Moving a WordPress website to SiteSnug
Moving from WordPress to SiteSnug means migrating agreed content into SiteSnug's supported layouts. It does not run WordPress themes or plugins on a new host. The decision starts with the pages your visitors need and the systems your business relies on.
Separate content from the software that displays it
Text and available images can often be reused when you have the rights to them. A theme's layout, a plugin's behavior, a store's order processing or a membership system requires more than copying text. Record those dependencies before deciding to move.
| Existing item | SiteSnug approach | Decision before work |
|---|---|---|
| Public pages and text | Copy agreed content into supported page layouts. | Confirm the page list and needed formatting. |
| Images and PDFs | Use available files with permission to reuse them. | Check missing files, downloads and storage limits. |
| Theme or page-builder design | Use SiteSnug layouts rather than executing the WordPress theme. | Agree which layout changes are acceptable or need custom scope. |
| Forms and booking | Review each contact or booking path individually. | Decide whether to retain an external link or arrange another integration. |
| Store, membership or custom plugin | No automatic transfer of the application. | Agree a separate supported solution or keep that system elsewhere. |
| Old URLs and SEO metadata | Review paths, preserve them where practical and agree redirects. | Record the old-to-new map and launch checks. |
A WordPress export is a starting point, not a complete website copy
WordPress's own export documentation describes the content in its export file. That file is useful for inventory and backup, but a SiteSnug migration is reviewed against supported content and layouts. Do not assume a WordPress export is a supported direct import into SiteSnug.
Keep a separate copy of media files and any content or settings needed from custom systems. Confirm what a page builder or plugin contributes to each visible page. Avoid relying only on a sitemap if important pages are omitted from it.
When does moving make sense?
SiteSnug is a fit to review when your website primarily explains your business, services, hours, location and documents, and you want a dashboard with private previews before publishing. You can edit supported content yourself, connect an API-capable AI tool with technical setup, or request separately quoted updates.
Staying with WordPress may make more sense if your business depends on its store, membership features, plugin workflow or a design you want to keep unchanged. A lower-cost existing plan may already be cheaper. Compare the full website costs, not just hosting prices.
Keep important addresses and contact paths under review
Use a URL inventory to identify what stays, what moves and where redirects are needed. Preserve paths when practical, check titles and descriptions, and test contact and booking links in the preview and again after launch. No migration vendor can guarantee that search rankings remain unchanged.
The migration checklist and downloadable URL worksheet cover the review. Keep your domain and mailbox services available during the move; moving website pages does not transfer mailboxes.
What does the SiteSnug migration include?
The written quote defines the work. Published starting prices are $499 per site for up to 10 pages or $999 per site for up to 100 pages, subject to review. Larger or more involved work needs a custom quote; above 100 pages also needs capacity confirmation. Ongoing hosting and managed updates are separate.
Send the current website address, the important pages, and the features you rely on. A public review or estimate does not approve work or payment. Read the migration scope and pricing, or see the real pilot before deciding.
