I am currently manually copying a website off of Wix after trying to find a tool that does an export.
I took it over from a client after their previous webdesigner very obviously struggled to make a half decent website with it.
The whole thing is a bunch of images, a menu and maybe one page worth of text alltogether - basically a small product catalog. But even that ,because of the convoluted code Wix creates, is impossible to export in a half-maintainable way.
And I have checked - it´s not just the webdesigner´s fault - I mean, I´ve tried to open the wix editing tool, and it uses so much memory that it regularily crashed the chrome tab that I had opened it in.
It´s really one of the worst tools that I have ever used (I am sure there is worse - but I haven´t used it).
And to quote from their documentation:
https://support.wix.com/en/article/wix-editor-downloading-a-page-from-your-site https://support.wix.com/en/article/wix-editor-downloading-a-...
Wix does not support the exporting of files created using Wix to an external destination or host. All
Wix creations are hosted on Wix's servers. The advantages of using Wix as your host include
improvements to your site's loading time, search engine optimization and more.
So I don´t really know what he is even talking about in that "Open letter"
Edit: and to add "improvements to your site's loading time, search engine optimization and more." my ass...
