Moving from WordPress: Your site. Faster, safer, and watched.
If your business runs on an older WordPress site, we rebuild it by hand with your pages, your photos, and your words. Keep the look your customers already know, or use the move to redesign. Either way, Deyo Dash starts watching it, and you stop worrying about it.

What changes
Keep what your customers know. Lose what was costing you.
Your look, or a new one
Keep your layout, colors, photos, and pages exactly as they are, or use the move to redesign. Both of these sites were redesigned on the way over.
Faster load
Hand-built pages with nothing extra in them. Most sites we move go from several seconds to under one.
No plugin updates
No plugins at all. Nothing to update, nothing to fall out of date, nothing to break on a Tuesday.
No hacks
There is no login page and no database on the public site. The usual ways in don't exist.
Monitored
Deyo Dash checks uptime, SSL, domain, and your contact form, and emails you a report each month.
Still yours
Your domain stays in your name. Your content stays yours. Old page addresses keep working, so search rankings carry over.
How the move works
Your current site stays up the whole time.
We build the new version at a private link while the old one keeps running. You compare them side by side. When you approve, we switch the domain over. Most moves take two to three weeks and your customers never notice a gap.

WordPress questions
Fed up with WordPress? Start here.
Why does my WordPress site keep breaking?
- A typical WordPress site is a stack of plugins and a theme, each written by a different company and updated on its own schedule. An update to one can break another, and a skipped update leaves a known security hole open. A site we rebuild has no plugins at all, so nothing updates underneath you and nothing breaks on a Tuesday.
Why is my WordPress site so slow?
- Page builders and plugins each load their own code on every page, whether that page uses it or not. We rebuild your pages by hand with nothing extra in them. Most sites we move go from several seconds to under one.
My WordPress site was hacked. Can you help?
- Yes. We rebuild the site from your pages, photos and words, so nothing from the compromised install comes along. The new site has no login page and no database on the public site, so the usual ways in don't exist.
Will I lose my Google rankings if I leave WordPress?
- No. Every old page address keeps working: each one either serves the same page or redirects to its new home, so the links Google already knows carry over. Your domain stays in your name the whole time.
Will my site look different?
- Only if you want it to. We can carry over your layout, colors, photos and pages exactly as they are, or redesign the site as part of the move, like the two examples on this page. Your pages and words come along either way.
How do I update the site without WordPress?
- Email or call us with the change and we make it. There's no dashboard to learn and nothing to keep patched. Every site also comes with Deyo Dash, which checks it daily and sends you a short report each month.
How long does moving off WordPress take?
- Most moves take two to three weeks. Your current site stays up the whole time, you compare the two side by side at a private link, and we only switch the domain over when you approve.
