Umbraco to WordPress Migration Made Easy

Your website should make life easier, not more stressful. A simple Umbraco to WordPress migration will give your website more flexibility and reliability, as well as dramatically decreasing costs.

The main benefits of WordPress

✓ Save money

WordPress is an open-source platform, meaning no licensing fees, and it offers a wide selection of free themes and plugins. This reduces both development and hosting costs compared to Umbraco, which can be more expensive due to licensing and custom development requirements.

✓ Make SEO simple

 WordPress is renowned for its built-in SEO-friendly features, including clean permalink structures and automatic metatag generation. Additionally, powerful plugins like Yoast SEO allow you to easily optimize your content, helping improve your search engine rankings without needing extensive SEO expertise​.

Scalability

WordPress’s wide variety of plugins and themes makes it easy to scale your website as your business grows. Whether you need e-commerce capabilities, multilingual support, or advanced analytics, WordPress provides a straightforward path to adding new functionalities without extensive redevelopment.​

✓ Navigate with ease

With an intuitive back-end interface, WordPress allows even non-technical users to manage and update their site. The user-friendly dashboard simplifies content management, design customization, and plugin installation, reducing the dependency on developers for routine updates​.

The migration process in 3 simple steps

Our engineers follow a secure process to migrate your data from Umbraco to WordPress to ensure none of your data or SEO is compromised:

1. We build your custom WordPress template

We start the migration by designing a custom WordPress template that reflects your brand’s unique identity and caters to your specific functional requirements. This template is not just a replica of your current Umbraco site, it’s an upgraded version. We focus on optimizing every aspect for optimal performance, ensuring that the design is fully responsive across all devices, and incorporating advanced SEO practices right from the start to boost your search engine visibility.

2. Extracting your Umbraco data

In the next phase, we carefully extract your entire data set from Umbraco, including all content, media assets, and essential metadata. We go beyond a simple data dump by ensuring that your content’s structure and integrity are fully preserved. This methodical approach allows us to prepare your data for smooth integration into the WordPress platform, minimizing the risk of any data loss or disruption during the migration.

3. Seamlessly integrating your data into WordPress

Finally, we bring your data into the new WordPress environment, ensuring everything is mapped correctly to fit the new structure. This includes setting up necessary 301 redirects to maintain your existing SEO standings and prevent any loss of organic traffic. After the data import, we test every aspect of your site, from functionality to user experience, to ensure that everything operates seamlessly. Our goal is to ensure that your transition to WordPress is not only smooth but also improves your site’s overall performance and reliability.
