Move your website without starting over.
Keep your domain, keep what was good, and leave the rest behind. Here is how the move works from the most common platforms.
The move, in four steps
Sign up
Name, email, password. Under a minute.
Build the new site
Six questions, then your own words. About an hour.

Change one or two DNS records at your registrar. We tell you exactly which.
Switch off the old one
Once the new site is live, cancel the old subscription.
Moving from Wix
Full guide to switching from Wix
Wix gives you a blank canvas and a lot of dragging. Site Shifter writes the first version for you, so you edit instead of design. If your domain was bought through Wix, you can transfer it out or point it at your new site; enquiries then arrive as clients rather than as emails in Wix.
Moving from Squarespace
Full guide to switching from Squarespace
Squarespace looks good, and so will your new site, with thirteen designs in four styles. The difference is what happens after a visitor gets in touch: every enquiry becomes a client with a name and a person assigned, and visitors can book a slot in your diary.
Moving from WordPress
Full guide to switching from WordPress
No more plugin updates, theme conflicts or security warnings. Your new site is static and fast, hosted in Europe, and there is nothing to patch. Tell us your old site address during setup and we help you bring the wording and photos across.
Moving from an agency built site
If every change to your phone number or prices means an email and an invoice, you will enjoy this. You change it yourself, in seconds, from your phone.
Questions about moving
Will I lose my Google ranking when I move?
Keep your domain and give your main pages the same addresses as before, such as /services/ or /contact/. Existing links and search results then keep pointing at the right page.
Do I have to cancel my old builder first?
No. Build the new site first, check it, then point your domain across and cancel the old subscription afterwards.
Can you move my old words and photos?
Tell us during setup and we help you bring your wording and photos across, so the new site keeps what was good about the old one.
