Your WordPress Site Is Costing You $47K/Month in Lost Revenue
If you're a VP of Marketing in LA watching Core Web Vitals tank your Google rankings, you've hit the migration wall.
We migrate WordPress sites to modern stacks like Next.js and headless CMS -- fast, secure, and without losing a single ranking.
Your site goes live on a new stack, and within 48 hours Google sees 127 broken redirects, duplicate title tags, and crawl errors your old sitemap never warned about. WordPress migration isn't dragging files between servers -- it's rewiring your entire content architecture while keeping every backlink, conversion path, and search ranking intact. We map 301 redirects at the URL level, rebuild your schema markup for Next.js, migrate product variants without losing order history, and run visual regression tests on 200+ page templates before DNS cutover. Your team in Los Angeles gets a migration timeline with daily Slack updates, staging credentials within 72 hours, and a DNS switch that happens during your lowest-traffic window. The risk isn't moving -- it's staying on a platform where every plugin update threatens your uptime and Core Web Vitals scores drop monthly.
What is holding your current website back?
Common gaps we find in nearly every audit.
What Your Website Could Look Like
Custom-designed for your industry. No templates. No stock photos.
How We Build This Right
Every safeguard, built in from Day 1.
Full SEO Audit & Redirect Map
We crawl every URL, meta tag, and internal link before touching a single file. Your redirect map is built and tested before migration day.
Content Schema Migration
Structured data, custom fields, and taxonomies move cleanly to your new CMS. Nothing gets stranded in orphaned database tables.
CCPA & Privacy Compliance
Los Angeles businesses need California-compliant cookie consent and data handling. We build compliance into the new stack from the start.
Performance Hardening
Post-migration sites hit 95+ Lighthouse scores with edge caching, image optimization, and code splitting. Your Core Web Vitals improve in ways you can measure.
Security Architecture
Moving off WordPress removes the largest attack surface on the web. Headless deployments serve static assets with no exposed admin panel.
Analytics Continuity
GA4, Search Console, and conversion tracking carry over without gaps. We verify data parity before and after migration so your reporting stays accurate.

Los Angeles-specific delivery
Los Angeles market context
LA's business landscape spans entertainment production companies in Burbank and Century City, ecommerce brands in Venice and Culver City, and medical practices across the Westside. Many run WordPress sites built 5-8 years ago on shared hosting like Bluehost or SiteGround, hitting performance walls as mobile traffic from the 405 corridor slows to a crawl. The LA market's visual-first audience expects sub-2-second load times -- WordPress sites averaging 6-8 seconds on mobile lose half their traffic before the hero image loads. PST timezone means real-time collaboration during core work hours, which matters when you're migrating a 400-page entertainment site with custom post types and ACF dependencies.
How we work with Los Angeles
Our LA studio is at the corner of Wilshire and 26th in Santa Monica, a 12-minute walk from the beach. We run WordPress migrations from this office -- in-person kickoffs available for LA-based clients, though most projects run hybrid with Slack daily standups and Loom video walkthroughs. Aryan splits time between London HQ and Santa Monica, so you'll often get both timezones covered. We use Linear for sprint tracking and Vercel for staging previews, keeping you in the loop without requiring you to learn GitHub. Migrations typically run 3-6 weeks depending on content volume and custom functionality.
Redondo Beach Dental Group
dental practice groupFive-location practice running a 2017 WordPress site on WP Engine with 280 pages, custom patient forms via Gravity Forms, and a blog that hadn't been touched in two years. Core Web Vitals were red across mobile -- 8.2s LCP, 540ms CLS. We migrated them to Astro with a Supabase backend for appointment requests, kept their existing content structure, and rebuilt forms as native web components. Preserved all SEO metadata and 301-redirected 280 URLs. Used Cloudflare Workers for geolocation-based location routing.
Lighthouse mobile score went from 38 to 97. LCP dropped to 1.1s. Their marketing coordinator now updates service pages in Sanity CMS instead of fighting the WordPress block editor -- she says it saves her 6 hours a week. Patient form submissions stayed consistent through migration, no traffic loss during cutover.
