Wix to WordPress Migration Australia
Outgrow Wix without starting from scratch.
We migrate Australian businesses off Wix onto WordPress — content, design, forms and SEO moved properly, so you own your site outright instead of renting it.
What’s included
Every part of the move, covered.
Content migration, design rebuild, forms and integrations, and SEO — run as one connected project, not an export-and-hope-for-the-best move.
01
Content & Media Migration
Every page, post, image and file moved across, structured properly instead of dumped into a generic import.
Wix’s proprietary editor doesn’t export cleanly — we rebuild your content in WordPress with real structure: proper headings, reusable blocks and organised media, not one big flattened page.
Content
- Page & post migration
- Media library transfer
- Blog content transfer
- Form data export
Structure
- Heading structure
- Reusable block setup
- Menu & navigation rebuild
- Internal linking
02
Design & Custom Development
A genuine WordPress theme built to match or improve your Wix design, not a generic template.
Wix locks you into its own drag-and-drop system. We rebuild your design as a proper WordPress theme, with room for the custom functionality Wix can’t do.
Design
- Design rebuild
- Custom Gutenberg blocks
- Mobile responsiveness
- Brand consistency
Development
- Custom functionality
- Plugin integration
- Performance optimisation
- Ownership & portability
03
Forms, Bookings & Integrations
Contact forms, booking systems and any third-party tools reconnected properly on WordPress.
Wix bundles forms, bookings and payments into its own ecosystem. We map what you’re actually using and rebuild it with WordPress-native tools or the right plugin, not a shaky workaround.
Forms
- Contact form rebuild
- Booking system migration
- Payment integration
- Email marketing reconnection
Tools
- CRM integration
- Analytics setup
- Third-party app migration
- Custom API connections
04
SEO & Redirect Migration
The part most Wix migrations get wrong — losing rankings and traffic that took years to build.
Wix’s URL structure and site architecture need specific mapping to WordPress. Every URL gets a tested redirect before launch, so search engines and returning visitors land in the right place.
Preservation
- Redirect mapping
- Meta data migration
- Schema setup
- URL structure planning
Monitoring
- Post-migration tracking
- Search Console management
- Crawl error monitoring
- Ranking monitoring

Growth Digital
Digital agency, based in Australia
Most Wix migrations we’re called in for happen because a business has hit the ceiling of what a page-builder platform can do — no real ownership, limited customisation, or SEO and performance that can’t keep up as the site grows. Tell us what your Wix site looks like today, and we’ll tell you honestly what needs to happen to move it properly.

Why Growth Digital
More than a digital agency. Your growth partner.
We’re more than a digital agency. We become an extension of your team—bringing strategy, design, development, marketing and AI together to solve problems, unlock opportunities and drive measurable business growth.
01
Results Before Everything
Every decision we make is guided by outcomes, not opinions. From websites and digital marketing to AI automation, we focus on the metrics that matter—qualified leads, conversions, revenue and long-term business growth.
“If you can’t measure it, you can’t improve it.”
02
Faster Execution. Smarter Delivery.
Traditional agencies lose momentum in meetings, approvals and internal processes. We keep communication focused, decisions fast and projects moving—so more time is spent delivering results, not discussing them.
“Ideas are easy. Execution is everything.”
03
AI Built In, Not Bolted On.
AI isn’t an extra service—it’s part of how we work. We use AI and automation to streamline workflows, accelerate delivery and help your business operate more efficiently as it grows.
“The best way to predict the future is to invent it.”
04
Different by Design.
Growth Digital was built to challenge the traditional agency model. No expensive offices. No unnecessary overheads. No sales-driven culture. Just an Australian-led team supported by experienced global specialists, delivering premium digital solutions with better value, faster turnaround and greater flexibility.
“The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking that created them.”
05
Your Long-Term Growth Partner
We’re here for more than a single project. As your business evolves, we continue to optimise, improve and support your digital ecosystem—helping you adapt, scale and grow with confidence.
“Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.”
Why us for this migration
Nothing lost, nothing broken.
Your site stays live until cutover
We build the new WordPress site in parallel and migrate content in stages, with a final sync before launch — no downtime during the move itself.
You actually own what you build
WordPress means your site, your hosting, your data — no monthly platform fee holding your content hostage, and no limits on what you can build next.

