WordPress Migration
Your WordPress site was the right choice when you built it. But slow load times, constant plugin updates, security vulnerabilities, and a site your team can barely manage — these are the signs it is time to move on. We migrate your WordPress site to a modern headless CMS setup that is faster, safer, and easier to manage long-term.

You are locked into a theme you cannot change without rebuilding everything
What we build for you
We migrate your existing WordPress site to a modern headless CMS architecture — Directus as the content backend and a fast Next.js or Nuxt.js frontend. Your team gets the same easy content editing experience, your visitors get a site that loads in milliseconds, and you get a system with no plugins to maintain and no theme conflicts to fix.
Full content migration
Every page, post, image, and file from your WordPress site migrated to the new system. Nothing gets lost in the transition.
PageSpeed 90+ guaranteed
Your new site will score 90 or above on Google PageSpeed Insights. Faster sites rank higher and convert more visitors.
Same editing experience
Your team manages content from a clean admin panel — add pages, update text, publish posts — without touching code. No WordPress knowledge required.
Zero plugin dependencies
No plugins means no plugin conflicts, no security patches, no compatibility breaks after WordPress updates. Maintenance drops to near zero.
GDPR-ready hosting
Host your new site and content on European servers. Full data sovereignty, GDPR compliance, and no dependency on US-based WordPress hosting.
SEO preserved and improved
All existing URLs preserved or properly redirected. Meta tags, sitemaps, and structured data set up correctly from day one.

Your WordPress site loads slowly and you are losing visitors and rankings as a result
You spend more time maintaining WordPress than growing your business
Your team is afraid to update content because something always breaks
You want to move to a faster, more secure platform without rebuilding your content
You are a European business that needs GDPR-compliant hosting and data residency

Common questions about wordpress migration
Will my Google rankings drop during the migration?
No — if done correctly. We preserve all your existing URLs where possible and set up proper 301 redirects for any that change. Your SEO signals transfer to the new site. In most cases, rankings improve within a few months because the new site loads significantly faster.
Can my team still manage content without technical skills?
Yes. Directus gives your team a clean, intuitive admin panel for managing pages, posts, images, and any other content. It is easier to use than WordPress for most non-technical users because there are no plugins or theme options to accidentally break.
How long does a WordPress migration take?
A typical migration for a site with up to 50 pages takes 4 to 6 weeks. Larger sites with custom WordPress functionality, WooCommerce, or complex integrations take 8 to 12 weeks. We scope the timeline accurately before starting.
What happens to my existing WordPress site during the migration?
Your WordPress site stays live throughout the entire migration. We build the new site in parallel and only switch over the domain when everything is tested and ready. There is zero downtime for your visitors.
