Taking dogl.info
into your own hands
Moving your website off Wix, keeping your address and email, and ending the yearly fee — in plain English.
Your site lives on Wix — and you pay every year
Right now dogl.info is built and hosted on Wix, with design through a paid service (Polystat) — bundling into a recurring bill of about $200+ a year.
Built on Wix
Pages and design live in the designer’s Wix account — not yours.
You own dogl.info
The domain name is yours (likely at IONOS). This is the part that matters most.
Runs via IONOS
Your @dogl.info email is already separate from Wix — we keep it working.
Own it. Edit it. Keep the name. Stop the fee.
Be in control
The website and accounts in your name — nothing held by anyone else.
Make your own edits
Update text, photos, people and publications yourself, whenever you like.
Keep dogl.info
Same web address everyone already knows. Visitors notice no change.
End the yearly bill
No more hosting/design subscription. Pay almost nothing going forward.
A Wix site can’t be “moved.” So we rebuilt it.
Wix doesn’t let you export a site to host elsewhere — there’s no download button. Your content (words and images) transfers fine; the design has to be recreated.
That part is already done — your full site has been rebuilt as a fast, modern site you’ll fully own.
Two ways forward
Your current site, rebuilt
The same look and content you have today — just off Wix and fully yours.
Open this site ↗The same site, plus your own tools
Once it’s under your control, you can build and deploy bespoke data tools — like the searchable, interactive ODSI catalog already built into this version.
Open this site ↗Click either card to open it. Start with the faithful rebuild, then add custom tools whenever you want.
Five steps, no surprises
Secure your logins
Confirm you control the domain (dogl.info) and email accounts — the foundation everything rests on.
Pick & approve the new site
Review the previews, choose a direction, and we polish it — all before anything public changes.
Flip the switch (carefully)
Point dogl.info at the new site, preserving your email throughout. Visitors see dogl.info as normal.
Confirm everything works
Check the live site and send a test email before touching anything else. Nothing is final until this passes.
Cancel Wix
Only once the new site is confirmed live do we end the Wix subscription — and the yearly fee stops.
Your @dogl.info email keeps working
When a web address moves, the biggest risk is knocking out the email attached to it. We handle this deliberately.
- ✓Your email settings are copied over exactly before the switch.
- ✓Website and mailbox are pointed separately — one won’t break the other.
- ✓We send a test email to confirm delivery before finishing.
