Our Umbraco to WordPress Migration Service carefully rebuilds and migrates your entire website. We recreate your pages, block lists, custom templates, Umbraco forms, and content blocks in WordPress and migrate content & media to WordPress in a way that maintains your site’s structure & functionality. We also preserve your URL structure, metadata, redirects, and SEO settings to protect your search performance throughout the migration. The result will be a flexible platform built for marketer-led content creation. 

Why Businesses Migrate from Umbraco CMS to WordPress

Marketer-First Editing Experience

Umbraco’s Block List is powerful, but teams often still need a developer to adjust layouts or components. In WordPress, the block editor lets marketers build and update pages themselves using reusable blocks and patterns. Faster landing pages, fewer tickets. 

SEO & Content Ops, Without Roadblocks

WordPress gives marketers direct control over metadata, redirects, schemas, templates, content, on-page, and technical SEO, supported by mature SEO plugins. When SEOs can fix things on their own, issues get resolved faster and rankings improve.

Lower Total Cost Over Time

When you consider the costs of licenses, cloud hosting, deployment tools, and specialized .NET developers and support, maintaining Umbraco can be more expensive. WordPress scales more flexibly; you choose the stack that fits your business’s stage and expand only when needed.

Editorial Workflow That Fits Marketing Teams

WordPress roles, approvals, and scheduling are easier for non-technical teams. Marketers ship more, without waiting for dev cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I move from Umbraco CMS to WordPress?

Migrating from Umbraco to WordPress gives you a more flexible, cost-efficient, and marketing-friendly platform. Unlike Umbraco’s .NET-based setup that often requires technical intervention for updates, WordPress allows your team to create, edit, and manage content. 

You’ll also gain access to thousands of plugins, advanced SEO tools, and seamless integrations with CRMs, analytics, and marketing systems, resulting in lower costs, faster content delivery, and greater control over your digital presence.

What is the cost to migrate Umbraco to WordPress?

The cost of migrating from Umbraco to WordPress varies based on your site’s size, complexity, and functionality requirements. 

Factors such as the number of pages, content inventory document types, page templates, multilingual setup, integrations with third-party marketing tools, and other factors influence the overall price.

Smaller Umbraco sites with basic content management will cost less to migrate, while larger sites with complex features and advanced customization will require higher investment.

For a detailed, personalized quote for your project, please contact WPoets.

How much time does the Umbraco to WordPress migration require?

The time required to migrate from Umbraco to WordPress depends on your Umbraco installation, the number of Document Types, Content Nodes, Media items, and the level of customization used in your current setup.

For a small to mid-sized Umbraco site with standard Document Types, simple Content Trees, and regular blog posts, the migration usually takes five to six weeks.

For a larger Umbraco site with custom Data Types, Nested Content, and Macros, the migration will take approximately ten to twelve weeks.

To provide an accurate timeline, our team performs a detailed audit of your Umbraco website, reviewing your Content Tree, total Document Types, custom logic, Macros, Data Types, media library size, and any third-party integrations or workflows.

How do you ensure a successful Umbraco migration?

Our detailed migration process, careful planning, and testing protocols ensure a successful Umbraco migration with preserved SEO and a fast, functional site.

Will I lose my SEO after migrating from Umbraco to WordPress?

It’s normal to see minor ranking fluctuations right after migration, but you won’t lose your SEO if the process is done correctly.

At WPoets, we preserve your URL structure, migrate all metadata and canonical tags, implement one-to-one 301 redirects, and maintain on-page elements like headings, alt texts, internal links, and schema.

We also submit updated sitemaps, monitor crawl status via Google Search Console, and perform post-launch QA to fix 404 errors or redirect chains. While ranking changes depend on external factors, our process ensures your search visibility remains stable and your SEO foundation stays strong.

Will my website data be safe during migration?

Absolutely. Your existing Umbraco website remains untouched throughout the process. We take a full export of your site data, including all web pages, content, images, videos, and other media assets. The entire migration is performed on a secure staging server, completely separate from your live Umbraco environment.

Once the new site is thoroughly tested and approved, we schedule a final sync and go-live with zero downtime. This ensures your data stays safe, your live site remains operational, and your migration happens seamlessly.

Is the migration truly “zero downtime”?

Yes. By building a staging site and launching only after successful testing and review, visitors never see a broken or offline website. DNS and routing are updated seamlessly during off-peak hours.

Which hosting provider do you recommend?

We work with multiple top-tier hosting providers and help you choose the one that best fits your needs, budget, and scalability goals.

Do you provide security hardening for WordPress?

Yes. We install security features and configure firewalls, SSL, and monitoring tools to protect your new site.

What if I only want to migrate specific content?

We can migrate your entire site or just specific content, such as individual landing pages, blog posts, or forms, from your Umbraco CMS.

Can you migrate forms and integrations?

Yes. Umbraco forms will be rebuilt natively in WordPress without relying on third-party plugins, ensuring they match your original functionality while maintaining flexibility for future customization and integration with your marketing tools.

Do you provide detailed instructions for managing the new site?

Yes. After launch, we give you detailed instructions and training for managing blog posts, pages, menus, user management, Gutenberg blocks, the WordPress media library, customizations, and much more through the intuitive WordPress dashboard.

Will I lose my blog content and blog posts?

No. All blog content and every blog post from your Umbraco blog will be migrated to your WordPress blog with no data loss. We ensure complete preservation of your content structure, metadata, and media attachments.
