Rely on the world's most popular CMS

As an agency for WordPress, we naturally have numerous arguments in favour of moving to WordPress. These advantages are convincing more and more companies to have their new website created with WordPress. This is demonstrated by the steadily growing market share of the WordPress CMS over time. WordPress has been the most popular system for creating a professional website for several years now.

The reasons for and against a website move

Do you want to move your shop? Here to the Move from WooCommerce learn more.

For a move speaks to WordPress:

Your current CMS is no longer being developed or the pace is not satisfactory.
Your current CMS does not allow the connection of further software systems.
Your current CMS closes security gaps too slowly or is not legally compliant.
You have a customised CMS and your agency provides support.
You are missing important functions to successfully market and further develop your website.

Against a move speaks to WordPress:

Your employees and service providers need to learn and use a new CMS.
Your current ranking in search engines is at risk (SEO). The SEO power must also be transferred.
You may need a new agency that does not know your business processes and has to familiarise itself with them.
Existing connections to other software systems must also be moved.

We help you move your website

A website move is the right time to implement a more modern design, optimised user guidance and new functions. We as Internet agency are specialised in WordPress websites and have experience from more than 100 successful projects. In addition to the points mentioned above, however, the Data migration a very important point (and cost factor) when it comes to switching to WordPress.

Here is a brief overview of the common methods for migrating data to WordPress.

Data migration methods

Manual method with Copy&Paste

with few pages

If you only have a few pages or posts, simply copying and pasting is a practical method. However, texts, images, tags and categories must be copied and pasted individually into the WordPress page. With more than 100 pages, this is a strenuous task, as you have to remain very focussed at all times.

Nevertheless, mistakes happen again and again with this method, which have to be corrected in the second pass.

Customer accounts, comments or ratings are usually not copied with this method. On the one hand, there are technical reasons for this and, on the other, the high cost is usually not worth it. A loss of user data is therefore the consequence of this method.

Semi-manual method

CSV export and import via WordPress (if necessary with plugin)

Some websites offer the function of a CSV or XML export of data. If pages, posts, comments and images can be exported as CSV or XML, this is a possible method for migrating data to WordPress. However, as the data structure of the existing website most likely does not correspond to that of WordPress, the fields must be "mapped".

If data fields are transmitted that WordPress does not provide, these must be sorted out or ignored. Conversely, WordPress may require data fields that do not exist in the old website. These must then be added manually or filled in with a default value.

A WordPress plugin like e.g. WP All Import can make it easier to assign the data fields. Nevertheless, with this method advanced knowledge to WordPress is required to implement a successful data migration.

Automated import and export

via a specialised supplier

There are service providers who specialise in website data migration. One of the first providers is wordherd. The company from the USA offers automated data migration of many popular CMS to WordPress. The service is subject to a fee and is initially based on the number of entries (pages, posts, images, comments).

However, as many website owners do not achieve the desired result with automated data migration, you can also purchase customised support from these providers. The company claims that the success rate is very high. However, we cannot confirm this, as a complex data migration also goes hand in hand with good communication in the native language (German).

Professional data migration

by an agency/programmer

Of course, the path via a professional Internet agency The safest way to transfer the data completely from the current website to WordPress. With a complex data structure, not only do fields have to be assigned, but fields may also have to be linked or separated.

Data from connected software systems or customised developments must also be taken into account and can only rarely be transferred correctly by a standard solution.

In addition, there is the Possibility to optimise the data. Either for improved usability or to improve the Search engine optimisation (SEO).
