Migrate a Static HTML Website to a Maintainable WordPress Platform
An HTML-to-WordPress migration should do more than paste static markup into pages. I convert the content and design into structured WordPress content, reusable components, accessible templates, governed editing, preserved URLs, redirects, metadata, and a validated launch.
What Is Included
Static Inventory
Crawl pages, assets, URLs, titles, metadata, structured data, links, forms, scripts, languages, and content families.
Content Modelling
Map repeated entities into pages, posts, custom types, taxonomies, fields, reusable content, and lifecycle rules.
Block Theme
Create theme.json, templates, parts, patterns, blocks, responsive behavior, accessibility, and useful editing.
Repeatable Migration
Parse and transform HTML, normalize assets, retain identifiers, report exceptions, validate counts, and support reruns.
SEO Preservation
Preserve URLs, map redirects, migrate metadata, update links, validate canonicals, structured data, and sitemaps.
Launch and Training
Use staging, QA, backups, cutover planning, crawl comparison, analytics checks, monitoring, and editor guidance.
How We Work Together
- Clarify the business outcome, users, evidence, constraints, risks, and acceptance criteria.
- Define the architecture, scope, responsibilities, milestones, validation, and release approach.
- Complete the agreed assessment or implementation in reviewable stages.
- Validate outcomes, document ownership, and define the next operational priority.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the design be preserved?
It can be reproduced or intentionally evolved. Scope defines fidelity, responsiveness, accessibility, and component changes.
Can URLs be kept?
Often, yes. When a URL changes, it is mapped to the most relevant destination with a permanent redirect.
Do you copy every page manually?
Not for repeatable structures. Migration scripts and validation reports make transformation consistent and rerunnable.
Will content use blocks?
Yes. Content maps to core blocks, patterns, structured fields, and custom blocks only when necessary.
Is metadata migrated?
Relevant titles, descriptions, canonical intent, headings, alt text, and structured data can be mapped and validated.
How is completeness checked?
Through inventories, counts, asset checks, link scans, metadata comparison, visual samples, and journey tests.
