Wix&#8217;s builder does a great job of introducing people to web design and WYSIWYG page builders. As a consequence, switching to WordPress&#8217; less intuitive way of creating websites can be a difficult choice to make.<\/p><p>Without a page builder plugin, WordPress offers limited design functionality for those unfamiliar with HTML and CSS. While it does use a WYSIWYG editor for page content, there are some elements of the design you can not control without diving into files and templates.<\/p><p>Themes often come with customization options, but these are usually limited to changing <a href=\"https:\/\/elementor.com\/blog\/v010-more-colorful\/\">color and style<\/a>, not the content and layout of pages.<\/p><p>There is Gutenberg, WordPress&#8217; latest editor, to create simple block-based layouts from your dashboard. However, that&#8217;s its only similarity to page builders. All the other features you&#8217;d expect, like the ability to change the size of blocks or pixel-perfect placement, are missing.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-d4dca5d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"d4dca5d\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4ce32b4\" data-id=\"4ce32b4\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-87c1f43 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"87c1f43\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Enter Elementor<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-56501d2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"56501d2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>That\u2019s where page building plugins like Elementor come in.

Sounds easy, right? Yet, it does come with quite a few downsides. The main one is that moving massive amounts of data doesn&#8217;t come cheap. The larger your site, the more it will cost.<\/p><p>And while automation takes out a majority of the work, it also often results in occasional formatting errors and broken links. You&#8217;ll need to go back and review every page that was migrated to check for problems.<\/p><p>Manual migration, on the other hand, costs nothing but time. All you need to do is copy each page\u2019s content and paste it into its own <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/elementor.com\/blog\/post-vs-page\/\"   title=\"WordPress Post vs. Page: A Comprehensive Breakdown\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"26341\">WordPress post<\/a>. Time-consuming and tedious, but free. You&#8217;ll also be able to go over formatting and fix links as you paste each page.<\/p><p>If you have a huge Wix site or are short on time, automated migration might be best. It&#8217;ll get the job done quickly and without hassle. But if your site is small or you just can&#8217;t afford the cost of automated migration, manual is the way to go.<\/p><p>Either way, we&#8217;ll walk you through both processes step by step.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-5d692af elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5d692af\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f18083d\" data-id=\"f18083d\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6bcbc98 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6bcbc98\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Automated Migration with CMS2CMS<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d7d3929 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d7d3929\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>If you\u2019re going the automated route, you\u2019ll need to install a plugin to do the heavy lifting.

Click it, and the page will load with a widget bar on the left and a WYSIWYG editor on the right.<\/p><p>Now let\u2019s start designing with Elementor! The interface is simple: <strong>sections<\/strong> mark large areas of the page, <strong>columns<\/strong> go inside sections, and <strong>widgets<\/strong> go inside columns. Using these elements, it\u2019s easy to create block-based designs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e080921 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"e080921\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/elementor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/elementor\/thumbs\/nb_mww_8-r4q6wowsgyherncuiz1l2ldkduftg86srok329muuk.png\" title=\"nb_mww_8\" alt=\"nb_mww_8\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5881b8b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5881b8b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Click the plus button within the editor interface to create a section.
