does a migration take and what does it cost?
A standard business site is one to three weeks. A larger site with hundreds of URLs, or a half-built app, takes longer. Send me your current site on WhatsApp and I will come back with a fixed-price statement of work after a free discovery call, alongside what the new setup costs to run so you can compare it with what you pay the platform now.
Can I still edit my own content afterwards?
Yes. We set up an editing workflow that fits how you actually work, whether that is a proper CMS, a simple content file, or messaging me the new text.
