Astro site, static or SSR
Content in Markdown or MDX inside the repository. Ideal for sites that change weekly, not hourly.

Move beyond WordPress. Build for what’s next.
Content sites rebuilt on Astro — lighter pages, fewer moving parts, an editing experience your team chooses. Everything that isn’t simply content gets assessed on its own terms.
THREE POSSIBLE OUTCOMES
Not every WordPress site should become the same thing.
Astro + headless CMS
Editors keep a visual editing interface; the site is rendered by Astro. CMS chosen to fit your team.

Custom application
When the “site” is really an application — accounts, transactions, workflows — it’s rebuilt as one, often beyond Astro.

ASSESSED SEPARATELY
There is no one-click WordPress migration.
These features carry business logic and data. Each needs its own functionality assessment before any outcome is recommended.
- WooCommerce
- Memberships
- Booking
- Payments
- Custom plugins
- User accounts & roles
PLUGIN PARITY
What your plugins become.
Typical outcomes for common plugins. Your site’s actual list is reviewed one by one before anything is recommended.
| WORDPRESS PLUGIN | AREA | IN ASTRO | PARITY |
|---|---|---|---|
| Yoast SEO / Rank Math | SEO | Metadata in content front-matter, sitemap and schema generated at build | FULL |
| Advanced Custom Fields | Content model | Typed content collections with validated schemas | FULL |
| Redirection | URLs | Redirect map maintained at the host or in config | FULL |
| Contact Form 7 / Gravity Forms | Forms | Rebuilt against a chosen form service; entries stored outside the site | PARTIAL |
| WPML / Polylang | Languages | Built-in i18n routing; translation workflow chosen per project | PARTIAL |
| Elementor / page builders | Layout | Layouts rebuilt as components; editors lose free-form drag-and-drop | REBUILD |
| Comments | Community | Third-party service or removed by agreement | PARTIAL |
| WooCommerce | Commerce | Separate assessment — kept, replaced by a platform, or rebuilt via php2modern | ASSESS |
| Memberships / bookings | Accounts | Separate assessment — needs a backend, not a static site | ASSESS |
Full — equivalent outcomePartial / Rebuild — works differently; agreed in scopeAssess — needs its own functionality assessment
CONTENT & SEO
What we carry across, deliberately.
Search visibility is protected by planning, not hoped for. Each item below is scoped and checked during the project.
Posts, pages & taxonomiesexported and mapped to content models

URLs & redirectsfull redirect map before launch

Will our editors lose the WordPress dashboard?+
With outcome B they get a headless CMS editor instead. With outcome A, editing happens in files or a Git-based editor. We choose together.
How do we start?+
A conversation, then an Assessment of your site and plugins. Any migration follows as a separate Proposal and Contract.
Send us the URL. We’ll start there.
A public URL and a list of plugins is enough for a first conversation. No admin access needed.
