WordPress conversion strategy

Why convert to WordPress?

WordPress is the most popular Content Management System (CMS) available, powering the majority of websites across the world. The platform is free and very beginner-friendly. However, you'll need to pay for a hosting service and domain name registration.

Removes restrictions

Some first-time site owners opt for all-in-one solutions like Wix or Squarespace, which enable users to build and host their websites on the same platform. However, these solutions are restrictive when it comes to site customization and scalability.

More features, customizations, and settings

WordPress, on the other hand, enables you to build any type of site and customize it however you like. Once you convert to WordPress, you can take advantage of all its features and benefits. You'll become a WordPress convert and not want to go back to any other platform.

Reasons to convert to WordPress

Let's take a closer look at why you might want to convert a static site to WordPress.

While there's no "convert" button to facilitate the switch to WordPress, our expert team of web developers can make the process easy. In fact, you won't have to know how to convert a website to WordPress - we'll handle the entire procedure of converting your existing website to WordPress - from start to finish.

1

Freedom

As a free and open-source platform, WordPress gives you total control over your site. You own your content, and there are no restrictions. Other website building solutions may not offer the same degree of freedom and control. If your site is powered by software that is developed and maintained by your hosting company, then you risk losing all of your work if something goes wrong on their end. Thus, the sooner you convert to WordPress the better, since you own the entire site (not just the content).

2

Flexibility

With a WordPress site, you have the ability to back up your content to your computer or a more secure location. You can also easily migrate your WordPress site from one hosting company to another. By doing a WordPress conversion, you'll have access to a broad database of free plugins that can amplify your site's functionality. These include page builders, contact forms, email marketing software, social media tools, and much more. You can even add custom code to your site if you like - something that other platforms don't let you easily do.

3

Cost

Running a WordPress site is very cost effective. You can download the platform for free, and build a basic yet functional site without breaking the bank. Switching to WordPress will also save you a lot of money in the long run. You're not restricted to a fixed monthly or annual fee, as is normally the case with other website builders. After converting your site to WordPress you will need to pay a fee for WordPress hosting. However, down the road, you could switch to a cheaper solution if your current one becomes unaffordable - though weighing the benefits of your provider should be considered before choosing the cheapest option.

4

Unlimited options and features

The sky's the limit once you've become a WordPress convert. There are thousands of themes and templates available, many of which are free. You can also customize these themes to your needs, or use page builders to design your content from scratch. There's also a wealth of tools you can use to enhance your site. Whatever feature you might want, there's likely a plugin that fits your needs. Since WordPress is an open-source platform, there's a large pool of WordPress developers who are constantly creating new tools for site owners.

Can't I just use a WordPress backup plugin?

Benefits of a true WordPress backup solution vs plugin options

It's true that there are dozens of WordPress backup plugins to choose from. This includes free plugins, premium options, and everything in between. At Saqrih, we've helped thousands of clients migrate away from WordPress backup plugins. When you consider the benefits, it's easy to see why!

Think of this as having a safety shield around your site. We run layered checks, verify backups, and keep restore points healthy so your content remains protected if something unexpected happens.

Backups are scheduled and optimized to run quietly in the background. Visitors keep getting a smooth browsing experience while your backup routine continues without creating a bottleneck.

No spreadsheets, no reminders, no manual exports. Once configured, the process is automatic and predictable, so your team can focus on product, marketing, and growth work instead.

If a rollback is needed, recovery is direct and fast. You can return to a known-good version without rebuilding pages one by one or spending hours troubleshooting broken changes.
