From Wix to Next.js: Migrating a Quebec SME Website
An illustrative migration scenario from a builder to Next.js while protecting URLs, content, conversions, and SEO.
Why Consider a Migration
Limits may involve rendering, integrations, speed, content management, or the ability to test journeys. Migration is justified only when expected gains outweigh risk and a team can maintain the new foundation.
Map Before Rebuilding
Inventory indexed pages, metadata, media, forms, conversions, and external links. Prepare an old-to-new URL map and decide which pages should be kept, merged, or removed.
Build and Verify the New Version
Implement rendering, structured data, forms, redirects, and language annotations in a staging environment. Test error states, mobile devices, performance, and critical journeys.
Launch With a Monitoring Plan
After launch, check HTTP statuses, crawl errors, conversions, and performance. This scenario does not promise universal metrics: gains depend on the content and starting condition.
