Our 3-step migration process
Our engineers follow a secure process to transfer your data from Episerver to WordPress, ensuring all your data and SEO rankings are preserved.
1. We build your custom WordPress template
The first step in the Episerver to WordPress migration is to create a custom WordPress template tailored to your business needs. This involves working closely with you to understand your brand’s visual identity, functional requirements, and user experience goals. Unlike standard themes, a custom template ensures that your new WordPress site not only matches your current design, but enhances it. This includes optimising for mobile, integrating modern design trends, and ensuring compatibility with the latest WordPress updates and plugins.
2. We take your data from Episerver
Once your template is ready, the next step is to pull all your data from Episerver. This involves exporting all your content, including pages, posts, images, metadata and any custom fields, making sure nothing is left behind. We also map the data structures from Episerver to WordPress, which is crucial for maintaining content like tags, categories, and internal links. This process is thorough to ensure all data is extracted correctly, preserving the integrity of your content during the migration.
3. We import your data into WordPress
After we’ve retrieved your data, we move on to importing it into your new WordPress site. This step involves more than just a simple data transfer, it requires careful reconfiguration to ensure all content is properly integrated into the new structure. We handle everything from setting up your WordPress database to importing your content and configuring your SEO settings, including 301 redirects and meta tags. After the import, we thoroughly test the page to ensure that all content displays correctly, all features work, and SEO elements are preserved. This ensures a smooth transition, with no loss of data or search engine ranking.
