WordPress to Next.js Migration_

Q: Can WordPress stay as the CMS after migrating to Next.js?

Yes — headless WordPress via REST or GraphQL is valid short-term. Many teams move to Sanity or similar for editor UX. We pick based on who publishes content and how often.

Q: How is Next.js migration different from Astro migration?

Next.js when you need authenticated app surfaces, heavy interactivity, or unified product UI. Astro when the site is primarily content with minimal client JS. I recommend after auditing plugins and product roadmap.

Q: Will we lose SEO rankings?

Not with proper redirects, metadata parity, and sitemap handling. I run pre-launch URL diff checks and monitor Search Console after cutover for 404 spikes.

Q: Do you migrate WooCommerce to Next.js?

Selectively — catalog marketing pages and lightweight checkout flows can move. Complex Woo with many extensions needs a dedicated commerce plan, often with Stripe or a commerce API. Scoped on discovery call.

Q: What timeline should we expect?

Marketing-only migrations with designs ready: weeks to a couple months. Combined marketing + app replatforming: longer. Fixed milestones after plugin inventory and parity list.

Your marketing site lives in WordPress but the product — accounts, dashboards, checkout flows — has outgrown PHP templates. I migrate WordPress to Next.js with App Router architecture, headless content, and SEO-safe cutovers so you unify brand, app, and performance on one modern React stack.

When WordPress → Next.js makes sense

Not every WordPress site should move — these signals mean Next.js is the right exit ramp.

01

Marketing and product are split brains

WordPress for blog, separate React app for product. Next.js unifies routing, auth, and design tokens under one codebase.

02

Custom PHP plugins holding business logic

Fragile WP plugins simulate app behavior. We move logic to typed API routes and React UI you can test and extend.

03

Personalization and dynamic UX

Logged-in experiences, pricing calculators, and interactive demos need React — not Gutenberg workarounds.

04

SEO needs coexist with SPA features

App Router delivers HTML for crawlers on content pages while keeping rich interactivity on product paths — without duplicate stacks.

Next.js migration workflow

Parallel build on staging while WordPress stays live — cutover only when redirects and content parity are verified.
