Umbraco to WordPress
Your website should make life easier, not more stressful. A simple migration from Umbraco to WordPress will give your website more flexibility and reliability, while significantly reducing costs.
The Key Advantages of Switching to WordPress
✓ Save Money
WordPress is an open-source platform, which means there are no licensing fees, and you are offered a wide selection of free themes and plugins. This reduces both development and hosting costs compared to Umbraco. Our starter package, Qala, takes this further by including thousands of hours of pre-developed, stable features, further lowering your initial costs.
✓ Simplify SEO
WordPress is known for its built-in SEO-friendly features. Plugins like Yoast SEO make it easy to optimize your content, helping to improve your rankings without needing extensive SEO knowledge. Qala ensures the technical foundation is optimized for performance and fast loading times, giving these tools the best possible conditions to succeed.
✓ Scalability
WordPress’s broad range of plugins and themes makes it easy to scale your website as your business grows. Whether you need e-commerce functionality or multilingual support, WordPress makes it simple to add new features. Qala is built specifically for this type of growth, with an architecture ready for internationalization and high traffic.
✓ Navigate Easily
With a simple and user-friendly back-end, WordPress allows even users with less technical knowledge to manage their website. The control panel simplifies content management and plugin installation, reducing dependency on developers. Qala enhances this with a library of pre-built modules that make it easy to build advanced pages without compromising on design.
Our 3-Step Migration Process
Our engineers follow a secure process to migrate your data from Umbraco to WordPress to ensure neither your data nor your SEO is affected:
1. We build your new foundation in WordPress
We start the process by designing a custom WordPress theme with our refined starter package, Qala, as the technical foundation. The theme reflects your brand and meets your specific needs. It’s not a copy of your Umbraco site, but an upgraded version optimized for performance, fully responsive, and with advanced SEO principles from the start.
2. We extract your data from Umbraco
In the next phase, we carefully extract your entire dataset from Umbraco, including all content, media assets, and necessary metadata. We go beyond a simple data transfer by ensuring your content structure and integrity are fully preserved. This approach allows us to prepare your data for a smooth integration into WordPress, minimizing the risk of data loss or disruption during the migration.
3. We import your data into WordPress
Finally, we transfer your data into your new WordPress site, ensuring everything is correctly adapted to fit the new structure. This includes setting up the necessary 301 redirects to maintain your existing SEO ranking and prevent any loss of organic traffic. After the data import, we rigorously test every area of your website, from functionality to user experience, to ensure everything works smoothly. Our goal is to ensure your transition to WordPress is not only seamless but also enhances your site’s overall performance and reliability.
