🧩 Question: How to Set Up a 301 Redirect in Wix Without Affecting Important Subdirectories

Hi everyone,

I’m working on a domain transition and hoping someone here has run into something similar or has a best-practice solution.

We’re moving our main domain from mc3.com to sendingcell.com, and we’d like to implement a 301 redirect to preserve SEO and direct all traffic to the new site.

However, here’s the catch:
There are specific subdirectories under mc3.com (like /clientportal, /midyearpoa, etc.) that are still in use and should not be redirected. These are live client-facing pages that need to remain functional — at least for now.

So far, I understand that:

  • Wix supports path-based redirects through the Redirect Manager
  • But I’m not sure how (or if) Wix can handle a global 301 redirect for the domain while allowing exclusions for specific paths
  • We’re managing DNS through AWS Route 53, and both sites are hosted in Wix Studio

Has anyone successfully done something like this in Wix Studio or with Velo? Can Wix’s infrastructure support conditional redirects at this level — or does this kind of logic need to be handled completely outside of Wix?

Really appreciate any insights, solutions, or workarounds. Thanks in advance! :folded_hands:
