WordPress is a capable and widely used CMS, but websites can become increasingly complex as they depend on themes, page builders, plugins and custom configurations.
Craft CMS takes a different approach to content management. Instead of forcing your website into a predefined content structure, Craft allows developers to model content around the specific needs of your business.
Craft describes this as a blank-slate approach to content modeling, allowing teams to define their own sections, entry types, fields and relationships.
A migration to Craft CMS can be particularly useful when you need:
What We Migrate from WordPress to Craft CMS
A WordPress migration is more than exporting pages and importing them into another database.
We review the existing WordPress installation and map its content and functionality to the Craft CMS architecture. Depending on your website, we can migrate:
Pages and Posts
Migrate pages, blog posts, publishing dates, authors, excerpts, slugs and other relevant content.
Custom Post Types
Map WordPress custom post types to appropriate Craft sections and entry types.
Advanced Custom Fields
ACF-based content can often be mapped to Craft custom fields. Craft’s first-party WordPress import tooling supports many ACF field types and can replicate parts of the existing content structure.
Gutenberg Content
We can assess Gutenberg blocks and determine the appropriate Craft representation, including structured content and rich-text content. Craft’s current WordPress import tooling supports a broad range of Gutenberg block types and can map supported content into Craft.
Categories and Tags
Migrate categories, tags and their relationships while adapting the taxonomy structure to Craft.
Media and Assets
Migrate images and other media assets and organize them within Craft asset volumes.
Users
Where required and technically appropriate, user information can be migrated and mapped to Craft users.
Custom Data
If your WordPress website contains custom database tables, bespoke functionality or data stored by third-party plugins, we can assess and develop a custom migration strategy.
WordPress Plugins: What Happens to Them?
Plugins cannot simply be copied from WordPress into Craft CMS.
Instead, we audit the functionality provided by your existing plugins and determine how each feature should be handled in the new Craft website. Depending on the functionality, we may:
This approach prevents your new Craft website from simply reproducing unnecessary technical dependencies from the old WordPress installation.
WordPress to Craft CMS Migration Process
Website Audit
We review your WordPress installation, including:
The objective is to understand what needs to be migrated, rebuilt, replaced or removed.
Migration Planning
We create a migration plan covering content mapping, Craft content modeling, URL mapping, functionality, integrations and SEO requirements.
Craft CMS Content Modeling
We design the Craft CMS content structure around your actual business requirements rather than simply reproducing WordPress’s database structure.
This can include sections, entry types, custom fields, relationships, categories, tags and assets.
Content Migration
We migrate the agreed content and data into the new Craft CMS installation.
For WordPress websites using supported configurations, Craft provides a dedicated wp-import workflow for importing content into Craft.
For complex websites, we can build custom migration scripts or use APIs and other migration methods as required.
Website Development
We rebuild the front end using Craft CMS and Twig, recreating the required layouts, components, functionality and integrations.
SEO Migration
We map existing URLs and review important SEO elements including:
Testing
Before launch, we test content, templates, forms, integrations, responsive layouts, redirects, links and important user journeys.
Launch
Once the migration has been tested and approved, we deploy the new Craft CMS website and monitor the launch for potential issues.
Protecting SEO During WordPress to Craft CMS Migration
A CMS migration can create SEO problems when URLs or content structures change without a proper migration strategy.
Our approach includes identifying existing URLs and mapping them to their new destinations.
Where URLs need to change, we implement appropriate redirects and test them before launch.
We also review important SEO elements such as metadata, canonical URLs, structured data, internal links and XML sitemaps.
The objective is not simply to move your content—it is to move the website while protecting the organic search value you have already built.
What About WooCommerce?
If your WordPress website uses WooCommerce, the migration requires additional planning.
Products, categories, variations, customers, orders, payment integrations and other eCommerce functionality need to be evaluated separately.
Depending on the project requirements, we can assess a migration to Craft Commerce or another suitable eCommerce architecture.
Craft’s current WordPress import tooling does not directly import WooCommerce products and orders, so eCommerce migrations should be treated as a customized project rather than a standard content import.
WordPress Page Builders and Custom Themes
Websites built using Elementor, Divi, WPBakery or other proprietary page-building systems require additional analysis.
Rather than attempting to reproduce the page builder inside Craft, we can rebuild the website around a structured Craft content model and reusable components.
This can provide a cleaner long-term editing experience and reduce dependence on proprietary page-builder structures.

Frequently Asked Questions
At UXI360 InfoTech, we believe in complete transparency and clear communication. Here are some of the most common questions our clients ask about our services, processes, and support.
The timeline depends on the size and complexity of the website. A small content-focused website can be considerably simpler than a large website with custom post types, ACF, complex Gutenberg content, third-party integrations or eCommerce functionality.
After reviewing your website, we can provide a more accurate estimate.
Where possible, we can preserve existing URL structures. If URLs need to change, we create a URL mapping and implement appropriate redirects.
Yes. We can assess your ACF configuration and map supported fields to Craft’s content model. Craft's current WordPress import tooling supports many ACF field types.
Yes. We can assess your Gutenberg implementation and determine the best way to represent the content in Craft.
Craft's WordPress import tooling supports a broad range of Gutenberg blocks.
A migration does not automatically mean losing rankings. However, incorrect URL changes, missing redirects, lost metadata or technical problems can negatively affect organic visibility.
We therefore include SEO and URL considerations as part of the migration planning and testing process.
Yes. Multilingual websites can be migrated, but the exact approach depends on how languages are implemented in WordPress and which multilingual architecture will be used in Craft.
Plugins themselves are not transferred directly. We evaluate the functionality provided by each plugin and determine whether it should be replaced with native Craft functionality, a Craft plugin, custom development or another solution.
