Migrations — WordPress → Claude Code

WordPress to Claude Code migration.

WordPress runs a huge share of the web, and most of it is held together by plugins, themes and updates that break each other. We rebuild your site as plain, fast code on Claude Code - keeping your content and your rankings - so there's no plugin tax, no security treadmill and no admin nobody has time for.

What actually changes.

The same site, the same content, a completely different foundation. Everything on the left disappears; everything it did is either built into the code or no longer needed.

Why move

Three things you stop paying for.

No more plugin roulette

Every plugin is another dependency, another update, another thing that can break or get hacked. We replace the stack with code you own, so the site does exactly what it needs and nothing it doesn't.

Genuinely fast

WordPress sites carry weight: page builders, render-blocking scripts, bloated themes. Rebuilt as plain code, your site meets Core Web Vitals thresholds and loads instantly, which buyers and search engines both reward.

Rankings carried over

We map every URL, set up redirects and preserve your structure and metadata, so the SEO equity you've built moves with you instead of evaporating on launch.

How rankings survive the move.

The SEO-safe migration, in one glance

Redesigns lose rankings through skipped redirects, so we never skip them. Every migration runs the same four checks, in order, and the last one happens after launch, not before.

Step 1

URL inventory

Every URL on the old site crawled and recorded, with its rankings, backlinks and traffic noted. Nothing moves until the full map exists.

the complete map
Step 2

Rebuild, mirrored

Content, titles, metadata and structured data carried over one to one. The design can be kept faithful or sharpened; the crawlable structure stays deliberate.

Step 3

Redirects, one to one

Every old URL 301-redirects to its exact successor. No wildcard shortcuts, no redirect chains, no orphaned pages.

Crawl re-test

The live site is re-crawled against the inventory: every redirect checked, every page indexed, Search Console watched through the handover weeks.

How editing works after WordPress
Can we add the new case study to the homepage and update the team page with two new starters?
Done. Both changes are live, and the case study is linked from the services page too.

Editing, after WordPress

Change the site by asking.

You describe the change and we ship it, usually the same day. No admin panel to learn, no update that takes the site down on a Friday, no waiting for a developer to be found.

Honest caveat: if hands-on, drag-and-drop editing is essential for your team, we’ll tell you on the call and recommend Duda instead. We build on both lanes daily and recommend on fit.

The honest comparison

WordPress vs plain code, plainly.

WordPressPlain code on Claude Code
OwnershipGPL code plus licensed plugins on a stack your host controlsPlain code in a repository in your name, hosted wherever you choose
SpeedDepends on plugin discipline; page builders and themes add weight you can't fully removeNo runtime bloat to fight; built to Core Web Vitals thresholds and held there
SecurityA patch treadmill: plugins are the most common attack surface on the webNo plugin surface. Static-first pages with a minimal, monitored server footprint
MaintenanceMonthly updates, compatibility testing and backups, done by someone, foreverNothing to update. Changes are made to the code deliberately, when you ask
EditingSelf-serve in wp-admin, with the layout risks that come with itDescribe the change, it ships same day. Structured content keeps edits safe
Cost over timeHosting, plugin licences, maintenance retainer and the occasional emergencyHosting measured in pounds, no licences, no maintenance retainer

Where WordPress genuinely fits, we’ll say so on the first call. The migration makes sense when ownership, speed and the end of maintenance matter more.

Asked before every migration.

No. We migrate your pages, posts and media across, restructured cleanly. Your content is yours and it comes with you.
