WordPress to JAMstack Transformation

JAMstack (JavaScript, APIs, and Markup) is a modern architecture that delivers better performance, higher security, lower cost of scaling, and improved developer experience. While WordPress is powerful, JAMstack sites typically load 2-10x faster, have virtually no security vulnerabilities, and cost significantly less to host and scale. For businesses, this means improved conversion rates, better SEO rankings, and a significant reduction in ongoing maintenance costs.

Not with our migration process. We implement comprehensive SEO preservation strategies including proper redirects, structured data migration, and metadata optimization. Many of our clients actually see ranking improvements due to the performance benefits of JAMstack sites, which is a key ranking factor for Google. We maintain a detailed SEO audit trail throughout the migration to ensure all valuable SEO assets are preserved and enhanced.

Project timelines depend on site complexity and scope. Starter migrations typically take 2-4 weeks, Business migrations 4-8 weeks, and Enterprise migrations 8-12 weeks. We'll provide a specific timeline during your consultation based on your site's unique requirements. Our process is designed to minimize disruption to your business, with most migrations completed without any downtime for your users.

Absolutely! We implement modern headless CMS solutions that provide intuitive content editing interfaces—often more streamlined than WordPress itself. Your team will be fully trained on the new system, which typically offers a cleaner, more focused content editing experience. Depending on your needs, we can implement solutions ranging from developer-friendly markdown files to full-featured visual editors similar to what you're used to with WordPress.

We analyze all your plugin functionality during the assessment phase and implement equivalent solutions in your JAMstack architecture. Most plugin functions can be replaced with more performant, API-based alternatives or serverless functions that actually enhance the original functionality. Our developers have experience implementing JAMstack equivalents for most common WordPress plugins, including WooCommerce, Yoast SEO, Contact Form 7, and many others.

JAMstack sites handle forms and dynamic features through APIs and serverless functions. For forms, we typically implement solutions using Netlify Forms, AWS Lambda, or similar services that securely process form submissions without the security vulnerabilities of traditional server-side processing. For dynamic features like search, user authentication, or e-commerce, we integrate with best-in-class APIs and services that provide excellent performance and security without the overhead of a traditional CMS.

Yes, all your marketing tools will continue to work seamlessly. In fact, JAMstack sites often provide better data tracking capabilities due to their improved performance and architecture. We ensure all your analytics, tracking scripts, and marketing pixels are properly implemented in the new site. Additionally, we can help implement more advanced tracking setups like server-side analytics if that's something you're interested in exploring.

Security is one of the major benefits of JAMstack. Traditional WordPress sites require constant updates and security patches to stay secure. JAMstack sites dramatically reduce attack surfaces since there's no database or server-side code exposed to potential attackers. This means fewer vulnerabilities, less maintenance, and virtually no risk of common exploits like SQL injection, cross-site scripting, or plugin vulnerabilities that plague WordPress sites.

JAMstack hosting is typically much more cost-effective than comparable WordPress hosting, especially for high-traffic sites. Many JAMstack sites can be hosted on free or low-cost tiers of services like Netlify, Vercel, or GitHub Pages. Even enterprise-level JAMstack hosting usually costs a fraction of what you'd pay for WordPress hosting with similar performance and scalability. Plus, the serverless approach means you're often only paying for what you actually use, rather than constantly provisioning servers to handle traffic spikes.

We provide comprehensive training and documentation so your team can make content updates independently. For design or functionality changes, we offer flexible support packages to meet your ongoing needs. Many clients choose to start with a maintenance package for the first few months after launch, then transition to as-needed support once they're comfortable with the new system. We can also set up automated deployment workflows that make it easy for your developers to contribute to the site if you have an in-house team.
