Website migration to WordPress

Your current website may have started on Wix, an AI website builder, Umbraco or another platform that worked well at the time.

As your business grows, however, you may need more control, better integrations, easier management or functionality that the original platform was never designed to provide.

LoganWeb can rebuild and migrate your existing website onto WordPress while retaining valuable content, branding and search visibility wherever practical.

More freedom over hosting, functionality and future development.

Retain useful pages, images, articles, products and other content wherever practical.

Plan redirects, URLs and metadata before the migration takes place.

WordPress provides an established content management system for everyday updates.

Add shops, bookings, CRM integrations, customer portals and other functionality later.

Signs it is time

A website does not have to be broken before the platform underneath it becomes a limitation. Often the site still looks fine, but every change is slow, expensive or simply not possible.

These are the most common reasons businesses ask us to move their website to WordPress.

Proprietary website builders such as Wix, Squarespace and GoDaddy are convenient to start with, but they can restrict:

• your choice of hosting
• how easily the site can be moved elsewhere
• development options and integrations
• access to the underlying platform

Self-hosted WordPress is open-source and can be hosted with any compatible hosting provider, so you are not tied to one company.

“We want our clients to stay because of the support and service we provide, not because their website cannot leave.”

A migration does not necessarily mean starting again. Where appropriate we can retain your:

• content and pages
• images and downloads
• blog posts
• products
• branding
• metadata
• important URLs

WordPress can be configured so everyday updates are straightforward. Alongside the build we provide:

• training
• support
• practical tutorials
• ongoing technical assistance

Yes. Wix sites cannot simply be exported as a WordPress website, so they are normally rebuilt in WordPress. Your useful content, images and page structure can usually be transferred or recreated, and we plan redirects so your existing pages keep their search visibility.

Yes. The approach depends on your Umbraco version, content structure, database, any custom development, integrations and the access available. We review all of this first and then recommend whether content can be exported directly or needs to be rebuilt.

Usually, yes. It depends on the builder and the export options it offers. Where an export is limited, we recreate the site properly in WordPress so it is easier to manage and extend.

Yes. Squarespace can export some content, such as pages and blog posts, and we rebuild the design and anything that does not export cleanly.

Yes. GoDaddy Website Builder sites are rebuilt in WordPress, with your existing content, images and structure carried across.

It can be recreated closely if the existing design works well for you. Alternatively, the migration can include a complete redesign.

Yes. Many clients use the migration as a chance to refresh the design, improve the structure and add new features in one project.

Rankings cannot be guaranteed by anyone, but an SEO-conscious migration reduces unnecessary risk. We review your current pages and search data, keep valuable URLs where possible, set up 301 redirects where they change, and monitor Google Search Console after launch.

Yes. Self-hosted WordPress can be moved between compatible hosting providers, so you are not locked in to us or anyone else.

WordPress itself is open-source and gives you far more platform flexibility than a proprietary builder. Some parts of a website, such as premium plugins, stock images, fonts or other licensed assets, come with their own licence terms, and we explain these for your project.

Yes. We can add a WooCommerce online shop during the migration or later, with products, payments and order management.

Yes, depending on your CRM and the API or integration options it provides. We can connect enquiries and customer activity so leads go straight into your CRM.

Yes. We can add booking for appointments, consultations, services, classes or events, or connect to a booking system you already use.

Yes, where technically possible. Blog posts are usually among the easiest content to migrate, including their images and categories.

Yes. Products can be migrated into WooCommerce, including descriptions, images, prices and variations where the source platform allows.

Yes, normally. Images, PDFs and other downloads are transferred and linked from the new pages.

Existing forms usually need to be recreated in WordPress. We rebuild them, connect them to your email or CRM and test them before launch.

WordPress is an established content management system, and we configure it so normal everyday updates are straightforward for you and your team.

Yes. Every migration includes training so you are confident making everyday updates yourself.

Yes. Alongside training we provide practical tutorials and ongoing support, so help is there when you need it.

It depends on the size of the site, its complexity and any integrations. A small brochure website is a very different project from a large Umbraco or bespoke system, so we give you a timeline once we have reviewed your site.

Cost depends on the number of pages, the current platform, the content, your design requirements, integrations, e-commerce and any custom functionality. Send us your existing website and we will assess it and give you a clear quote.

Normally, no. The replacement site is developed separately and switched over only after you approve it.

Yes. We manage the domain and DNS changes needed to switch the new website live.

We review your DNS and email services during the migration so the website changes do not unnecessarily interrupt your existing email.

Yes. Our managed WordPress hosting includes SSL, daily backups, updates and security monitoring.

Yes. Our website management service covers updates, security monitoring, backups and regular reports.