Urszula Kelly
We’re really happy with Growth Digital. They built our new website and now take care of our SEO. The team was great to work with — professional, responsive, and easy to communicate with. The website looks clean, modern, and represents us perfectly.
Calamvale Medicine
We started Google Ads with Growth Digital for our pharmacy, and it’s made a real difference. More people are finding us online, and the ads actually bring in local customers. Very happy with their work.
Georgia Smith
They helped me build and customise my Shopify website exactly the way I wanted it. I had plenty of requests and lots of back and forth along the way, and they were always so patient, responsive, and accommodating. The end result is even better than I imagined.
Werner Obermeier
I signed up with Growth Digital to replace my website with a new design after about 20 years of mixed experiences with other IT companies. Jignesh and Heath exceeded all of my expectations and I am extremely happy with the outcome and their timely responses to all issues.
David Finnimore
The team at Growth Digital went above and beyond to deliver our project on-time and on-budget under testing circumstances including pushing through non-working hours. The results speak for themselves but the effort and energy put into our project was more than expected.
Bessette Bridal
My brand required a completely new website which had many moving parts. Jignesh, Heath and their team are calm, diligent, and prompt to assist. Nothing was ever a problem — very happy with how the new site has come together.
Maylene Slater-Burns
We are a First Peoples company and required a lot of time to facilitate community consultations. This company has been so supportive and patient and accommodating; we cannot brag up about them enough.
Sandy Prasad
I have used Growth Digital to set up my medical clinic. Heath has been the main IT specialist. He has been exceptional. Extremely talented. Very efficient and very high quality service.
Alison C
They took my idea and put it into a website that I am proud to go live on. They have been a great source of support during this time and I will continue to utilise their services further as my company grows. Highly recommend.
Jane Dunning
I recently worked with Growth Digital to create the new website for my business, Best in Show Photography, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. As a fine art photography company focused on the deep emotional bond between people and their dogs, it was incredibly important to me that the website felt warm, inviting, and premium. Growth Digital delivered exactly that. They beautifully showcased my portfolio, creating a clean, elegant layout that allows the images and stories to truly shine. Beyond the stunning design, the website is highly functional, easy to navigate, and perfectly set up for clients looking to invest in lifelong family portraits. The communication throughout the project was seamless, and their attention to detail made the entire process stress-free. If you are looking for a digital agency that listens, understands your brand identity, and delivers a high-quality product, I highly recommend Growth Digital!
Courtney Atkins
Growth Digital were amazing; they were very quick and so helpful. Heath was so great to work with and put together our website, very professional and highly recommended for anyone wanting to complete a website!

