(01) Strategic decision
Migrating to WordPress is a strategic decision.
Proprietary platforms charge ever-rising license fees, limit customization and lock in your content. At the same time, they lose performance, make integrations harder and create vendor dependency stalling the growth of the digital business.
We don’t just do migration. We restructure your digital presence with WordPress architecture that scales, performs and that you control.

Complex integrations APIs and tools that are hard to connect.
Open ecosystem: 60,000+ plugins, native REST API, custom integrations.

What is migration to WordPress?
Migration to WordPress is the process of transferring all content, URL structure, SEO metadata, media and functionality from another platform Joomla, Drupal, Webflow, Shopify, Magento, VTEX, PrestaShop, Adobe AEM, Wix, Squarespace or any CMS to WordPress or WooCommerce, preserving the organic rankings earned and avoiding traffic loss.
How does the migration process to WordPress work?
A safe migration follows phases: complete mapping of URLs and 301 redirects, content export and cleanup, setup of a staging environment identical to the production server, database and file migration, SEO validation (crawling, canonicals, hreflang, Schema.org, Google Search Console), quality testing and cutover with a rollback window. No content or URL is lost without a mapped redirect.

(07) Frequently asked questions
Answers before the first call.
Is migrating to WordPress safe? +
Yes when done with methodology. We use staging, full backup, documented rollback, and post-migration monitoring. In over 300 migrations, none has lost data or rankings irreversibly.
Will I lose my SEO in the migration? +
No. We map and 301-redirect every URL, preserve backlinks, reconfigure Search Console, and optimize Core Web Vitals. The result is usually a ranking improvement in 60 to 90 days because WordPress has a more SEO-friendly architecture.
How long does a migration take? +
Simple sites: 2 to 4 weeks. Complex platforms (e-commerce, multisite, high content volume): 6 to 12 weeks. The exact timeline is defined after the technical audit when we know exactly what exists and what needs to be migrated.
Can I migrate without taking the site down? +
Yes. The whole process happens in staging. Go-live is planned for low-traffic windows, with controlled DNS propagation. Real downtime is generally less than a typical hosting switch.
How much does a WordPress migration cost? +
It depends on volume and complexity number of pages, source platform, integrations, and redesign needs. We do a free technical analysis and send a proposal with a fixed scope. No surprises mid-project.
In depth
Migration to WordPress without losing SEO, explained.
What is a migration to WordPress?
It’s transferring all content, structure and SEO from another platform (Joomla, Drupal, Webflow, Shopify, VTEX and others) to WordPress or WooCommerce. Done well, it preserves URLs, authority and rankings and also unlocks the performance, flexibility and control the previous platform limited.
Will I lose my Google rankings?
No, when there’s a method. We map every URL, create strategic 301 redirects, preserve metadata, schema and content structure, and monitor indexing in Search Console after go-live. The goal is a migration transparent to Google with no traffic drops.
How do you avoid downtime and data loss?
We work in a staging environment, with full backup and a rollback plan at every step. We validate content, media, products, users and SEO before publishing. The deploy is controlled and monitored the live site only switches once everything has been checked.
How long does it take and how much does it cost to migrate?
It depends on the content volume, the complexity of the source platform and the integrations. We start with a pre-migration audit that sizes risk, effort and timeline and delivers a clear technical proposal before any execution.
