WordPress Designer — Wix to WordPress Migration for Luxury Interior Design Brand

I am the CEO and Principal Designer of Modern Luxe Interior Design, a boutique luxury interior design studio serving Charlotte, Cornelius and the Lake Norman areas of North Carolina. I am migrating my current Wix website www.ModernLuxeInteriorDesign.com to a custom WordPress build and am looking for a talented web designer, fluent in luxury website design (preferably luxury interior design web design experience) to compare proposals. WHAT I NEED: A Wix to WordPress migration that results in a visually elevated, luxury-caliber website — not a generic template. The site must communicate restraint, refinement, and prestige at first glance. Think less is more. Think high-end hospitality, not busy portfolio clutter. MY INTERIOR DESIGN STYLE: High-modern luxury interiors with modern & classic architectural precision. A blend of California, NYC & Miami residential styles mixed with these New York & Las Vegas hotels: The Waldorf Astoria, RH Guesthouse, Aman, the Wynn, the Ritz-Carlton & the Equinox Hotel hotel-chic, meets the warm classic interiors of Charlotte & Lake Norman NC, with modern glam, & Art Deco.

Your portfolio showing at least 2–3 luxury brand websites you have designed — interior design, architecture, high-end hospitality, luxury real estate, or premium service brands specifically. Generic business websites will not be considered. 2. Your experience with Wix to WordPress migrations specifically. 3. A brief description of which WordPress theme or builder you use and why it suits luxury aesthetics. 4. Your proposed timeline and payment structure.

Briefly describe your role on each project. Question 2 Have you completed a Wix to WordPress migration before? If yes, please describe one specific project — what challenges came up and how you handled them. Question 3 Which WordPress builder do you use for luxury brand websites, and why? How do you ensure the final result doesn’t look like a generic template? Question 4 My SEO specialist will provide a full audit and redirect blueprint before migration begins. Have you worked alongside a dedicated SEO specialist on a migration before? How did you coordinate? Question 5 What is your realistic timeline for a project of this scope, & what do you need from me to stay on schedule? IMPORTANT: I am not looking for the cheapest option. I am looking for the right designer who understands that a luxury brand website is a curated experience, not just a portfolio page. If your work speaks that language, I want to hear from you.
