Before you can migrate your website to Wix, you need to export it from Webflow. Follow these steps:

  2. Select the project you want to export.
  3. Click on the “Export” button located in the top-right corner of the dashboard.
  4. Choose “Export All Pages” to export your entire website or select specific pages if needed.
  5. Download the exported ZIP file containing your website files.

Step 2: Creating a New Wix Website

To import your Webflow website into Wix, you first need to create a new website on Wix. Follow these steps:

  1. Login or create a new account on Wix if you don’t have one already.
  2. Navigate to the Wix Editor by clicking on “Create New Site” or “Manage Site” if you already have an existing site.
  3. Select a template that closely matches the design and layout of your Webflow website.
  4. Edit the template and customize it to match your Webflow website’s design.

Step 3: Importing Webflow Website to Wix

Now that you have a new Wix website set up, it’s time to import your Webflow website. Follow these steps:

  1. Login to your Wix account and open the Wix Editor for your new website.
  2. Click on the “Site” menu located on the left-hand side of the editor.
  3. Select “Import Site” from the dropdown menu.
  4. Click on “Upload ZIP File.”
  5. Select the ZIP file you exported from Webflow.
  6. Wait for the importing process to complete.

Step 4: Review and Adjustments

Your Webflow website should now be imported into Wix. However, there may be some adjustments required due to differences between the two platforms. Here are some things to consider:

  • CSS Styles: Check if any custom CSS styles need adjustment or modification in Wix.
  • Javascript Interactions: If your Webflow site uses any custom JavaScript interactions, recreate them using Wix’s built-in features or find suitable alternatives.
  • Multilingual Sites: If you have a multilingual site in Webflow, set up language-specific versions of your pages using Wix’s language tools.
  • Different Features: Keep in mind that not all features available in Webflow may be present in Wix. Ensure that the essential functionality of your website is still intact after the migration.

Step 5: Publish Your New Wix Website

Once you have reviewed and made any necessary adjustments, it’s time to publish your new Wix website. Follow these steps:

  1. Preview your website to ensure everything looks as expected.
  2. Click on the “Publish” button in the top-right corner of the Wix Editor.
  3. Select a domain name or connect your existing domain to your new Wix website.
  4. Publish your website and make it live for the world to see!
