Outgrown Wix or Squarespace? When to Leave
DIY platforms cap out on integrations, performance, and custom logic. Know when to migrate instead of patching.
Signs you outgrew DIY
- Need custom app or API integrations
- Checkout or booking logic does not fit templates
- Site slows with traffic or app sprawl
- SEO or URL structure limits growth
- You pay more in plugins than a proper build would cost
Migration path
Export content, map URLs, rebuild on a maintainable stack, redirect old links. Plan for downtime and email DNS if domain moves.
Common questions
Can I keep Wix and add custom code?
Sometimes for small pieces. Heavy custom work usually means leaving the platform.
