WordPress gets harder to manage over time
It starts simple, then the plugins pile up, the updates break things, and keeping it secure becomes a part-time job.
What you're probably dealing with
- Plugin updates breaking things at random
- Security vulnerabilities requiring urgent patches
- Slow page loads from bloated plugins
- A clunky editor that fights your content layout
- Hosting limits and mystery PHP errors
What you get after migrating
- No plugins needed — functionality is built-in or custom-coded
- Much stronger security with far fewer attack surfaces
- Fast page loads that help your Google rankings
- A clean, intuitive editor your whole team can use
- Modern platform that scales as your business grows
Everything taken care of
You don't need to lift a finger. I handle every part of the migration so you can keep running your business.
All content moved over
Every page, post, image, document, and file migrated to your new site. I preserve your folder structure and make sure every internal link still works.
- Pages, posts & custom content types
- Images & media library
- Internal links checked & fixed
Google rankings protected
I set up proper 301 redirects, preserve your URL structure where possible, and carry across all your meta titles and descriptions so you don't lose ground with Google.
- 301 redirects for every old URL
- Meta titles & descriptions carried over
- Sitemap & Search Console updated
Launch with zero downtime
Your WordPress site stays live throughout. I build the new site on a staging server, test everything thoroughly, then switch over — with only a short DNS change window.
- Full staging & testing before launch
- Your approval required before going live
- Training & handover included
Smooth migration in 4 steps
Keep your content, preserve your SEO, upgrade everything else. Most migrations complete in 4–8 weeks.
Content audit & planning
I analyse your WordPress site — pages, posts, media, custom fields, and any plugin functionality you rely on. From this I create a detailed migration plan with a clear timeline and fixed price.
Build your new site
I design and build your new site on a staging server — faster, cleaner, with an editor you'll actually enjoy using. Your live WordPress site stays untouched throughout.
Migrate & test everything
All content and media transferred, redirects set up, SEO data carried over. I test every page, every form, every link before you review and sign off on launch.
Launch & training
I switch the DNS at a time that suits you. I'll walk you through the new editor, make sure you're comfortable, and stay available for questions as you settle in.
Your migration handled by someone who's done it before.
I've migrated dozens of WordPress sites to Wagtail. I know the pitfalls, the edge cases, and exactly how to make sure nothing gets lost. You get one person who handles everything — and stays available after the switch.

Things people usually ask
Will I lose my Google rankings?
Not if done properly. I set up 301 redirects for every URL, carry over all your meta data, and submit an updated sitemap. Most sites actually see rankings improve after migration because the new platform is faster.
How long does it take?
Most migrations take 4–8 weeks depending on site size and complexity. I'll give you a clear timeline before we start, and I work in phases so you can review progress as we go.
What about my plugins and functionality?
I rebuild the things your business actually needs — contact forms, booking tools, SEO, e-commerce — directly in the new platform. This is more reliable and more secure than plugins. I'll audit everything upfront so nothing gets missed.
Will there be any downtime?
No. Your WordPress site stays live the whole time. Once the new site is fully tested and you've approved it, I switch DNS — which typically takes 1–4 hours. I schedule this at a quiet time for your business.
Is the new editor hard to learn?
Most clients find it easier than WordPress. The interface is cleaner and there's no maze of plugin settings to navigate. I provide hands-on training and written documentation so your team is comfortable from day one.
What if something goes wrong after launch?
I stay available. Every migration includes managed hosting, daily backups, and next business day support — so if anything ever isn't right, you've got one person to call who knows your site inside out.
