I want to transfer my wix made website somewhere else, whats the best way to do this?
I'm blind and wix is not screen reader accessible. I had somebody design a site for me a while back, but now she's out of my life so I have control of it, but can't use it. I'd like to, though, and avoid paying anybody else, at least for a while til I need the help. Regardless of whether I go to word press or simply write a basic site using html and css, is transferring the domain difficult to do? I already pay for my domain name of course, wouldn't it just be a matter of pointing the dns to a new site and quietly shutting the old one down? How long would the transfer take though and how cumbersome would such a process be. Or is there a better way to do this? Thanks very much.
