Moving off WordPress

Leave WordPress without losing what you built.

Your content, your URLs and your rankings come across. The plugin bills and the update reminders don't.

The real blocker

The thing that keeps most businesses on WordPress isn't the software. It's the fear that moving means losing years of pages and whatever position they hold in search.

That fear is reasonable and the risk is manageable. A migration maps every existing URL before anything is built, so the pages that bring you work land exactly where they did before.

What you leave behind

The plugin bills stop.

A typical business site is carrying several hundred dollars a year in licences, plus managed hosting priced for software that needs managing.

The content comes across. The subscriptions don't, and you get the list of what can be cancelled once the move is done.

How the move works

What a migration covers.

Every URL mapped first

The full list of what exists and what ranks, before a page is built. Migrations lose rankings when this step is skipped.

Content brought across

Pages, posts, images and documents. Nothing left behind on a server you're about to stop paying for.

Redirects where needed

Anything that has to change address gets a permanent redirect, so old links and old search results still work.

Subscriptions cancelled

A list of what the old site was costing you monthly and what can be turned off once the move is done.

Checked after launch

Search Console watched for the weeks after the move, so anything that slips is caught while it's still easy to fix.

Faster immediately

The same content, without the plugin stack, is usually several times faster on the first day.

FAQ

Migration questions.

Will I lose my rankings?

Not if the URLs are handled properly, and that's the whole job. Every address is mapped before the build, kept where it can be, and permanently redirected where it can't. Rankings are lost when a migration ships and only then discovers what moved.

What about my blog posts?

They come across, with their URLs, their images and their dates. If a lot of them get no traffic at all, that's worth knowing before deciding what to carry over.

How long is the site down?

It's not. The new site is built and checked in full, then the domain is pointed at it. The switch itself is minutes.

Can I still edit it afterwards?

Yes, and for most changes it's faster than WordPress was: text us and it's done. Where a site needs regular editing by several people, that gets built in.

Is WordPress ever the right answer?

Sometimes, and it's worth knowing which case you're in before paying to move. The case for and against building on WordPress goes through where it earns its keep. It also covers where the plugin stack becomes the thing you maintain instead of the business, and what the running cost is either way.
