WordPress Migration

Move your existing WordPress site onto a faster, safer stack without losing content, URLs, or rankings.

From the outside, nothing changes. Same design, same content, same URLs. Underneath, everything does.

WordPress accumulates risk quietly. Every plugin is another maintainer, another update cycle, another way in. Most breaches trace back to an outdated plugin nobody thought to update. We move you onto a stack with no plugin layer to exploit, monitored dependencies, and security headers configured at the platform level.

It's faster (no plugin bloat, no tracking scripts slowing the first paint), more accessible (built and tested to WCAG 2.1 AA instead of hoping the theme handles it), and actually yours. The full codebase lives in your own repository, not locked to a theme or plugin ecosystem you're renting access to.

It's also built for how people find things now. Structured data and an llms.txt file mean AI assistants can read and cite your site accurately, not just Google. And it's built to your site's actual structure, not squeezed into a page-builder's box.

What's Included

  • Migrating your pages, posts, and media across intact
  • Preserving existing URLs and setting up redirects so your SEO holds
  • A faster, more secure, more accessible foundation without the constant plugin updates

Fewer than 5 pages? Reach out for a custom quote rather than the flat rate. A small site usually needs a different shape of engagement.

What It's Not

A migration, not a redesign. If your site also needs new structure, content, or strategy, we'll tell you that up front and scope it separately. No surprise add-ons.

Who It's For

Teams on WordPress who want off the maintenance treadmill but like their current content and want to keep it, and want the parts you can't see to finally be trustworthy.

Common Questions

No. Visually it's the same site. What changes is everything underneath: security, performance, accessibility, and ownership.

That's the whole point of the redirect and URL preservation work. Existing URLs and redirects are set up specifically so rankings hold.

Reach out for a custom quote instead of the flat $3,000 rate. A small site usually needs a different shape of engagement, and we'll price it plainly.

We handle the technical move. You'll want to be reachable to confirm content and give final sign-off before we cut over, but this isn't a project that needs your daily involvement.
