Migration To WordPress

We migrate any website to WordPress

Stuck on a platform that’s charging you too much, capping your SEO, or making you call a developer for every small update? We move your site to WordPress with your content and rankings intact. Most migrations run 2-8 weeks and start at $3k.

Website migration shouldn’t be intimidating. If you’re on a platform that’s charging you too much, limiting your design, or requiring a developer for every small update, we can move you to WordPress without losing your content, your rankings, or your mind.

Why us

Why WordPress

We’ve launched 700+ WordPress sites since 2002, and we still get asked “why WordPress?” almost every week. Here’s the straight answer.

Migration specifically has been part of what we do for 20+ years. Sites off Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, HubSpot CMS, Drupal, Joomla, Sitecore, Umbraco, static HTML, custom-built CMSes, and everything in between. That kind of range matters because the risky part of a migration isn't WordPress -- it's untangling whatever the old platform was doing.

WordPress powers 43.5% of all websites on the internet, and 63% of all CMS-powered sites run on it. That’s not a coincidence or a marketing stat we like to repeat -- it’s the result of WordPress being open source, so you’re not paying a licensing fee to a vendor who can raise prices whenever they want. The plugin and theme ecosystem is enormous (almost anything you want to build has already been built by someone; it just needs the right setup). Your content team can update pages, publish blog posts, and manage the site without calling a developer every time. And because you own the code and the hosting, you’re never locked into one company’s roadmap.

There’s also the longevity angle. WordPress has been around since 2003 and isn’t going anywhere. Platforms get acquired, sunset, or repriced overnight; open source software built by a massive community doesn’t disappear because one company changed strategy.

None of that means WordPress runs itself. It’s a serious piece of software that needs a team who knows what they’re doing. That’s the part most agencies skip, and it’s the part we don’t.

Overview

Platforms we migrate from

We’ve moved sites off nearly every platform out there. Some of these migrations take a few weeks. Others take a few months. All of them follow the same process.

Don’t see your platform listed? Call us anyway. If it has a database and a front end, we can probably move it.

Process

The CyberOptik migration process

We run every migration through the same Optik Method we use for new builds, adjusted for the fact that you already have a live site people depend on.

One promise we make on every single migration: we take a full backup of your existing site before we touch anything. Your live site stays untouched while we build in staging -- if anything ever needed to be rolled back, the original is safe and waiting.

Step 01

Free scoping call

A free 20-30 minute call before anything's quoted. We look at your current site together, understand what you're working with, and give you a real timeline and price. If we're not the right fit, we say so on the call.

Step 02

Audit

We go through your current site page by page: content, URLs, forms, integrations, media, and anything custom that was bolted on over the years.

Step 03

Plan

We map every old URL to its new WordPress equivalent and build a redirect plan before we touch anything else.

Step 04

Build

We stand up WordPress on the right hosting, migrate content, and rebuild your design and functionality in a staging environment your live site never sees.

Step 05

Test

Every form, every page template, every integration gets checked against a 75-point QA list. Nothing goes live with a broken contact form.

Step 06

Launch

We cut over during a low-traffic window, verify DNS and SSL, and confirm the new site is live and fast.

Step 07

Handoff

We walk your team through the WordPress dashboard so editing pages, publishing blog posts, and managing media isn’t a mystery. Nobody gets handed a fresh WordPress admin and left to figure it out.

You approve the site before it goes live -- we don’t surprise you with a launch you weren’t ready for. And everything we protect along the way (your SEO, your content, your integrations, your uptime) gets checked off before we call a migration done.

Timeline & investment

What to expect

We'll give you a real number once we've actually looked at your site, not a guess. Every quote comes after a free 20-30 min call.

Timeline

  • Small sites: 2-4 weeks. Brochure sites, straightforward content, no unusual functionality.
  • Medium sites: 4-6 weeks. More pages, more content, a couple of integrations to carry over.
  • Large or complex sites: 6-12 weeks. Custom functionality, heavy content libraries, multi-language, or lots of integrations.
  • Enterprise migrations: phased over months. We'll scope it straight, in real segments, so nothing important goes live half-baked.

Investment

  • Migrations start at $3k. Simple brochure sites usually land here.
  • Larger or custom projects go up from there. We quote after we look at your site, not before.
  • Everything's fixed-fee. No hourly billing, no surprises.
  • Post-migration support is available. Hosting, care plans, and hands-on WordPress support are all in-house if you want them after launch. You're not orphaned once the site goes live.

Is this right for you?

Who WordPress migration is (and isn't) a fit for

We'd rather turn down a bad fit than sell you the wrong thing. Here's the straight cut.

You're a fit if

  • You're outgrowing your current platform's design, SEO, or pricing model
  • You want to own your site outright, not rent it from a vendor
  • Your team needs to update content without paying a developer every time
  • You have custom functionality your current platform can't handle
  • You're planning to grow and don't want to move again in two years

You probably don't need this if

  • Your site is a simple 3-page brochure and you don't need to rank
  • You're happy with your current platform and never touch the site
  • You genuinely just need a placeholder site for a year or two

If that's you, we'll say so on our first call. No hard sell.

Good to know

FAQs

Why should I migrate to WordPress?

Because you’ll own your site outright: no licensing fees, no vendor lock-in, and a plugin ecosystem big enough to build almost anything without starting from scratch. Most businesses we talk to are also just tired of paying a monthly fee for a platform they can’t fully control.

How long does a WordPress migration take?

It depends on the size and complexity of your current site. A simple brochure site can move in a few weeks. A large site with custom functionality or thousands of pages takes longer, and we’ll break it into phases. We give you a real number after we look at your site, not a guess.

Will my website go offline during the move?

No. We build your new WordPress site in staging while your current site stays live and untouched. When everything’s tested and approved, we schedule the cutover for a low-traffic window.

Will my SEO rankings survive the migration?

That’s the whole point of the planning phase. We map every URL, set up 301 redirects, and carry over your metadata and structured data before launch. Done right, migrations don’t hurt rankings. Done sloppy, they tank them. We’ve done hundreds of these; we know which one you’re getting.

Can you match my current design, or should I redesign at the same time?

Either one. Some clients want a close match to what they already have so the transition is invisible to visitors. Others use the migration as the excuse they needed to finally redesign. Your call.
