Map every page and template.

A full crawl: every URL, template, widget, shortcode, form and redirect, plus the pages that bring traffic and leads.

Measure what the builder costs.

Mobile LCP, CSS and script weight per template, and the plugins you can’t remove without breaking the site.

Rebuild as native blocks.

Custom Gutenberg blocks that match your design, content moved page by page on staging, so editors keep working the way they do now.

Launch with every URL kept.

Redirect map, meta and schema checked before launch, then Search Console watched daily for 30 days.

ContentPages, posts, custom post types and mediaShortcodes left as raw text
DesignSame look, rebuilt as reusable blocksPixel-perfect copy with builder bloat kept
Forms and trackingEvery form, event and conversionThank-you page conversions lost
EditorsA workflow your team already understandsEditors locked out of their own pages

Why page builders slow you down

Elementor, WPBakery and Divi load CSS and scripts for every widget they offer, on every page, whether you use them or not. Nested containers add thousands of extra elements.

You can optimize around it, but there’s a ceiling. On most builder sites I see, mobile LCP won’t go much below three seconds without removing the builder.

When migration is worth it

Migrate when speed is costing you leads, when the builder blocks a redesign, or when every new page needs a developer anyway.

Stay when the site is small, traffic is low and nobody edits it often. Then speed optimization is the cheaper fix.

Keeping rankings through a migration

Rankings drop when URLs change without redirects, when meta and headings get reset, or when internal links break. All three are preventable.

I crawl the old site first, map every URL, keep titles and descriptions, and compare both crawls before launch.

Editing after the move

Native Gutenberg blocks look like the old sections, but they’re lighter and harder to break. Your team picks a block, fills in fields, and the design stays consistent.

Most editors find it simpler than the builder within a week. A short recorded walkthrough is included.

How launch day works

Everything is built and tested on staging. On launch day, redirects and the new theme go live together, and I check the top pages and forms straight away.

For 30 days after, I watch Search Console for errors and ranking changes, and fix anything that slipped through.

Not if URLs, meta and internal links are kept. I map every URL before launch and watch Search Console for 30 days after.

It looks the same unless you want changes. The design is rebuilt as blocks, not redesigned.

Yes, in Gutenberg with custom blocks. Most editors find it simpler than the builder.

Three weeks for a small site, four to eight for larger ones. The old site stays live until launch.

Yes, that’s a separate service with its own page. Gutenberg is usually cheaper if your team knows WordPress.

Both are possible. They add scope, so I quote them after a short look at the site.
