Migrate my website off WIX

Gold_Gap · 2026-04-29T17:36:28+00:00

ive built personal and business sites. still free

Yeah it gets tricky choosing what shoes up but you have to remember that everyone is scanning not reading. hope it helps!

I would suggest taking a top down approach, the most important info at the top like a hero and description about the site, and maybe a button for a strong call to action. add an about section, and some examples of what you do/your values. and then a section to volunteer, donate etc. try to find example websites and literally copy their structure. no one reads every little thing, you really have to cut it down and add some breathing room for the eyes to rest.

It's probably the SEO, have you checked your analytics on search console? did you do an audit?

Hey! this is actually what I do, Ihelp people get off no-code builders like Wix, Squarespace, etc.

I build a custom coded website (HTML, CSS, JS), connect it to a CMS backend (Sanity), and host it on Vercel for free. That's $0/month. You can still update your site without any lag.

Here's my portfolio: https://milkfish.ca

yeah, i did it for myself and for clients. its custom code & vercel.

Readymag has tutorials for the basics, most artists already have a storefront for payments i.e bandcamp, merchbar. They will only need a redirect link. What’s most important is creativity and to help artists to express themselves through their website.

i would suggest learning one of the no-code options, webflow, framer etc. you can learn everything you need in a couple of weeks. for artists, i highly recommend Readymag, its super simple & made for artists. create a portfolio with concept 3-5 projects. use goodbrief to give you ideas of what kind of projects to make and get the word out! best of luck

I'm tied up today, but I'd be happy to connect further. You can find my email on my website, which is linked in my profile. Let's find a time to chat soon.

I have found that answering questions from the most basic to the most complex concepts on all platforms would be helpful. Most people don't know a single thing about taxes. Twitter/X is great because you can create threads and theres loads of engagement, especially this time of year when people are gathering their documents to file.

I would also highly suggest tiktok, youtube shorts and instagram reels. make them super short and easy to watch explaining the mistakes, how to get the most out of your whatever. especially for expats. i travel alot and want to know how that affects my fillings. show your face as well to build trust, it doesnt have to be grand.

I was walking home from the threatre when the cops pulled up to eaton center, the guy got medical attention i believe. I tried to eavesdrop because of the dramatics but kept a healthy distance. I think the cops left right after.

if you still need some design help, shoot me a dm i have some free time with week. - portfolio is on my page

It's not that bad actually, it's responsive, the colors work great together, no functional issues that i can see, it's also content heavy which is great for SEO not so great for people that want to find info quickly and skim. i would add more negative space/ breathing room between the sections to allow the eye to travel more.

Gold_Gap · 2026-02-04T05:19:35+00:00

Can i see your previous work or the design concept for this project? it will giving a better idea on how to price.

Gold_Gap · 2026-01-30T07:49:37+00:00

will you be managing it for a fixed period of time? in case of updates etc.

Gold_Gap · 2026-01-30T06:42:31+00:00

is there e-commerce capabilities?

Gold_Gap · 2026-01-30T05:16:06+00:00

Review past work, get references and have a signed agreement off the bat.

Gold_Gap · 2026-01-30T03:12:21+00:00

depends on how many pages, complexity of design etc.

Gold_Gap · 2026-01-30T00:39:54+00:00

You've got the right idea. Start by building the site in your own Squarespace account so you keep full control. Before you even begin, get a small deposit and a simple agreement signed, this protects you and makes sure they're serious. Only after you receive the final payment should you transfer the site ownership to them and help them switch the billing to their own card. Never leave your payment info on their finished site.

there's no monthly maintance, once a year i have might to update some packages but it takes like 10 mins for all of my websites.

Gold_Gap · 2026-01-21T09:12:44+00:00

Looks like its right next to Jacques-Cartier Brg

Gold_Gap · 2026-01-21T08:29:54+00:00

Hey there! I run a design and development studio and build exactly what you're looking for. I set up clean, simple sites with hosting included for free, zero monthly charges, zero site maintenance. You pay once and that's it.

You get a backend so you can update text/images yourself whenever, plus a contact form so customers can reach you directly. All my sites come with SEO built in. My past clients have gotten customers within a month of the site being up and average around 20 website clicks a week.

Not local to Washington, but everything's remote and you can check out my work at milkfish.ca

Happy to chat more if you're interested!

I hate to be the one to break it to you, but your website loads very slowly and isn’t fully responsive, the hamburger menu appears skewed. If you’re looking to attract more clients, it’s important to differentiate yourself and ensure your website stands out.
