Leave WordPress without losing the path Google and your clients know
Pillar 01 · Websites
// In brief
I move websites off WordPress to Astro and Cloudflare: no plugins to update and no dashboard to patch. I keep the content and redirect every old address with a 301 to its new one, so Google and the links your clients use still land in the right place. That is how I moved annadxb.eu, together with a new design.

What you get
-
Inventory of the old website
A list of every address, page and image before I touch anything. Nothing gets lost on the way.
-
A 301 redirect map
Every old address has its new counterpart. Links from Google, Instagram and listings keep working.
-
Content and images moved
Copy tidied up, photos converted to light formats (WebP/AVIF).
-
A new look or a faithful refresh
We can change everything, or keep the character of the website and just put it in order.
-
No more plugins
An Astro website on Cloudflare has no dashboard to break into and no plugins to update every week.
-
Checks after the switch
I test the old addresses and the sitemap and report the changes in Google Search Console.
Who it is for
Example industries. Where I have built a website for a similar business, you can see it.

Beauty salons
An old WordPress website replaced with a new one, with the old addresses redirected.

Service businesses
A WordPress business card that loads slowly and needs constant updates.
-
Websites that rarely change
Services, contact, a few pages: here an admin dashboard is more trouble than it is worth.
How it works, step by step
- 01
Review of the old website
I list the addresses, content, forms and whatever brings traffic from Google.
- 02
Plan and quote
We agree what moves, what changes and what goes. You get a quote.
- 03
New website alongside the old one
I build on a working address. The old website keeps running until the end.
- 04
Domain switch
I turn on the new website and the 301 redirects at the same time.
- 05
Post-launch checks
I watch 404 errors and Search Console in the first weeks and fix what is needed.
Frequently asked questions
Will I lose my Google rankings?
301 redirects tell Google where the new version of every page is, so the risk is small. Short fluctuations after a move do happen; that is why I watch the addresses and Search Console after launch.
Why leave WordPress at all?
If the website rarely changes, WordPress mostly brings chores: plugin updates, the risk of a break-in, slower loading. A static website on Cloudflare is faster and has nothing to patch.
What if I run a WooCommerce shop?
The shop usually stays on WooCommerce, because that is where orders and payments live. I can refresh it, speed it up and tidy it.
Will the website be down during the migration?
No. The new website is built alongside, and switching the domain is a single step.
