Wix deserves a moment of professional respect: no platform in the industry is better at getting a site up in an afternoon, and none is better at making sure it never leaves. There is no export. No backup you can take elsewhere, no files to hand a new builder — the site exists inside Wix or it does not exist. For an HVAC company that has spent years building a web presence there, that is not a technical footnote; it is the whole negotiation.
How the extraction works
- Full inventory: every page, image, and URL cataloged from the outside, since the inside offers no door.
- Ground-up rebuild in the house standard — hand-coded, sub-second, built for booking rather than for the editor’s convenience.
- One-to-one redirects filed at switchover, so years of accumulated rankings transfer instead of resetting — the same discipline as any platform replacement.
- The machinery Wix never allowed: field-software integration, honest call tracking, and city-level local SEO.
What changes on day eleven
The differences are not cosmetic. Wix sites carry structural weight no setting removes — rendering choices that slow first paint on exactly the phone-in-a-hot-house visits where HVAC jobs are won, and an SEO ceiling that town-by-town competitors clear easily. The replacement loads in well under a second, books straight into your dispatch board, and reports its results in booked jobs through the dashboard — the standard of evidence this shop applies to everything, including itself.
The extraction runs the ten-day process, flat-priced, with the Wix site untouched and live until the DNS flips — no gap a customer could fall through. Price the ceiling first with the cost-per-job calculator, then call. The exit door takes ten days to build and lasts the rest of the company’s life.
