Your site ships to Vercel's London edge nodes — every post, image, and URL intact, now loading in 380 milliseconds instead of 4.2 seconds. WordPress migration isn't a file dump; it's a platform swap that kills plugin bloat, PHP version hell, and the security treadmill your team runs every quarter. We map your old URLs to Next.js routes with server-side 301s that transfer link equity. Your content moves to Sanity or Contentful, giving your editors a real-time workspace that doesn't freeze under autosave. The database shrinks by 60–80% because headless CMSs don't carry fifteen years of revision cruft. Your hosting cost drops while your Core Web Vitals jump into the green. What you lose: the plugin conflicts, the 3am security patches, the glacial page loads that filter buyers before they see your product. What you keep: every ranking, every backlink, every piece of content that already works.

常見問題
How long does a WordPress migration take?
Most migrations wrap up in 4–7 weeks depending on site complexity. A 50-page brochure site can be done in 4 weeks. Large content sites with 1,000+ pages, custom post types, and complex plugin integrations typically need 6–8 weeks. We give you a detailed timeline during the discovery phase.
Will I lose my Google rankings during migration?
Not if done correctly. We map every URL before migration begins and implement server-side 301 redirects for any URL changes. All meta titles, descriptions, structured data, and internal link structures are preserved. After launch, we monitor Search Console daily for 30 days to catch any indexation issues straight away.
Can my content team still edit pages without WordPress?
Absolutely. We replace WordPress with a headless CMS — Sanity or Contentful — that gives editors real-time previews, collaborative editing, and a much cleaner interface. Most content teams prefer it within the first week. No plugin updates, no PHP errors — just content.
What happens to my WordPress plugins after migration?
We audit every plugin and rebuild its functionality with modern equivalents. Contact forms become serverless API routes. SEO plugins are replaced by Next.js metadata handling. eCommerce plugins can be swapped for Shopify or Snipcart. Nothing is lost — it's rebuilt better.
Do you work with London businesses specifically?
Yes. We work with clients globally, but we have deep experience with London-based businesses across professional services, fintech, healthcare, and eCommerce. We understand UK hosting requirements, GDPR compliance, and we schedule launches around GMT business hours.
How much does WordPress migration cost in the UK?
Our fixed-fee WordPress migrations start at £5,000 for straightforward brochure sites. Content-heavy sites with 500+ pages typically fall in the £10K–£20K range. Complex sites with eCommerce, membership features, or custom integrations start at £20K. Every project gets a detailed quote after our free discovery audit.
What is the cost of WordPress migration?
The cost of WordPress migration in London can vary widely depending on the complexity of the website and the specific services required. On average, prices can range from £200 for a basic migration of a small site to over £1,000 for more complex websites with extensive databases, custom themes, or additional plugins. Agencies often offer tailored quotes based on the individual needs of the client, so it's advisable to consult directly with them for a precise estimate.
Is WordPress still worth it in 2026?
Yes, WordPress is still worth it in 2026. As an open-source platform, it continues to evolve with regular updates, making it adaptable to changing technology trends. Its vast ecosystem, including a wide array of themes and plugins, offers flexibility for diverse website needs. According to W3Techs, WordPress powers over 40% of all websites globally, indicating its sustained popularity and reliability. Its strong user community also ensures ongoing support and innovation, making it a solid choice for website development in 2026.
