Vertical: WordPress Migration

Migrate off WordPress to a modern stack.

For organizations on aging WordPress installs ready for sub-100ms page loads, modern security, an editor experience your team likes, and an AI layer that actually works. We migrate the content cleanly and rebuild on Next.js 16 + headless CMS.

The WordPress Tax

Why teams finally leave

Page loads are too slow

Average WordPress site has 4-6 second LCP. Visitors bounce. Google penalizes. Core Web Vitals score sits at 30-50 out of 100.

Plugin hell

A typical business WP install has 25-50 plugins, half of them abandoned, each one a security risk and a future incompatibility waiting to happen.

Security incidents are routine

WordPress runs 43% of the web AND accounts for 96% of CMS hacks. Editor accounts get popped, ransomware lands, and you find out at 3 AM.

Editor experience is hostile

Gutenberg blocks fight with classic editor. Page builders fight with the theme. Your team gives up and asks the developer for everything.

What You Get

Four upgrades on day one.

Sub-100ms page loads

Next.js 16 + Vercel Edge gets you LCP under 1.2 seconds globally. 5-7x faster than your current WordPress install.

Modern security model

No PHP attack surface. No vulnerable plugins. JWT auth, RBAC, audit trails. The kind of security you cannot bolt onto WordPress.

Editor experience that does not suck

Sanity, Contentful, or Strapi instead of the WordPress admin. Your team actually wants to use it. Clean, fast, predictable.

No more plugin roulette

Every feature is purpose-built code, not a marketplace plugin that breaks on the next WP update. Stable. Predictable. Maintainable.

Migration Path

Four steps to a clean migration.

01

Content export

We pull every post, page, image, and custom field from your WordPress install. Mapped to clean structured content models.

02

Rebuild on modern stack

Next.js 16 + your choice of headless CMS. Custom design or your existing brand. SEO + AEO + GEO baked in from day one.

03

Side-by-side staging

Your new site lives on staging while WordPress keeps serving. You preview everything. Stakeholders sign off before the switch.

04

DNS cutover

One-day flip. We redirect every URL so SEO transfers cleanly. Old site decommissioned after 30 days of monitoring.

Typical migration timeline: 4-8 weeks for marketing sites, 8-16 weeks for content-heavy sites with WooCommerce.
