Cliux vs Readymag
Pick Cliux if you want a freeform canvas with a store, bookings, a blog and memberships behind it, priced without a views meter. Pick Readymag if you want a design tool with animations, typography controls, code export and a free plan that publishes one site.
In Readymag’s own words: “A human-powered design tool for creating distinctive websites”

Moving over
How a move from Readymag works
There is no import tool. This is what a switch involves, step by step.
There is no import tool, and Readymag's code export on Advanced is not something Cliux reads. Both editors are canvases, so the layout thinking carries over; open the Readymag project beside a new Cliux site and rebuild each page.
Publish on your free Cliux address, share the password-protected preview with whoever signs off, and keep the old site live until you are happy.
Point your own domain at Cliux: two DNS records, and the certificate is issued for you; the Cliux address keeps working beside it.
