Which CMSs can be migrated to Wagtail?

Most of them: WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, TYPO3, SPIP, a custom CMS, or a platform such as Wix, Squarespace or Webflow. Only the way content is read changes: from the database when we can access it, from the published site otherwise.

Can we keep our URLs and search rankings?

Yes. Key addresses can be kept exactly as they are, and all others get a 301 redirect.

Does our site stay online during the migration?

Yes, and your team keeps publishing. Publishing is only frozen for a few days before the switch.

How long does a migration take?

A few weeks for a site of a few dozen pages, a few months for a multilingual portal with a member area.

How much does a migration to Wagtail cost?

It is quoted after an audit of your site.

What happens to your site

Brought over

Pages and articles
Every language
Images and documents, with their alt text
URLs kept or redirected with a 301
Accounts and form submissions

Left behind

Page builder markup
Content copied from page to page
Plugins
Pages nobody reads any more

Your design

Kept as is or refreshed, your choice.

A migration does not force a redesign: the project can stay focused on content.

Our method, in three stages

1. Prepare

Audit of the site and the pages that bring traffic
Content mapping
Triage: keep, merge, archive

2. Build and migrate

Page models and design
Extraction without touching the live site
Repeatable import

3. Switch over

Page-by-page testing
Go live after a few days' freeze
Search monitoring

Your site stays online until the switch. The SEO side is covered in migrating a website without losing SEO.

Case study: the Fonds Reine Mathilde

Home page of the Fonds Reine Mathilde website, migrated from WordPress to Wagtail

The Fund's WordPress site, managed by the King Baudouin Foundation, had become hard to manage: the same content was copied from page to page.

We migrated it to Wagtail and kept its design. Duplicates are gone, calls for projects have their own module, and the team runs its site without an agency.
