✔ Test thoroughly: content rendering, page speed, link integrity, mobile, security.

FAQs About Proprietary CMS to WordPress Migration

Why should I migrate from a proprietary CMS?

You’ll gain long-term flexibility, cost savings, and control. Proprietary CMSes often limit what you can do, charge you for small changes, and create dependence on a particular developer or vendor.

✔ Easier content management
✔ More plugins and integrations
✔ Long-term support and security

How long will the migration take?

The timeframe to migrate your website depends on your site’s size and complexity:

✔ Small sites: 3-4 weeks
✔ Medium sites: 4-6 weeks
✔ Large or complex sites: 6+ weeks

Will I lose SEO rankings after migrating off the proprietary CMS?

No, if done right. We preserve URLs, metadata, internal linking, and set up proper 301 redirects; plus we optimize the new site for speed and best practices.

✔ 301 redirects prevent broken links
✔ Retain metadata and SEO settings
✔ Optimize new WordPress site for performance

What features might I lose or need to rebuild?

That depends on how custom your proprietary CMS is. Some features might need custom plugin work in WordPress. We’ll help you decide whether to rebuild, replace with a plugin, or simplify.
