Well fuck...
Just got email from Wix about another price increase for my website build plan. This time from 165e to 210e per year.
Because of all new awesome AI features.
Uh...
Anyway. Seems it's time to say the final goodbye to my website.

I will be downloading all my media from them and making lots of screenshots.
But maybe someone could advice some not too geeky way to somehow save my website build?

@Rakai first step for me was to archive the website with https://web.archive.org

Second step … ? Maybe download the html files? This might only work if the website is not too complicated. Maybe search for "download website as single html file"

Good luck

@jowodo ah yes, I also found some tutorials about downloading HTML from wix. Seems like only partial download possible. I will try during the weekend. Thanks for the archive advice!

@Rakai
Make sure you're logged into an archive.org account when you do the backup, and check every box on web.archive.org/save (except perhaps the "email me a copy" and "disable ad blocker" ones).

There also should be an option on Wix somewhere to download/backup your website (try looking for something like "Export Site" or similar within the website manager or your account settings).

@pockets @jowodo thanks for the tip! It means I'll have to make another account though... Uh

@Rakai
Another account? I don't understand.

Oh, you mean you don't already have an archive.org account?

@jowodo

[rakai@lgbtqia.space]

@pockets @jowodo as I have no account at archives. So I need to make one. To be able to login. And I HATE making new accounts.. But at least I will be getting rid of Wix one, so some positive outcome

@Rakai a tool i've used for archiving sites is http://www.httrack.com

@Rakai if you want to take a go at using a python script to do the dirty work there’s this - https://github.com/timlg07/WixScraper

Never used it so I can’t speak to the results

[rakai@lgbtqia.space]

@musing_sys thanks! Will check!

[rakai@lgbtqia.space]

@musing_sys umm, looks too much over my head, but might be doable with friend-help.
