How Does Our Umbraco To WordPress
Migration Service Work?
For a successful Umbraco to WordPress migration you need to rebuild your Umbraco website in WordPress ensuring the existing design, functionality and content is replicated within your new WordPress site.
Rebuilding Your Umbraco Website In WordPress
To start with, we will rebuild the design style and functionality of your Umbraco website in WordPress. We can use any WordPress framework you are comfortable with, though our recommendation for the most cost effective and easy to use would be Elementor.
Content Mapping
The hardest part of migrating Umbraco to WordPress is importing content in the right way from Umbraco to WordPress. Automated tools are notoriously unreliable and can only cope with simple websites. We will create a script to map all Umbraco nodes using JSON to the appropriate fields within WordPress, so that all pages, posts, meta data and images are imported correctly and into the right places.
Testing & Going Live
After importing and mapping all Umbraco content, then applying the appropriate page templates and functionality, we will thoroughly test the website and get it ready for go live. This will involve checking that the existing site structure has been preserved including the meta data, any required redirects are in place, and that all functionality is working as intended. After you go live, we are available to provide you with WordPress support for your new site.

- Check that all pages, posts and downloadable content has been correctly migrated from Umbraco to WordPress
- Does your WordPress site have the same design and functionality? Check that all functionality works as it should, it could be different on WordPress
- Is your newly migrated site fully mobile responsive? If it wasn't before, should it be now?
- Use view page source by right clicking with your mouse on a page or post to check that the meta data is correct and matches your old site
- Ensure that you are using the correct domain prefix, if you are using www on your old website, your new site on WordPress should do the same
- Check that any scripts used for marketing, analytics or embedding third party services have been placed in the correct place on your new WordPress website, or these services may break
