B*tchwork my AI Did for Me - Part 34: It Rebuilt Every Showit Page I Still Used Before a $355.34 Renewal
Showit told me it was about to charge me again. I told my AI to find every page I still used, rebuild it outside Showit, keep the same links and Flodesk forms, save every old file, and cancel only after the final backup was safe.
Showit emailed me at 9:00 in the morning.
My yearly plan was set to renew on July 24. The new total was $355.34.
Ten days away.
I still had live offer pages sitting inside Showit. They had old links people already knew. Two of them sent leads into Flodesk. One sold my Instagram course. They had tracking codes, images, forms, a checkout link, and years of old design files behind them.
Moving a site sounds simple until you list all the little things that can break.
A page can look right and still send a lead nowhere. A new link can work while the old link dies. A domain can point to the wrong host. A tracking code can vanish. A form can stop feeding the email list. A rushed cancel can wipe out the one file you forgot to save.
That is exactly the kind of work I do not want living in my head.
So I handed the whole move to my AI.
I told it to find the Showit pages that still had traffic, rebuild those pages outside Showit, make them better, keep every exact URL, reconnect the old Flodesk forms, preserve the tracking, move the domains, save every design and media file, and test the live result.
Then I gave it one hard rule.
Do not cancel Showit until the private WordPress backup is safely downloaded and checked.
The same day, the three pages I still used were running outside Showit. The old links still worked. Both Flodesk forms were still wired to the same lists. The course checkout still worked. All four live URLs returned a clean 200, which means the page loaded correctly. The build passed 15 out of 15 tests.
My AI also made a backup with all four Showit design exports, every file in my Showit Media Library, old page copies, invoices, private blog data, and a list of checksums that can prove the files did not change.
That is the full breakdown.
The pretty page was the easy part. The real job was moving every form, link, file, tracker, and domain without letting one quiet break follow me out the door.
What this article gives you
I am going to show you the full move in plain words. You will see what I asked my AI to do, what it rebuilt, what it saved, what went wrong, what still needed me, and the checks that kept me from canceling too soon.
You will also get a prompt you can copy if you want to leave Showit, Squarespace, Wix, or another site builder without losing your links, forms, or files.
Who this is for
This is for you if:
You pay for a site builder but only use a few live pages.
You want a site that looks more custom than the templates you keep fighting.
You have forms, pixels, old links, or downloads that make moving feel risky.
You keep paying for a tool because canceling it sounds like a full weekend of work.
You want AI to handle the build and the checks while you keep the final say.
Why you can trust this story
This was not a test site. These were live Liz on the Web pages.
The Instagram Growth Playbook still lives at offers.lizontheweb.com/algo. The Online Income Launchpad still lives at offers.lizontheweb.com/launchtomu. Instagram Edge still lives at offers.lizontheweb.com/edge-1, and the course link at courses.lizontheweb.com/edge still works too.
The new pages are live. The old URLs return 200. The forms still point to the same Flodesk form IDs. The site tests passed 15 out of 15. The backup holds more than 250 files, and every checksum passed.
The account is canceled too. The private WordPress XML passed its file check. The media backup ZIP opened with no errors. Showit says the plan will end July 24, 2026. Its billing agent also confirmed in writing that renewal is off and there will be no more charges unless I turn renewal back on.
