Wix and Squarespace migration
Move from Wix or Squarespace to a static site
Wix and Squarespace don't export a working copy of your site, so the fastest path is a rebuild. Give an AI assistant your current URL, let it recreate the pages as static HTML, and publish to Novence. Once you're happy with the preview, point your domain. The result is a site you own, hosted free with SSL.

How do I get it online?
Step 1 · Rebuild from your live site
Ask Claude, Cursor, or ChatGPT to recreate your site from its current URL — pages, text, images, and layout.
Step 2 · Publish a preview
Deploy to Novence and compare the preview side by side with the old site.
Step 3 · Replace the extras
Use Novence Forms for contact forms, and widgets for bookings and payments.
Step 4 · Move your domain
Attach your domain on Novence and update DNS at your registrar (or where Wix or Squarespace manages it).

Why a rebuild, and why it's easy now
Wix sites only run on Wix's servers, and Squarespace's export is a WordPress XML file of text and images without your design. Neither gives you files you can host elsewhere.
AI assistants can now read your live pages and rebuild them as clean HTML in an afternoon. After that, the site is plain files you own and can take to any host, and it's yours to edit with any AI tool.
What works on Novence?
- Pages, galleries, and blog posts rebuilt as static HTML
- Contact and quote forms with Novence Forms — submissions land in your inbox
- Bookings, checkout, and analytics widgets (Cal.com, Stripe Payment Links, Snipcart, GA) pasted into your HTML
- Your existing domain, moved with two DNS records
FAQ
Can I export my Wix site?
Not as a working website. Wix sites run only on Wix. You can rebuild the site from its live pages, which an AI assistant can do quickly.
What does the Squarespace export include?
A WordPress-format XML file with basic pages, one blog, text, and images. It does not include your design, navigation, forms, or store.
Can I keep my domain?
Yes. Point it at Novence with a CNAME for www and an ALIAS or redirect for the apex. If the domain is registered through Wix or Squarespace, you can update DNS there or transfer it.
Is hosting really free after I move?
Yes. Novence Free is $0 for one site with a custom domain, SSL, and a contact form.

One prompt or one command. Your domain and SSL included on Free. No credit card.
