The process of exporting HTML from Wix is simple and straightforward, and it provides you with a clean and well-organized codebase to work from if you want to create a custom website. However, there are a few things to keep in mind before you begin:

PRO TIP: When exporting HTML from Wix, be aware that any code you add in Wix will be removed and that you will need to add it back in manually. Additionally, any changes you make to your site in Wix will not be reflected in the exported HTML.

-Wix uses proprietary code in their websites, meaning that not all of the code used on a Wix site will work on another site. This can make it difficult to transfer your Wix site to another platform or to edit the code in a way that is not supported by Wix.

-Wix websites are not responsive by default, meaning they are not designed to work on mobile devices. If you want your exported website to be responsive, you will need to add the appropriate code yourself.

-Wix websites do not support certain features that are commonly used on other websites, such as e-commerce or forums. If you want to add these features to your exported website, you will need to find an alternative solution or create them yourself.

Overall, exporting HTML from Wix is a good way to get a head start on creating a custom website. However, there are some limitations to keep in mind before you begin.
