Moving a restaurant website off WordPress does not have to cost you your search rankings

Migrating a restaurant website off WordPress to a custom-coded site keeps the pages and rankings that already work by rebuilding the content directly and redirecting every old page address to its new equivalent, rather than starting the site over from a blank slate.

What actually changes when you leave WordPress

WordPress relies on plugins and themes that accumulate over time and are a common source of slow load times, security patches and a site that only one person on staff knows how to touch. Moving to a custom-coded site removes that plugin layer entirely: every page is built directly, with close to no client-side JavaScript, so speed and security stop depending on how well plugins are kept up to date.

Content worth keeping gets migrated, not rewritten from scratch

We go through your existing WordPress site to identify the pages, menu content and photos worth carrying over, then rebuild them on the new platform rather than asking you to start every page over. A blog post or menu page that already brings in traffic keeps its content; only the underlying platform changes.

Redirects protect what WordPress already built

Every old WordPress page address that has a working new equivalent gets a redirect once the new site launches, so search engines and anyone who bookmarked or linked to your old menu or contact page land on the right content. This is the standard way to carry search value through a platform change rather than losing it at the switch.

What you get instead of a WordPress dashboard

After migration, changes go through your client portal rather than a WordPress admin dashboard, with five revisions a month included and no size limit per revision. Hosting, security and plugin updates, the recurring maintenance a WordPress site needs, are no longer something anyone on your staff has to manage.

What you get

Questions about WordPress to custom restaurant website migration

Will we lose our WordPress site's search rankings?

The goal is to carry them forward. Every old page address with a working new equivalent gets a redirect once the new site launches, which is the standard way to preserve search rankings and bookmarks through a platform change.

Do we need to export anything from WordPress ourselves?

Tell us your current site address during onboarding and we handle reviewing and migrating the content worth keeping. You do not need technical WordPress export experience to start.

What happens to our WordPress plugins and theme after migration?

They are not carried over. The new site is custom coded without a plugin or theme layer, which is what removes the recurring maintenance a WordPress site usually needs.

How long does a WordPress migration take?

It follows the same launch timeline as a new build, 7, 10 or 15 days depending on your plan, since the site is rebuilt fully on the new platform rather than converted in place.

Can we keep updating the site ourselves after migration if we want to?

Changes go through your client portal as a revision rather than a self-service dashboard. Five revisions are included every month with no size limit, turned around within 2 to 5 working days.
