You Need More Control and Functionality

Move from Wix or Squarespace without starting over.

POP THE PIXEL helps Philadelphia businesses move their Wix or Squarespace websites to WordPress or Shopify. We rebuild your pages on a platform with more room to grow, bring your content with you, and handle the technical details that protect your search rankings, like redirects, page titles, and Google Search Console. Your current site stays live until the new one is ready.

Some temporary movement in rankings is normal after any migration. A planned process keeps it small and short-lived, but no one can guarantee a specific outcome.

Signs it’s Time to Switch

More SEO Control

You want more control over SEO, such as custom URLs, schema markup and technical settings beyond the basics.

Room for Growth

You need features your platform doesn’t offer, like memberships, advanced booking, custom forms, or integrations.

Better Management Tools

Your blog or page count is growing and getting harder to manage. Create new pages and blog posts easily with drag-and-drop builders.

Easier Product Management

You’re selling more products and need stronger inventory, shipping, tax, and payment tools.

More Plugins and Apps

Template limits are holding your design back. WordPress plugins and Shopify Apps allow you to truly customize your user experience.

Greater Flexibility

You want to own and control your site’s hosting, code and data. Amplify growth potential with a more robust CMS.

Develop Your New Website Seamlessly

What we move and what we rebuild.

We carry over your content: text, images, blog posts, products, and your existing page titles and meta descriptions. Your design and layout are rebuilt from scratch, because neither platform exports your design as a working theme. We use the move to improve page structure, speed, accessibility, and SEO.

Platform-specific features, such as Wix apps, Squarespace blocks, scheduling, memberships, and forms, are replaced with equivalent tools on the new site. We list these in your migration plan before work begins.

WordPress or Shopify: Which is Right for You?

WordPress: Best for service businesses, professional practices, nonprofits, and content-driven sites. WordPress offers flexible design, deep SEO control, a large plugin ecosystem, and easy page and blog management.

Shopify: Best for online stores. Shopify is built for products, inventory, checkout, shipping, and taxes, so you can focus on selling.

Not sure which fits? We’ll recommend one after reviewing your current site and your goals.

Frequently Asked Questions About Wix and Squarespace

Can you rebuild my Wix or Squarespace website on WordPress or Shopify?

Yes. We design a new website on WordPress (for service businesses and content-driven sites) or Shopify (for online stores) and move your content over from Wix or Squarespace. We keep your domain, rebuild your pages and navigation, and set up 301 redirects so visitors and search engines find your new pages without losing rankings.

Why would I move from Wix or Squarespace to WordPress or Shopify?

Wix and Squarespace work well for simple sites, but many businesses outgrow them. WordPress offers more control over SEO, design, and functionality, such as custom features, large blogs, and plugins. Shopify is built for eCommerce, with stronger tools for inventory, shipping, and payments. We’ll recommend the platform that fits your goals.

Do you build websites on WordPress or Shopify?

Both. We build service-based business and professional websites on WordPress, and online stores on Shopify. We recommend the platform that fits your goals, budget and functionality needs. See our WordPress and Shopify pages.

Will I lose my Google rankings if I switch platforms?

Not if the move is planned carefully. Rankings can drop when URLs change without redirects, so we map every old page to its new one with 301 redirects, keep your high-performing content, carry over title tags and meta descriptions, and monitor Google Search Console after launch. Some short-term fluctuation is normal after any redesign.

Can I keep my domain name and email?

Yes. Your domain stays yours, and we point it to the new site at launch. If you registered the domain through Wix or Squarespace, we can help you transfer it to a registrar you control and make sure your domain email keeps working during the switch.

What content can you transfer, and what has to be rebuilt?

Text, images, blog posts, and product information can usually be moved over. Your design and layout can’t be transferred directly, so we rebuild those on the new platform.

How long does it take to move my site, and what does it cost?

Most migrations take 4-8 weeks and start at $1,500, depending on the number of pages, products, and blog posts. After a quick review of your current site, we provide a project estimate and timeline.

Can I migrate my website myself?

Yes, for a small site it’s possible. The risk is in the details: missed redirects, lost page titles, and broken links can cost you search traffic. If your site brings in leads or sales, a planned migration protects what you’ve built. We’re happy to review your site and tell you what you’d need to handle.
