WordPress migration

Move from WordPress to a custom-coded website

We rebuild your WordPress site in clean, hand-written code. Your content, design and web addresses come across. The plugins, updates and security patches stay behind.

  • Full refund until you approve the design
  • Old addresses kept or redirected
  • Real code, yours to keep
What comes across

Everything your customers see

The move is our job. You don't rewrite a page or resend a photo.

Your words and images

We take the content from your current site, page by page. Nothing to rewrite, nothing to send twice.

Your look, or a better one

Keep your logo, colours and layout, or let us refresh them. Either way you see the design before we build.

Your web addresses

Pages keep the addresses they have now. Where one has to change, a permanent redirect sends visitors and Google to the new page.

What Google already knows

Page titles, descriptions and image text come across, so search results keep showing what they show today.

Your blog posts

Posts move into the new blog on Full Website, and you can keep posting from a simple editor.

Your contact form

Rebuilt without a form plugin, and it still sends to the inbox you use now.

Your Google tools

If you use Google Analytics or Search Console, we connect them to the new site.

Checked before the switch

The new site runs on a preview address first. We check every old address before your domain moves over.

What stays behind

Everything you had to look after

Plugin and theme updates

No plugins means no update list, and no update that breaks the homepage on a Friday.

The login page bots keep trying

There is no admin panel to guess passwords against. Changes go through us, or through the code if you are technical.

The database and PHP on the server

Your site becomes plain files. Nothing on the server runs code when a visitor arrives, so there is far less to attack.

Plugins to make it fast

Caching and speed plugins exist to fix WordPress. Hand-written pages are fast without them.

Why owners are asking now

Two critical security fixes landed within a month of each other.

September 22, 2026

WordPress 7.1.2

Fixed CVE-2026-87902, a critical flaw in WordPress itself. On sites with certain server and theme set-ups, it could let someone run code without logging in.

October 21, 2026

PHP emergency releases

Fixed CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619, critical flaws in PHP, the software WordPress runs on. Updating WordPress does not fix them. Your host has to update PHP.

A WordPress site that is kept up to date can be secure, and neither fix means yours was broken into. What they show is the job that comes with WordPress: someone has to apply every fix, on time, to WordPress, the plugins, the theme and the PHP underneath. A custom-coded site is plain files, with no PHP and no database on the server, so fixes like these are not something you have to chase.

What the PHP alert means for your site
How the move works

From WordPress to live in four steps

  1. 1

    Pick your package

    Paid up front, and fully refundable until you approve the design.

  2. 2

    Send us your site's address

    Paste it in the text box when you send your info. No WordPress login needed. Add new photos if you have them.

  3. 3

    Approve the design

    Ask for changes as many times as you like. Nothing is built until you are happy.

  4. 4

    We build it, test it and switch it over

    Old addresses are redirected and checked, then your domain points at the new site.

When WordPress is still the right call

Some sites genuinely need what WordPress does. If yours has one of these, we will tell you to stay rather than take the job.

  • A members area, courses or paid content behind a login

  • Several people publishing every week through an editorial workflow

  • A plugin that does something unusual your business depends on

Not sure which side your site is on? and we will tell you before you pay.

Questions about the move

  • We do the things that protect them: your addresses stay the same where they can, any that change are permanently redirected, and your page titles and descriptions come across. Any move can cause a short wobble while Google rechecks the site, and nobody can honestly promise otherwise. The pages Google already likes keep the address it knows.

  • No. We work from your public site. At launch we need your domain pointed at the new site: give us access to the registrar, or change one setting with us on chat.

  • Yes. Many WordPress hosts also run the business email, so we check where yours lives before we touch anything. We change only the records that point to the website and leave the email records alone.

  • Nothing, until the new site is live and checked. Then you can cancel the old hosting. Keep a backup from your host first, in case you ever want something from it.

  • The new site is written from scratch from your content, not copied from your WordPress install, so no plugin code, theme files or database come across. Change the passwords for your hosting, domain and email as well, because the move cannot do that part.

  • A WooCommerce shop becomes a custom Shopify store on Online Store. Bookings depend on the plugin. Tell us on chat what yours does before you pay, and we will tell you straight whether it moves well or should stay where it is.
