Transferring a website to WordPress

    Hello,

    I am looking to transfer my website from Wix to word press. I have a paid subscription with Wix that will expire next month. I want to ask if there is an option to choose one of your premium website templates and get the website ready before publishing and then upgrade to the business subscription. We are a small business and paying in one month for both subscriptions before the website is ready won’t be wise. Our current domain is
    https://www.thinkofood.com/

    Please advise what can be done to smother the transition and save on unnecessary costs.

    Thank you very much, Chef Andrey

    WP.com: Yes
    Jetpack: No
    Correct account: Yes

    Hi there, Chef Andrey!

    What a great site you got going there :-) Happy to hear that you are working on moving your site to WordPress.com. I would be happy to provide some recommendations here.

    To start here, I do want to mention that we have a built in importer that allows you to import content from a Wix site to WordPress.com. You can find a full guide that goes over how to use that here:

    Our Wix Importer is a quick way to move your content. All you have to do is provide your Wix site’s web address (called a URL). When the import is complete, you’ll have a site that’s pre-filled with your content and ready to be your new home on the web.

    We will attempt to import as much of your content as possible, but there is some functionality that does not transfer over. We’ll continue to add support, so if there’s an important element that isn’t incorporated into your new site, please reach out to us and let us know about it!

    Lastly, I wanted to see if you were aware of our service, called Built By Express, which is a service that would allow you to hire WordPress.com professionals to build your site for you, with the specifications you desire. If you were to signup for this service, which starts at $499, our professional team of builders can build you a website with 5 custom pages, and deliver that site to you within 4 business days. Is this something you would be interested in?

    If so, you can get started here:

    Let me know if you have any questions!