Was a pleasure working with Heath to create a fantastic website. He was very helpful and prompt in answering any questions that we had. We can’t recommend Growth Digital enough.
Karin McInerney
The Growth Digital team did a fantastic job fixing up my website and were great to work with – endlessly patient and accommodating. I’m very happy with the end-result. Highly recommended!
Klara Truden
Working with Growth Digital on our new website was an incredibly smooth and positive experience. The entire process was clearly explained, well-organized, and professionally guided from start to finish. The end result is excellent — we’re truly proud of our new site. The team was professional, courteous, and a pleasure to work with. A special thank you to Heath for his patience and support throughout the project. I can wholeheartedly recommend Growth Digital and would not hesitate to work with them again in the future.
Bunarong Aquarium
Growth Digital is very professional and exceeded my expectations for an updated website. Great communication with Heath through out the process and was completed in said time frame. Can highly recommend.
Peter M
Very happy, they kept in good contact with me throughout, were well priced and provided exactly what I was after. Well done Growth Digital.
Travis Mcnaught
I’d definitely recommend this company for building a website and SEO. I had dealings with Jignesh & Heath and our company couldn’t be happier with the design and layout of our website. They made the process extremely easy and smooth, with explaining and answering questions that we had throughout the process. Heath was great to deal with and always quick with his work and with prompt response to my questions.
Dealivered
We recently worked with Growth Digital to set up our website and were extremely pleased with the entire experience. From the initial consultation to the final launch, Heath was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive. He took the time to understand our needs and ensured everything was running smoothly before going live.
YL
Big thank you to Heath and Jignesh! They were able to cater to my needs and freshen up my shopify store. From start to finish they were very transparent, knowledgeable and also competitive with pricing. Would definitely recommend them to anyone.
Kwong Keet Chan
This team is fantastic from first encounter to finished project. It was a pleasure to deal with Jignesh and Heath in the whole process. They were friendly, professional, patience and get things done promptly and to-the-point. We got our e-commerce store moved from Ecwid to Shopify and nothing is too big or too small to enquire or explore. More than satisfied with the result.
Lea Simmonds
Was very happy with Heaths service and setting up our Website.
Tendai Makanyanga
It was an excellent experience working with Growth Digital. Jignesh, Heath and the team were responsive to our needs setting up our business website, Tutum Mental Health. They were great teachers along the way as well. We would highly recommend this company.
Dave Sullivan
Jignesh and Heath provide an excellent service. My new website professionally reflects my product. One of my core requirements was the website needed to be easy to navigate and understand. My expectations were exceeded. All of my requests were promptly responded to and communicated back to me. I am not all that Tech savvy however, I was respected, and time was taken to explain some of the more complex issues with me. They are patient.
Leathercare Melbourne
Huge thanks to Growth Digital for an awesome website and SEO work! The team was super easy to work with, and the results speak for themselves — our site looks great, and we’re getting way more traffic. Highly recommend!
Antoinette Braybrook
Very thorough, responsive and supportive. I am new to Shopify and learning a lot from Heath. Thank you.
Karen Wykes
I’m thrilled with my new website from Growth Digital! It’s professional, easy to navigate, and loads quickly. The customer service was outstanding — every request was met with patience and efficiency. I highly recommend Growth Digital for website development!

Where we work
Different cities, different sites.
Melbourne
Melbourne’s competitive service and retail businesses can’t afford the ranking dip a rushed migration risks — a competitor is ready to take that traffic the moment it slips. Redirect accuracy matters more here than in a less competitive market.
- High-competition migrations
- Rigorous redirect mapping
- Close ranking monitoring
- Zero-tolerance downtime
- Service & retail sites
- Competitive-market risk management
Sydney
Sydney’s larger Wix sites often carry years of blog content, multiple integrations and a more complex page structure, which means more custom development than a simple brochure site needs.
- Larger-site migrations
- Multi-integration moves
- Custom development
- Complex content structures
- Years-of-content migration
- Enterprise account management
Brisbane
Growing Brisbane businesses moving off Wix are usually chasing genuine ownership and room to grow, having outgrown what a page builder can flexibly support.
- Growth-stage migrations
- Ownership-driven moves
- Custom functionality needs
- First-time WordPress builds
- Scaling businesses
- Foundational rebuilds
Perth
Some WA Wix sites have years of ad-hoc pages and blog posts added without much structure, so discovery — figuring out what’s actually there before moving it — is a bigger share of the project.
- Undocumented content audits
- Legacy Wix migrations
- Trade & local business sites
- Old-content archaeology
- Careful data extraction
- Right-sized rebuilds
Adelaide
Adelaide’s smaller Wix sites still need the same rigour on redirects and content structure — cutting corners on a small site causes exactly the same kind of damage as on a large one.
- Small-site migrations
- Cost-conscious scoping
- Same-rigour redirects
- Local business migrations
- Right-sized builds
- Data-integrity focus
Gold Coast
Tourism and hospitality Wix sites on the Gold Coast often have booking widgets and seasonal content that need careful handling during the move, so nothing breaks during a peak booking period.
- Booking-widget migrations
- Tourism & hospitality sites
- Peak-period timing
- Seasonal content handling
- Careful cutover sequencing
- Zero-downtime bookings
Canberra
Government-adjacent and corporate Wix sites in Canberra sometimes carry accessibility or compliance requirements that a page builder handles poorly, which is often the actual reason for the move.
- Accessibility-driven migrations
- Compliance-aware builds
- Government-adjacent sites
- Corporate migrations
- WCAG-aware development
- Regulatory-aware redirects
Hobart
Hobart businesses selling tourism, produce or trade services often need a WordPress site that can actually integrate with booking, freight or export systems Wix can’t properly connect to.
- Integration-driven migrations
- Tourism & produce sites
- Statewide Tasmania migrations
- Booking & freight integrations
- Same-rigour redirects
- Right-sized scope

