  Hello there,

  In order to transfer a domain away from Wix, you would need to follow these instructions here: https://support.wix.com/en/article/transferring-your-wix-domain-away-from-wix-2477749

  Can you tell us more about the website you’re looking to build please?

  We may be able to offer some insights on how best to go about that.

  A website I owned drpriyaaesthetics.co.uk is still with wix. I want to build the same website in WordPress and transfer the domain name to wordpress.com. Possible? Please reply.

  Hi there,

  You indeed can migrate your site from Wix over to WordPress.com. You would have to select a new theme from WordPress.com because themes from Wix cannot be imported, but the process is pretty straightforward. Our support page provides step by step instructions on how to transfer your site content:

  Import from Wix

  And as @aleone89 provided, for instructions on how to transfer your domain away from Wix and to WordPress.com, please visit Wix support page:

  https://support.wix.com/en/article/transferring-your-wix-domain-away-from-wix-2477749

  As well as WordPress.com’s support page on incoming domain transfers:

  Please take a look at the support page and let me know if you have any questions.

  Thanks!
