Data Transfer Guide

Since Atoms lacks direct export functionality, data transfer is manual. First, copy all text content page-by-page into organized documents. Download all images from Atoms' media library to your computer. For blogs or products, create spreadsheets with titles, descriptions, prices, and image references. Forms and settings must be recreated manually in Wix. Once your content is extracted, use Wix AI to generate a site structure, then paste your text into Wix Editor sections. Upload images to Wix Media Manager. For large sites, consider using Wix's bulk import tools for blogs or products if your data is properly formatted in CSV files.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I transfer my data from Atoms to Wix AI?+

Yes, but not automatically. You must manually copy text and download images from Atoms, then recreate your site in Wix AI. There's no direct import tool since Atoms doesn't offer export functionality.

How long does migration take?+

For a typical 5-10 page website, expect 4-8 hours of active work. Complex sites with blogs, products, or custom forms may require 1-2 days. DNS propagation adds 24-48 hours after launch.

Will I lose any features switching to Wix AI?+

You won't lose core features—Wix AI matches or exceeds Atoms' capabilities. However, any Atoms-specific integrations would need replacement via Wix App Market. The migration is generally feature-positive.

Can I use both tools during migration?+

Yes, and this is recommended. Keep your Atoms site live while building and testing your Wix AI site. Only switch domains when the new site is fully ready. This prevents downtime and allows parallel operation.

Is Wix AI cheaper than Atoms?+

Both have free tiers. For premium features, pricing is comparable, but Wix offers more plan options. Wix's business-focused plans provide better value for e-commerce or advanced features compared to Atoms' simpler pricing structure.
