WordPress migration
I move websites from WordPress to Astro: the same look or a new one, the same URLs, SEO intact. Your site stops needing plugin updates and loads quickly, even on a phone.
Packages
A 1:1 migration keeps the look and content on new technology. If you also want a new design, that is a website redesign. Prices are starting prices, excluding VAT.
1:1, up to 5 pages
You have a small WordPress site and like how it looks. You want it fast and free of updates.
from PLN 1,900 excl. VAT
1:1, up to about 30 pages and posts
Your site has services, a blog and categories, and some traffic comes from posts you cannot afford to lose.
from PLN 3,400 excl. VAT
new look and content
While moving, you want to refresh the look, tidy up the offer and improve the content.
from PLN 6,900 excl. VAT
WooCommerce, member areas
A shop, bookings, user accounts, several languages or many custom content types.

Plugins
The most common question before a migration. Type a plugin or feature name and see what happens to it after the move to Astro.
Replaced with code
Titles, descriptions, structured data and the sitemap are part of the code. I carry over the metadata of every page and post 1:1.
Not needed
I rebuild the look as lightweight components. The heavy builder code loaded on every page is gone.
Replaced with code
The form works without a plugin: it sends an email, blocks bots and does not collect data you do not need.
Not needed
Not needed. The site is built from ready-made files, so there is nothing to cache.
Not needed
Not needed. Images are converted to modern formats and several sizes automatically on every publish.
Not needed
Not needed. There is no PHP, database or login page on the server for attacks to target. Account security for the domain and hosting stays.
Not needed
Not needed. Every version of the site is stored in a repository, so rolling back is one click.
Replaced with code
Redirects live in a file on the server and run before the page loads. I carry over existing rules together with the URL map.
Replaced with code
Language versions live in the code, with correct hreflang tags. Each extra language is priced separately.
Service stays
Google Analytics 4 runs through Google Tag Manager and only starts after cookie consent.
Replaced with code
A lightweight consent banner with Consent Mode v2, without a third-party plugin loaded on every page.
Replaced with code
I turn fields into structured content data, so services, team or case studies keep their templates.
Not needed
Usually removed, since sliders slow pages down and few people see later slides. If needed, I build a lightweight carousel.
Service stays
I connect the signup form directly to the newsletter service you use.
Replaced with code
Comments can stay as text under a post or be retired. We decide together, and spam goes away either way.
Custom quote
A shop needs its own conversation: sometimes a shop platform next to the Astro site is better, sometimes a custom setup.
Custom quote
I build bookings for your business. Example: Domki Borsk has instant booking, payments and Booking.com sync.
Custom quote
User accounts, courses and member areas are quoted individually after reviewing how they work today.

An example from a URL map. Typical WordPress addresses, such as date archives or RSS feeds, get considered redirects, not a blanket redirect to the home page.
Process
I collect the content and every URL: from the sitemap, Google Search Console and a full crawl. I need access to the WordPress dashboard, not the hosting.
I rebuild the look or implement a new design, and replace plugin features with code. Your current site keeps running.
You get a link to a test version blocked from Google and a list of all URLs to compare both sites side by side.
I move the DNS, including mail settings, and test every redirect. You cancel the old hosting only once everything works.
A new sitemap in Search Console, IndexNow for Bing and indexing checks in the following weeks.
FAQ
A 1:1 migration of a small site, up to 5 pages, starts at PLN 1,900 excl. VAT. A site with a blog, up to about 30 pages and posts, starts at PLN 3,400 excl. VAT. A migration with a new design is a website redesign, from PLN 6,900 excl. VAT. Shops and sites with user accounts are quoted individually. Check the package for your site in the calculator above.
A well-prepared migration greatly reduces the risk: every old URL has a match or a 301 redirect, content and metadata move unchanged, and I check indexing after launch. Google warns that rankings may fluctuate for a while during a move, so nobody honest can guarantee no change.
No. The old site runs until the domain switch, and it is worth keeping the hosting for a few more days after launch, just in case. Then you can cancel it.
Astro has no built-in dashboard like WordPress. I make small changes for clients as part of ongoing care. If you want to publish posts yourself, I can connect a simple content editing panel, priced separately.
A small site that keeps its design is usually a short project, while a site with a blog and many content types takes longer. Most of the time usually goes into reviewing the test version and your approvals. You get a specific timeline together with the quote.
The domain stays and email keeps working. When switching, I move all DNS records, including mail records, so your mailboxes keep receiving messages.
