What WordPress does well

Open source, with a huge ecosystem of themes and plugins.
Can do almost anything, given a developer and a budget.
Portable: you can move a WordPress site between hosts.

Why people move off WordPress

WordPress can do anything, and that’s the problem for a small business site that mostly needs to be fast and up to date. Every theme and plugin is another thing to update, and another way for the site to break or be hacked. Page builders like Elementor and Divi make editing easier but pages heavier.

And small changes still take effort: log in, find the page, fight the builder, or send a ticket to whoever looks after the site and wait.

What changes when you move

We rebuild your site page for page as plain, static pages: same design, same page addresses, same domain. There’s no server, database, or plugin behind the public site, so there’s nothing to patch.

From then on you change the site by describing what you want. “Add a page for our new service, like the others.” “Post this article under News.” You see it on a draft in seconds and publish when you’re happy. Every version is saved, so any change can be undone.

What you keep

Your content, your design, your URLs, and your freedom to leave: your site stays a standard, open-source project you can download at any time.

FAQ

Questions we often hear

Will my WordPress URLs and SEO carry over?

Yes. We keep your page addresses, titles, and descriptions, and add redirects for anything that changes, such as old category or attachment pages. We can't promise rankings, but we keep everything search engines already know about your site.

What about my blog?

Your posts come across as posts, with the same addresses, and you can keep publishing: paste in a draft and ask for it to be posted, or write it with the AI's help.

Is it cheaper than WordPress?

Often, if you pay for managed hosting, premium plugins, and a maintenance plan or agency retainer. If you run WordPress yourself on cheap hosting, probably not, but you stop spending time on updates.
