WordPress migrations

Move off WordPress.
Keep every ranking.

The migration most agencies are nervous about — done without losing a single URL, redirect or position in Google. We proved it on a twelve-year, three-language archive. We can do it for you.

Why move

WordPress got you here. It won't get you there.

If your site is slow, fragile or holding your brand back, the platform is usually the reason. Here's what changes when you move.

WHY 0101

Speed you can measure

Page-builders bolt their weight onto every page. A hand-built site ships a fraction of the code — and we publish the Lighthouse numbers to prove it.

WHY 0202

No more plugin spaghetti

Every plugin is a lock, a fee and a security hole waiting to happen. We replace the stack with clean code that does exactly what you need and nothing you don't.

WHY 0303

Yours, with no monthly ransom

You leave with standard code you own outright — host it anywhere, hire anyone. No proprietary builder holding your business hostage.

The whole point

Your rankings come with you.

Losing SEO is the one real risk in a migration — so it's the thing we engineer against hardest. This is how a decade of rankings survives the move intact.

A 301 for every URL

We crawl your whole site and map every existing address to its new home with a permanent redirect — old links, shared posts and bookmarks all keep working.

Zero gaps, verified

Before launch we diff the old URL list against the redirect map and test every one. Nothing 404s on the day. We don't guess — we check.

Structure & metadata intact

Titles, descriptions, headings, canonical tags, sitemaps and structured data carry over, so Google recognises the same site — only faster.

Search Console handover

We watch coverage and performance in Search Console through the switch and after, so any wobble is caught and fixed early. Usually there's nothing to fix.

Proof, not promises

A real migration, dragged into view.

The Crazy Travel — a twelve-year travel blog moved off WordPress. Same homepage, before and after.

After · Next.jsBefore · WordPressBefore · WordPressAfter · Next.js
The same homepage, before and after — real screenshots, drag to compare. The rebuild took Lighthouse from 61 to 94 and cut load time by 3–4×.
How a migration runs

Careful, in four moves.

01

Audit & inventory

We capture every URL, your top-ranking pages and current Lighthouse scores — the baseline we'll protect and beat.

02

Rebuild custom

A fast, hand-coded Next.js site with your content migrated to clean, editable Markdown or a CMS.

03

Map & redirect

Every old URL gets a 301 to its new home, verified end to end before anyone flips the switch.

04

Launch & watch

We cut over carefully and monitor Search Console and analytics — confirming Google only noticed the speed.
