Wix to Webflow: your blog export is capped at 20 posts
Wix has no blog export. The RSS feed is the workaround and it carries the 20 most recent posts, which makes post count the main cost driver rather than design. Most Wix quotes are written without knowing that.
Wix migrations are the ones most often mispriced, and there is a single reason for it. On every other platform the content moves easily and the features are the project. Here it inverts: the features are usually simple and getting the content out is the work.
The blog, precisely
You will read that Wix blog posts cannot be exported. That is nearly right and the imprecision costs money, so here is the exact position. There is no structured blog export. There is an RSS feed, published at your blog URL plus /blog-feed.xml, and it carries the full HTML body of each post along with titles and publish dates. Wix caps that feed at the 20 most recent posts, and raising the cap is an open feature request rather than a setting.
# Check the cap before you quote. Two numbers decide the project.
# 1. How many posts exist, from the sitemap
curl -s https://example.com/blog-feed.xml | grep -c "<item>"
# -> 20 is the ceiling, not the count. If it returns 20, assume more.
# 2. How many there really are. Wix splits its sitemap, so read the
# index first and follow whichever child covers blog posts.
curl -s https://example.com/sitemap.xml | grep -o "<loc>[^<]*</loc>"
curl -s https://example.com/blog-posts-sitemap.xml | grep -c "<loc>"
# The gap between those two numbers is the manual extraction,
# and it is the line item most Wix quotes are missing.What does export cleanly
| Content | Route out | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| CMS collections | CSV, from the collection's own actions menu | Clean |
| Store products | Dashboard export | Clean, remodel rather than retype |
| Blog posts | RSS feed only | 20 most recent |
| Static page content | Manual copy or browser extraction | Time scales with page count |
| Images | Media gallery, singly or in bulk | Filenames rarely survive usefully |
| Page-level SEO settings | None | Re-entered from a crawl |
Why this changes the quote and not just the plan
On a WordPress or Squarespace migration, doubling the post count barely moves the price: an import of 400 posts costs about what an import of 40 costs. On Wix it moves the price almost linearly past the first twenty, because everything after that is extraction. A site with six posts is a small job. A site with two hundred is a different job with a different shape, and quoting it from the design will be wrong by a wide margin.
Any Wix quote written without a post count is a guess. It is the one number that decides the size of the project, and it takes thirty seconds to get.
The decision worth taking deliberately
On a large Wix blog it is often cheaper to be selective. Migrating the posts that still earn traffic and archiving the rest is a legitimate decision, and it is a far better one taken during the audit than discovered halfway through a manual copy. Pull the top pages by organic traffic, migrate those properly, and redirect the rest to the nearest surviving equivalent rather than to the homepage.
Old Wix URLs are not pattern-regular, so the redirect map is built from a crawl rather than written from a rule. That is the other line item worth naming out loud before anyone signs anything. The step-by-step is on the Wix to Webflow migration page, and the platform where the trade-off runs the other way is covered in Squarespace to Webflow.
