Stop babysitting your WordPress website.

We rebuild your site and leave the plugin pile behind. You keep your pages, the look if it still fits, and the page addresses Google already knows. Small sites and heavy ones.

An example move off WordPress

The problem

WordPress got you online. It isn't what you need now.

A theme, a page builder, a pile of plugins. It worked, until it didn't. We don't try to speed WordPress up. We move you off it.

  • Slow on phones

    Most people find you on a phone. A heavy WordPress homepage makes them leave before it loads.

  • Update anxiety

    You put off clicking update, because one plugin can take the whole site down.

  • Hack risk

    A login page on your public site is a door anyone can knock on, all day, every day.

  • Changes that turn into a hunt

    A simple headline change turns into a search through theme settings and plugins.

The move

Keep what's useful. Drop the rest.

You keep

  • Your web address, pointed at the new site
  • Your words, photos and the pages that still earn their keep
  • Every old page address, redirected so Google and bookmarks still land
  • The look, if it already fits your business

You leave behind

  • WordPress and the plugin pile
  • Page builders and theme lock-in
  • A login page on your public site
  • Vague invoices for "maintenance"
  • Hoping the next update doesn't break the layout
Process

A rebuild, not a copy of the old site.

We copy what's worth keeping, then build a clean site. That's why it stays fast.

  1. We look at what you have

    Your pages, page addresses, forms, photos and what Google already knows about you.

    What to keep, what to cut, and what it costs

  2. We rebuild it

    New pages, same story. Built with no plugins to install, update or fix.

    A fast site with nothing to babysit

  3. Old links still work

    We map every old WordPress address onto the new pages, so search traffic and saved links don't hit a wall on launch day.

    Redirects for every page that ranks

  4. We look after it

    Hosting, backups, monitoring and your small changes are covered by your monthly plan.

    Hosting and support included

Our work

We've moved sites off WordPress before.

Yaya's WordPress site was slow on phones and hard to change. Here's what moving it did.

  • The Yaya Middle East website on a desktop screen
    The Yaya Middle East website on a phone

    Yaya Middle EastChildcare marketplace · Saudi Arabia, UAE and Kuwait

    96 mobile PageSpeed · 55 / 55 blog posts moved · no page builder

    Yaya's old site was built on WordPress with a heavy page builder. It was slow on phones, hard to change, and couldn't show its own nanny profiles properly.

    We moved the website off WordPress and rebuilt it from scratch, page by page, across three countries. Every page that ranked kept its address or was redirected, including all 55 blog posts, and the new site scores 96 on phones in Google PageSpeed Insights. The team still writes the blog in the WordPress editor they know.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Will I lose my Google rankings?

Not if it's done properly, and we do it properly. We map every page you have and keep or redirect each address, so Google carries your rankings across. It's how we moved Yaya's 55 blog posts with none broken.

Can I still change the site?

Yes, without touching WordPress again. Send us the change and we'll make it: up to 2 small changes a month on Core, unlimited on Full and Growth. Anything bigger gets a fixed quote before we start.

How much does a WordPress migration cost?

It's a rebuild on one of our website plans: Core at $99 a month, no setup fee (12-month minimum), Full at $199 a month + $299 setup (12-month minimum), Growth at $449 a month + $499 setup (12-month minimum). Hosting and care are included. Or a custom website from $3,000 at a fixed price, which is yours when it's done.

How long does it take?

Core goes live in 7 business days. Full goes live in 14 business days once your content is ready. Bigger sites get a date before you agree to anything.

Do you migrate WooCommerce or membership sites?

No. We don't move WooCommerce shops or sites with a members' area. Our WordPress migrations are for business websites: your pages, forms, photos and blog. If your site sells products online or has member logins, we're not the right fit.

Can you just speed up my WordPress site?

No. Speeding up WordPress usually means adding more plugins, which is how most sites got slow in the first place. We move you off it instead, so the site stays fast.
