Website & CMS Migration

Migrate From WordPress.

Keep the content and the SEO. Lose the plugin maintenance.

Flight Check

Why Teams Move Off WordPress.

These are the reasons people actually give us — not every one will be yours, and if none of them are, WordPress is probably still the right tool.

  • Plugin and core updates are a standing maintenance job, and a security one
  • Page speed degrades as plugins accumulate, and nobody owns the cleanup
  • Editors are nervous about touching layout in case a theme update reverts it
  • The CRM, email tool and booking widget are three more subscriptions bolted on
Your Infrastructure

We Set It Up On Your Hosting. No Forever Fees.

SimplerDevelopment is Apache-2.0 and self-hostable, so a migration does not have to end with you renting your own business back. We stand the platform up on your hosting and your database, move your data into it, hand over the keys, and leave. After that you pay your infrastructure provider — not a per-seat licence to us, and not a fee that climbs every time your list or your team grows.

If you would rather not run it yourself, we offer managed hosting too. That is a choice you can reverse — the code is yours either way, and so is the data.

You own the deployment

Your host, your Postgres, your domain.

You own the code

Apache-2.0 — fork it, extend it, keep it.

You can leave

Export the data and go. No exit fee, no hostage.

Cargo Manifest

What Moves, And Where It Lands.

Every row below is something we actually move out of WordPress, and how it gets there.

Posts, pages and taxonomies
Lands inCMS posts with categories and tags
HowYour WXR export is the source of truth; we bring content across and rebuild each layout in the block editor.
Media library
Lands inPortal media library
HowImages and documents are re-uploaded and re-linked so no post points at the old host.
Contact and lead forms
Lands inSurveys and forms, wired to the CRM
HowRebuilt as native forms so submissions create a CRM contact instead of only sending an email.
URLs and rankings
Lands inMatching paths, plus redirects
HowWe keep slugs where we can and map the rest, so existing rankings and inbound links survive the move.

Most sites: 1–3 weeks. Scope and price are fixed before we start.

Honest Log Entry

What Doesn’t Come Across.

Every migration loses something. Here is what, so you hear it from us now rather than discover it in week three.

  • Custom PHP themes and plugins do not transfer — bespoke functionality is re-implemented, and we scope that before you commit
  • Shortcodes have no equivalent; whatever they rendered is rebuilt as blocks
  • WooCommerce catalogues move to the built-in store, but payment history stays with your old processor records

Stay on WordPress if you rely on a specific WordPress plugin with no equivalent anywhere else, and rebuilding it costs more than the maintenance you are trying to escape.

Destination

WordPress Migration, Answered.

How do I migrate from WordPress to SimplerDevelopment?
We do it for you. You export from WordPress (or give us access), we import and rebuild inside SimplerDevelopment, you review it on a staging URL, and we cut over with redirects in place. Most sites: 1–3 weeks. You get a fixed scope and a fixed price before any work starts.
What does a WordPress migration cost?
It depends on size — page count, record count, and how much custom behaviour has to be rebuilt rather than moved. We quote each migration against its own scope after looking at your actual WordPress account, and that price does not move once agreed. Send the details through the form on this page and you will normally have a number back within one working day.
Will I lose my search rankings moving off WordPress?
That is the risk we plan around first. Slugs are preserved wherever possible, everything else is mapped to a redirect, and metadata and structured data move with the content. Rankings normally settle within a few weeks; a migration that skips the redirect map is the one that loses traffic.
What does not transfer from WordPress?
Custom PHP themes and plugins do not transfer — bespoke functionality is re-implemented, and we scope that before you commit. We tell you this before you commit rather than after, and anything that has to be rebuilt is priced in the quote instead of appearing as a surprise mid-project.
Do I have to keep paying you after the migration?
No. SimplerDevelopment is Apache-2.0 and self-hostable, so we can stand it up on your own hosting and your own database and hand over the keys. After that you pay your infrastructure provider, not a licence fee to us. If you would rather we ran it, managed hosting is available — but it is a choice, not a condition.
