My responses are in this text colour.
Items 6, 7 & 8 are very complicated.
I imagine the reader has own ideas throughout the assessment.

Here is much of it copied.
- You have been asking about migrating https://temp-xmaknfvdxllaxakvoaku.webadorsite.com/ and I have recommended Wix.
- I have now this site https://www.ailooksatai.com/ which is almost amazing! BUT
- 7 etc are added
- However, there's very little from the old website. A very important debit.
- The usual howevers include, of course, errors. However it is a matter of getting used to it before a final list is made by me or do you do that?
- Is it possible migrate https://temp-xmaknfvdxllaxakvoaku.webadorsite.com/ via the Wix site?

- That’s great news! I'm glad you're enjoying the new Wix site.
- Transitioning from a simplified builder like Webador to a powerhouse like Wix is definitely a "learning curve" moment, but the creative freedom you get in return is worth the occasional error message.!

- To migrate your old content from your temporary Webador site to your new Wix site, it’s important to know that there is no "one-click" button to move the entire design.
- Because they use different technologies, you have to move the "soul" of the site (the content) manually or via domain connection.
5
Here is the best strategy to handle this:
5.1 The Content "Lift and Shift"
- Since Wix doesn't have an automated importer for Webador, you’ll need to recreate your pages.
- The Pro Move: Open both site editors in two different browser tabs.
- Text & Images: Copy and paste your text directly. For images, it’s best to download the originals from Webador (or your computer) and upload them to the Wix Media Manager to ensure they stay high-quality.
- Design: Use Wix’s Sections or Templates to mimic your old layout. Since you already like the new Wix site, you might find it easier to just use the new design and drop the old info into it.
5.2 Moving the "Address" (The Domain)
5.2.1
If you want your old audience to find you at the new site, you have two choices for your domain:
5.2.1.1
- Option A: Pointing (Fastest): You keep the domain registered at Webador but "point" it to Wix. In your Webador dashboard, you would update the DNS records.
- A Record: Point to 185.230.63.107 Does nothing
- CNAME Record: Point www to pointing.wixdns.net DITTO
5.2.1.2
Option B: Transfer (Recommended): You move the domain entirely to Wix so you only pay one bill. You’ll need to ask Webador for an EPP/Transfer Code and then "Import Domain" inside your Wix settings.
5.2.1.3
Handling SEO (Don't lose your ranking)
If your Webador site was already showing up in Google searches, you don't want those links to break. It wasn't showing any readers via statistics
5.2.1.4
- Once you’ve built the pages on Wix, use the Wix SEO Setup Checklist.
- Set up 301 Redirects (found in Wix Marketing & SEO settings) so that if someone clicks an old link to temp-site.com/about, it automatically sends them to ailooksatai.com/about.
- Note: Webador usually requires you to have a paid plan to access DNS settings or to "unlock" a domain for transfer.
- Check your current Webador subscription level before starting the move.goog_1716648529 ??
Would you like me to walk you through how to set up those 301 redirects specifically so you don't lose any visitors during the move?
YES

Helpful Table:
- Common Redirects
- Gemini said
- Perfect! Setting up 301 redirects is like giving the post office a "forwarding address" so your visitors (and Google) don't get lost.
- Since you're moving from a temporary URL to a brand-new site, you’ll want to do this after you've built the corresponding pages on Wix.
- Step-by-Step: The Wix URL Redirect Manager
- Open your Wix Dashboard: Go to your site's dashboard (not the editor).
- Navigate to SEO Tools: On the left-hand menu, scroll down to Marketing & SEO and select SEO.
- Find the Redirect Manager: Scroll down to the "Tools and settings" section and click on URL Redirect Manager.
- Create a New Redirect: Click the + New Redirect button.
- Fill in the Paths: * Old URL: Enter the path from your Webador site (e.g., /contact-us).
- New URL: Search for the corresponding page on your new Wix site (e.g., Contact).
- Save: Click Save.
- Pro-Tips for a Smooth Move
- Relative Paths Only: You don't need to type https://www.ailooksatai.com/. Just use the part after the slash, like /services or /portfolio. ????
- The Homepage Rule: Note that Wix usually doesn't allow you to redirect the exact homepage of one domain to a sub-page of another via this tool. To redirect the entire domain, you should use the Domain Forwarding setting in your Wix Domain settings once the old domain is connected.
- Bulk Import: If you have dozens of pages, don't do them one by one. In the URL Redirect Manager, click More Actions > Import Redirects. You can upload a simple CSV file with two columns: Old URL and New URL.
- Helpful Table: Common Redirects
- Old Path (Webador) New Path (Wix) Why?
- /about-us /about Keeps your "About" traffic alive.
- /galleries /portfolio Directs users to your new showcase.
- /any-broken-link / (Home) Prevents users from seeing a 404 Error.

7.1
Would you like me to create a template for a CSV file so you can just fill it out and upload all your redirects at once?
yes
7.2 How to Create the File ????
- Open Google Sheets or Excel.
- In Column A, list your old page extensions (everything after the .com).
- In Column B, list the corresponding new page extensions on your Wix site.
- Go to File > Download (or Save As) > Comma Separated Values (.csv).
- How to Upload to Wix
- Once your file is ready:
- Go to your Wix Dashboard.
- Go to Marketing & SEO > SEO > URL Redirect Manager.
- Click More Actions in the top right corner.
- Select Import Redirects.
- Upload your CSV file. Wix will automatically pair them up!

A Quick Check
Before you upload, make sure your Wix pages are "Published." If a page isn't live yet, the redirect might lead to a 404 error page.
9
Would you like me to help you map out specific URLs if you give me a list of the pages you had on your Webador site?

Most of all this is too complicated.
