Structured content at scale
Contentful's content model separates content from presentation — so your team defines content once and reuses it across pages, markets, and channels without duplication.

WordPress to Contentful Migration
WordPress got you here. But as your content operations grow, its limitations become harder to work around. We migrate teams to Contentful — rebuilding your frontend on a modern stack and giving your editors a content platform that actually scales.
Signs your WordPress site is ready for Contentful
Content changes that should take minutes require developer involvement. As your team scales, that bottleneck becomes increasingly costly.
WordPress has no structured content reuse model — so the same content gets copied across multiple pages. Contentful solves this at the architecture level.
Contentful carries SOC 2, ISO 27001, and HIPAA certifications as standard. WordPress hosting cannot reliably provide the same guarantees for enterprise procurement teams.
WordPress multisite setups are notoriously difficult to maintain at scale. Contentful's organisation model handles multiple markets and brands in a single, governed environment.
Every WordPress plugin adds risk — security vulnerabilities, conflicts, and performance issues. Contentful has no plugin dependency for core functionality.
Without a structured content model, WordPress page builders create visual drift over time — different layouts, inconsistent components, and a site that's harder to maintain with every new page added.
Why teams migrate from WordPress to Contentful
-
-
Enterprise compliance built in
Contentful carries SOC 2, ISO 27001, and HIPAA compliance certifications as standard — meeting procurement and security requirements that WordPress hosting cannot reliably provide. -
Marketing team independence
Contentful's editorial interface gives marketing teams real control — without developer involvement for every update. Faster campaigns, faster time to market, less dev queue dependency.

How our WordPress to Contentful migration works
Audit
We review your WordPress setup, content types, plugins, integrations, SEO structure, and frontend — before anything else.
Content modelling
We design your Contentful content type structure from scratch — mapped to how your team actually creates and manages content.
Frontend rebuild
We rebuild your frontend in Next.js or Astro — pixel accurate to your existing design, connected to Contentful's API.
Migration & validation
Content migrated in full and validated in a Contentful staging environment before go-live.
Training & handover
Your team gets trained on Contentful before launch. Full documentation included.
Frequently asked questions
Not if it's done properly. We map all URLs, implement redirects, and validate metadata before going live.
Not if the migration is managed properly. We map every URL, implement redirects, and validate all metadata before go-live.
You don't need to redesign — but the frontend does need to be rebuilt in code. We use your existing design as reference and rebuild it in Next.js or Astro. If you want a redesign at the same time, we can handle that too.
Typically 8 to 14 weeks for a mid-market site depending on content volume, plugin complexity, and frontend rebuild scope.
We audit every plugin dependency upfront and replace or rebuild what's needed — no surprises mid-project.
For day-to-day content — no. For structural changes to the content model or frontend, yes — same as any CMS.
