Migration · WordPress → Next.js

Migrate from WordPress to Next.js — for sites that grew faster than the platform.

WordPress runs 40% of the internet for a reason. It also slows down, gets hacked, requires constant maintenance, and turns into a plug-in graveyard. We migrate WordPress to custom Next.js + Supabase when the site has outgrown the platform — usually after the third 'oh no something broke' incident.

What you keep

  • All content, posts, pages, and metadata (full WP database export)
  • Permalink structure — every URL preserved with 301 redirects
  • Categories, tags, authors, and post relationships
  • Media library — images converted to AVIF + WebP
  • Comments (optional — we can migrate or sunset)

What you gain

  • No more plug-in cascades

    Every plug-in that 'almost works.' Every update that breaks something else. Replaced by custom code that does exactly what your business needs.

  • 10-50× faster page loads

    WP with caching is fine. WP with caching + Yoast + WPML + WooCommerce + 14 other plug-ins is brutal. Next.js + edge handles it without the bloat.

  • No more security patches

    WP requires monthly attention to stay safe. Next.js on Vercel auto-patches the runtime. Your only attack surface is the code we write.

  • Lower hosting + maintenance

    $25-50/mo managed WP + plug-ins → ~$20/mo Vercel + Supabase. Plus zero hours/month patching.

How the migration runs

  1. 01

    Database + media export

    Full WP export via their tooling. We pull content, metadata, taxonomy, users, comments.

  2. 02

    Content model design

    WP's 'everything is a post' becomes a typed content model in Supabase or MDX, depending on what fits your editing workflow.

  3. 03

    Rebuild + redirect map

    Site rebuilt on Next.js, URL structure preserved, 301 redirects for any path that has to change.

  4. 04

    Editing workflow handoff

    We set up your editing flow — either Markdown via GitHub, a Supabase admin we build, or Sanity / Contentful / Decap if you want a hosted CMS. No more wp-admin.

  5. 05

    Cutover + monitoring

    DNS swap, sitemap, Search Console, monitoring for 30 days. WP host can be wound down after 2 stable weeks.

What it costs

Typical range

$3,500 – $9,000+

Pure migration is $3,500-5,000 depending on content volume + custom plug-in replacements. WooCommerce → custom Stripe is +$2,500.

Common questions

  • Will we lose our SEO?

    WP-to-Next.js is the migration where SEO usually IMPROVES the most because WP performance is often the bottleneck. 301 redirects preserve URL equity, and the speed + schema upgrades compound for 60-90 days.

  • Who edits content after we leave WP?

    Three options, your call: Markdown files in a GitHub repo (best for tech-comfortable teams), a custom Supabase admin we build (best for you-only editing), or a hosted CMS like Sanity/Contentful (best if multiple non-technical editors).

  • What about our WooCommerce store?

    WooCommerce → Stripe + a small custom checkout is a clean lift. You keep the products, prices, and customer history. Plus you stop paying WooCommerce extension fees.

  • Are we locked into your stack forever?

    Code is yours. Next.js + Supabase are open standards — any agency on earth can pick it up. We hand you the keys.
