How can I switch from hosting my website on Wix to using Webflow and publishing it online?

TL;DR
  • Manually recreate your site in Webflow using the Designer, since Wix content can't be exported.
  • Purchase a Webflow hosting plan and update your domain’s DNS records to point to Webflow’s A and CNAME records.
  • Enable SSL, configure domain redirects, and test your site once DNS updates propagate.

To switch from Wix to Webflow, you’ll need to recreate your site in Webflow and then point your domain to Webflow’s servers. Here’s how to do it step-by-step.

1. Rebuild Your Website in Webflow

  • Wix sites can't be exported, so you must manually recreate your design and content in Webflow.
  • Start by creating a new Webflow project and use the Webflow Designer to replicate your site layout, functions, and visual styles.
  • You can copy and paste content from your Wix site or use a spreadsheet for structured data and import into Webflow CMS (Collection Lists).

2. Set Up Hosting in Webflow

  • Go to Project Settings in your Webflow dashboard, then click on the Hosting tab.
  • Select a paid hosting plan—either Basic or CMS, depending on whether you need dynamic content like blogs.
  • After upgrading, Webflow will show you the A records and CNAME you need to update in your domain DNS.

3. Update Domain DNS Settings

  • Log into your domain registrar (e.g., GoDaddy, Namecheap, Google Domains—whoever manages your domain).

  • Replace your current Wix DNS settings with Webflow’s:

  • A records: Point to (a) 75.2.70.75 and (b) 99.83.190.102

  • CNAME record: Set www to point to proxy-ssl.webflow.com

  • Delete any old Wix DNS records that conflict with these.

  • In Webflow, set your primary domain (usually www.yourdomain.com) and click Publish.

4. Confirm SSL and Redirects

  • Enable SSL in Webflow under the Hosting tab.
  • Enable "Redirect root domain to www" (or vice versa depending on preference) to ensure a single canonical version.

5. Test and Monitor

  • Once DNS propagation is complete (can take up to 48 hours, often faster), visit your domain to test the live Webflow site.
  • Use tools like Google Search Console to re-submit your sitemap and check indexing.

Summary

To migrate from Wix to Webflow: rebuild your site in Webflow, setup Webflow hosting, and update your domain's DNS settings to point to Webflow. Once DNS changes propagate, your site will be live on your custom domain using Webflow.
