Will we lose our Google rankings and organic traffic when migrating off WordPress?

No. Protecting your search equity is our top priority. We crawl every URL, blog post, category, and metadata tag on your existing WordPress site. We then implement a complete 1-to-1 301 redirect map and matching schema markup so search engines transfer all authority seamlessly to your new build.

Why do so many Alaska businesses want to leave WordPress?

WordPress sites frequently suffer from 'plugin creep'—15 to 40 plugins stacked on top of an aging PHP theme. This leads to slow mobile load times, broken layouts after routine updates, security vulnerabilities, and unpredictable monthly maintenance fees. Our modern Astro builds eliminate plugins, databases, and security patches completely.

Can we keep all our existing blog posts and page content?

Yes. We migrate all your valuable text, case studies, guides, and photography. We clean up messy formatting and outdated HTML so your content looks modern, legible, and loads instantly.

Do we still own our domain and content?

100%. Your domain never leaves your control, and you own all code and content from day one. You are never locked into proprietary themes or hosting.
