WordPress and legacy migrations
Rebuild brittle CMS, plugin-heavy, or legacy websites as fast Next.js applications while preserving SEO-critical content, URLs, forms, and editing workflows.

The Approach
A full audit of your WordPress site comes first: every page, plugin, redirect, and SEO signal. Then the site is rebuilt in Next.js with static generation, preserving your content and branding while reducing the maintenance overhead. Redirects are mapped, metadata is preserved, and rankings are monitored after launch.
The Outcome
A site that loads quickly, targets 90+ on PageSpeed, and requires much less maintenance. No more constant plugin updates, recurring security patches, or hosting fees that creep up every year. Your content stays exactly where Google expects it.
Your WordPress site is costing you every day
Plugin subscriptions, managed hosting, developer bills for routine updates. Add it up and your WordPress site costs more per year than rebuilding it once in Next.js.
Slow speed is killing your conversions
Run your own site through PageSpeed Insights. If you're on WordPress, you already know what the score looks like. Every second of load time costs you visitors who will never come back.
Security patches are a full-time job
Another week, another plugin update. Another security advisory you're not sure applies to you. Static sites built in Next.js don't have a plugin layer to exploit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Migration risk is reduced with URL mapping, 301 redirects, metadata preservation, sitemap review, performance checks, and post-launch monitoring. Rankings can still move during a migration, so the cutover is planned carefully.
Yes. Your site can connect to a headless CMS that feels similar to WordPress but serves content through Next.js. You keep the familiar editing experience with dramatically better frontend performance.
Simple brochure sites: 2-3 weeks. E-commerce or complex sites with custom plugins: 4-6 weeks. Both sites run in parallel during migration, with the cutover planned to minimize downtime.
Each plugin is audited and replaced with a modern equivalent. Contact forms become API routes, SEO plugins become built-in Next.js metadata, analytics move to PostHog or GA4, and caching becomes unnecessary with static generation.
Day one is a full audit of your existing site: pages, plugins, SEO structure, and hosting costs. By day three, you see a working prototype in Next.js with your content and branding. The rest of week one is refinement, redirect mapping, and performance benchmarking. You're involved at every step, but you don't have to manage the process.