Wix to WordPress migration, done properly
A Wix migration is about more than moving pages — it’s about getting off a platform that limits what your site can become. Done well, nothing breaks and nothing looks rushed; done badly, you lose rankings, content or the design polish that took years to build.
This migration lands you on our Website Development platform — see that page for what we build once you’re on WordPress.
We run this migration for businesses across Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, the Gold Coast, Canberra and Hobart — the risk profile shifts from city to city, from zero-tolerance downtime in competitive Melbourne to WCAG-driven moves for Canberra’s government-adjacent clients.

What does a Wix to WordPress migration agency actually do?
Beyond moving pages and posts, most of the value is in the planning most businesses don’t think to do themselves — auditing every form, integration and custom Wix feature actually in use, rebuilding the design as a genuine WordPress theme rather than a generic template, and mapping every URL to a tested redirect before it happens for real. The migrations that go wrong are almost always missing one of these steps.
How long does a Wix to WordPress migration take?
Most small-to-mid-size Wix sites take 4 to 8 weeks. Sites with heavy custom functionality, bookings, ecommerce or years of blog content sit at the longer end; simpler brochure sites move faster.
Will I lose my Google rankings moving off Wix?
Not if redirects are done properly. Wix’s URL structure needs specific mapping to WordPress’s permalink structure. We build the full redirect map, test it through a crawler pre-launch, migrate metadata and structured data, and monitor Search Console through the first few weeks post-launch.
Why do businesses actually move off Wix?
Ownership is usually the real driver — Wix is a rented platform, and you’re limited to what its editor and app marketplace can do. WordPress gives you your own hosting, full design and functionality control, and no monthly platform fee tied to keeping your own content online.
FAQ
Questions, answered.
Will my site go offline during the migration?
No — your Wix site keeps running until the moment we cut over. We build the new WordPress site in parallel and run a final content sync the night before launch.
Can you migrate my Wix blog?
Yes — blog posts, categories, tags and author information all move across, with URLs mapped to WordPress’s structure and redirects in place.
What happens to my Wix forms and bookings?
We audit every form and booking widget in use and rebuild them with WordPress-native tools or the right plugin, so nothing quietly stops working after launch.
Will my design look the same, or can it be improved?
Both are options — we can rebuild your existing design faithfully, or use the migration as an opportunity for a refresh. That’s entirely your call.
Do I need to know WordPress to manage the site afterwards?
No — we set the site up with the same kind of easy page and content editing Wix offered, just without the platform lock-in.
Is there a lock-in contract?
No — a migration is a one-off project. Ongoing support or WordPress management afterwards is billed separately and month to month.
What happens if something goes wrong after launch?
We monitor closely in the days immediately after cutover — rankings, crawl errors, broken links, form submissions — specifically to catch and fix issues fast.
Do you only work with businesses in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, the Gold Coast, Canberra and Hobart?
No — those are simply the cities where migration risk and complexity differ enough to be worth calling out specifically. We handle Wix to WordPress migrations for businesses anywhere in Australia; the plan is built around your actual site, wherever you are.
