Umbraco to WordPress – Migrate Easily
Your website should make your life easier, not more stressful. A simple migration from Umbraco to WordPress gives your website more flexibility and reliability, and significantly reduces costs.
The biggest benefits of WordPress
✓ Save money
WordPress is an open-source platform, which means there are no licence fees, and you are offered a
large selection of free themes and plugins. This reduces both development and hosting costs
compared to Umbraco, which can be more expensive due to licence and customisation requirements.
✓ Simplify SEO
WordPress is known for its built-in SEO-friendly features, including clean permalink structures and automatic
generation of meta tags. Plus, extensions like Yoast SEO make it easy to optimise your content, which helps
improve your rankings without the need for extensive SEO knowledge.
✓ Scalability
WordPress’ wide range of plugins and themes make it easy to scale your website as your business grows.
Whether you need e-commerce features, multilingual support or analytics tools, WordPress makes it
makes it easy to add new features without extensive rework.
✓ Navigate with ease
With a simple and user-friendly backend, WordPress allows even users with less technical knowledge
to manage and update their website. The user-friendly control panel simplifies content management,
design customisation and add-on installation, reducing dependence on developers for routine updates.
The migration process in 3 easy steps
Our engineers follow a secure process to migrate your data from Umbraco to WordPress to ensure that neither your data nor SEO is affected:
1. We build a customised WordPress template
We start the process by designing a custom WordPress template that reflects your brand’s unique identity and meets your specific needs. This template is not just a copy of your current Umbraco website, it’s an upgraded version. We focus on optimising each part for the best possible performance, ensure the design is fully responsive on all devices and include advanced SEO principles from the start to increase your visibility on search engines.
2. We pull your data from Umbraco
In the next phase, we carefully extract your entire data set from Umbraco, including all content, media assets and necessary metadata. We go beyond a simple data transfer by ensuring that your content structure and integrity are fully preserved. This approach allows us to prepare your data for a smooth integration into WordPress, minimising the risk of data loss or disruption during migration.
3. We import your data into WordPress
Finally, we transfer your data into WordPress and ensure that everything is properly customised to fit the new structure. This includes setting up the necessary 301 redirects to maintain your existing SEO ranking and counteract loss of organic traffic. After the data import, we thoroughly test every area of your website, from functionality to user experience, to ensure everything is running smoothly. Our goal is to ensure that your transition to WordPress is not only smooth, but also improves your site’s overall performance and reliability.
