Move from a website builder

Leave the builder. Keep your Google rankings.

We move landing pages and simple business sites from Wix, Squarespace or WordPress to your own fast website. Same content, better design, every old link redirected, domain and email keep working. Then no more monthly bills.

Why move

You pay every month for a slower site.

49 → 95+

A faster site

The builder sites we measured average 49 out of 100 on Google mobile speed. Every site we hand over scores 95–100.

$0 / month

No builder bill

Wix and Squarespace cost $17–159 a month. Your own site runs on free hosting: you only pay for the domain.

100% yours

Every login in your name

Code, hosting and domain are yours from day one. Move it, change it or hand it to anyone, any time.

Builder or your own site?

A builder rents you a site. Your own site is yours.

Builders are fine for a hobby. For a business, you pay every month for a slower site that you never really own.

FAQ

Fair questions.

Will I lose my Google rankings?

Not if the move is done right. We keep your page addresses where we can and redirect every old one, keep your titles and descriptions, and the faster site usually ranks better afterwards.

What happens to my email?

It keeps working. Email lives with your domain, not with the builder, and we move the domain settings carefully so nothing breaks.

How long does it take?

Usually 1–2 weeks, depending on the number of pages. Your old site stays live until the switch.

I have a blog, booking or an online store.

Blog posts move with the site. Booking and payments get connected again with Stripe or the tool you use. Large stores are a different job: write to us and we’ll tell you honestly.

Do I pay monthly after the move?

No. You pay once for the move. After that there is only your domain, about $20 a year, paid straight to the registrar in your name. Changes are $45 an hour, only when you ask.

Can I edit the site myself afterwards?

Yes. You can edit it with an AI assistant in plain words, or ask us: changes are $45 an hour.

Something else? Just ask, we reply within a day.
