Migrate from WordPress

When WordPress gets in the way of publishing, we help you choose a better setup and rebuild around the content your business depends on.

[Talk about your move](https://south.digital/get-started)

[See how it works](https://south.digital/migrate-from-wordpress#migration-process)

## Fix the cause. Choose the right next step.

### Maintenance keeps escalating.

We review hosting, access and plugins to find the cause of recurring problems.

### Content is harder to manage.

Your team needs clearer ways to organise and publish articles, resources and service pages.

### The platform may still fit.

We can repair or rebuild your site if WordPress still suits your team.

Consensus

> “They helped us migrate our website from WordPress to Framer, which was a LARGE and complex project involving our blog, resource pages, custom components, redirects, SEO considerations, and overall site structure.”

## Know what stays. Decide what changes.

We review your plugins and integrations to see what your team uses, what customers rely on and what the new site needs.

Forms, online sales and member areas each need a plan. A rebuild in WordPress may still be the right choice.

## Where your WordPress site could go.

Choose around what you publish, the tools you use and the people who edit your site.

### Framer

Visual editing and CMS collections for marketing pages and blogs.

### Webflow

A structured CMS and reusable sections, with hosting managed by Webflow.

### Astro

Content-led sites with editing in Sanity and pages that load only the code they need.

## Plan the move. Account for every part.

Your current site stays live while we prepare its next home.

### Know what moves.

Review post types, taxonomies, custom fields, media and plugins. Compare the available exports with the live site.

A clear plan. An itemised quote.

### Rebuild the necessary parts.

Map content to the new CMS. Replace platform-dependent features and verify media, forms and journeys.

Content, redirects and journeys checked.

### Switch, then verify.

Agree the final content sync. Check URLs, redirects and analytics, then monitor the site after launch.

A checked launch. A site you control.

## Plan for search from the start.

Your articles, resources and service pages have a history. We plan what stays, what changes and how people find the new site.

**Map the existing addresses**

List posts, categories, tags and media, then agree which addresses stay and which change.

**Carry across the search details**

Move page titles, descriptions and existing redirects into the new setup.

**Check the live site**

Test redirects, submit the sitemap and monitor indexing after the switch.

## Leaving WordPress, explained.

### Can we keep our WordPress content?

Yes. WordPress exports structured content, but the export is not the entire site. We separately account for media files, theme behaviour, plugin settings and integrations.

### Could you repair the site instead?

Yes. A maintained WordPress site can be the right answer. We assess hosting, access and dependencies before deciding whether targeted repairs, a WordPress rebuild or a move would be the better investment.

### What replaces our plugins?

We review what each plugin does and what your next site needs. For forms, online sales and member areas, we agree what to rebuild, which integrations to keep and what to remove.

### Can our team still edit the website?

Yes. Where your team needs routine content editing, we build around a CMS you can use without a developer. Training and handover are included in the plan.

### Will a move affect our search rankings?

Rankings can fluctuate during a move. We review valuable pages, preserve useful URLs, map redirects and check metadata and indexation before and after launch.

### What determines cost and timing?

Content structure, integrations, templates and review time determine the scope. The move is priced within our published website ranges, Focused US$8k–16k, Growth US$16k–40k and Custom from US$40k, and we provide a written plan and quote before work starts.

### What if our site is built with Elementor?

Then removing Elementor and leaving WordPress are separate decisions. We can rebuild without the page builder and keep WordPress, or plan a move to another platform.
