Why migrate your website to WordPress?

The trend amongst marketers and IT folk is moving away from the heavyweight website platforms of the past, and towards something more lightweight, nimble and (let’s be honest) fun to use.

There are many reasons brands around the world are redeveloping their websites on WordPress: to improve performance, reduce development costs, increase flexibility, and publish content more easily.

We unpack this subject in more detail as part of The Great CMS Exodus, for the nerdier readers amongst us!

Stress-free data relocation

Just like moving house, migrating your website’s posts, pages, users and other data has the potential to be one of the most stressful parts of the process.

Every website and CMS is structured differently, and so it’s important for us to plan how your content will map between your old and new websites, in order to make the migration as seamless as possible.

The development and infrastructure teams at Illustrate Digital will help you to organise and migrate your content, including: posts and post types, products, categories, case studies, media libraries and more.
