    How the Weebly to WordPress Migration Works

    Your Weebly site will be manually rebuilt on WordPress — including layout, content, images, forms, and basic SEO — with precision and care. Here's a step-by-step look at how the process unfolds:

    Free Intro Call or Message

    You show me your existing Weebly website and tell me what you’d like to achieve with WordPress. I’ll answer any questions and give honest feedback to help you decide if it’s the right move.

    Clear Scope & Fixed Quote

    We’ll define what’s included — the number of pages, any custom features, and timeline. You’ll receive a flat-rate quote with no hidden costs or surprise charges.

    Initial Draft & Feedback

    I’ll create the first draft of your new WordPress site, closely matching your original design and layout. You’ll get to review it and request changes before the full migration begins.

    Full Manual Site Transfer

    I’ll complete the migration by hand — moving all content, setting up your pages, configuring forms, images, and on-page SEO. No shortcuts or automation. Most sites are ready within 5–7 business days.

      FAQ

      A: Yes — in most cases, switching from Weebly to WordPress is a smart and future-proof decision. While Weebly was once a popular drag-and-drop website builder, the platform is no longer actively developed. Since being acquired by Square, Weebly has seen minimal updates, and its long-term roadmap is unclear. In fact, Square is gradually shifting focus to its own eCommerce platform, leaving Weebly in maintenance mode.

      That means while existing Weebly sites still function for now, there’s no guarantee they’ll continue working long-term — and support or new features are unlikely. There’s a growing risk that the platform could eventually be phased out altogether.

      In contrast, WordPress is actively maintained, open-source, and highly customizable. It gives you full control over your design, features, hosting, and SEO. It’s trusted by millions of businesses, bloggers, and developers worldwide — and it’s built to grow with your needs.

      So if you’re looking for a stable, flexible, and future-ready platform, moving to WordPress is highly recommended.
      A: Most Weebly to WordPress migrations take 5 to 7 business days, depending on the size and complexity of your site. During this time, your existing Weebly site remains fully online and accessible — there’s no downtime or disruption for your visitors.

      The entire migration is done offline in a staging environment, where I manually rebuild your site on WordPress. Once you’re happy with the results and give final approval, we connect your domain to the new WordPress version — usually within minutes.

      This approach ensures a smooth, interruption-free transition, with zero impact on your live site until everything is ready to launch.

      Need it faster? In many cases, rush delivery is available — just ask!
      A: That’s the goal. I do my best to recreate your Weebly site’s design and structure as closely as possible — manually, page by page. In many cases, I’m also able to enhance certain elements for better performance, SEO, or usability thanks to WordPress’s greater flexibility.

      If there are any parts that can’t be replicated exactly, I’ll let you know upfront and we’ll discuss the best alternatives before the work begins, so there are no surprises.
      A: Yes, you can absolutely keep your existing domain name when migrating from Weebly to WordPress. Your domain belongs to you — whether it’s registered through Weebly, Square, or a third-party registrar.

      If your domain is currently registered through Weebly/Square, I can either:

      • Help you connect it to your new WordPress site (while keeping it hosted where it is).
      • Assist with transferring the domain to a new registrar or your hosting provider, if you prefer full control in one place.
      The domain setup is handled after your new WordPress site is ready, so your current Weebly site stays online during the process. Once the new site is approved, I’ll point your domain to WordPress, and the transition will be smooth — typically within minutes, with no downtime.

      You’ll get full guidance on how the domain works, and I’ll take care of the technical part for you.
      A: Yes — once your site is moved to WordPress, you’ll have full access and control. You’ll be able to edit content, add pages, upload images, and manage most of the site through a user-friendly dashboard. I build everything with ease of use in mind, even if you’re not tech-savvy.

      If you’d like, I can also provide a quick walkthrough or tutorial so you feel confident managing things on your own.

      Need help later on? Absolutely — I offer ongoing support, updates, and maintenance plans upon request. Whether it’s troubleshooting, adding new features, or keeping your site secure and up to date, I’ll be here if you need assistance after the launch.

      How to Migrate on Your Own – A Simple Guide

      If you’re planning to make the switch and want to handle the migration yourself, this simplified 8-step guide is for you. It walks you through the entire process, from backing up your content to launching your new WordPress site smoothly and successfully.

      Prepare and Backup Your Weebly Website

      • Copy all important text into a document or editor
      • Download all images and media manually
      • Use tools like SiteSucker or HTTrack for a static site copy

      Before starting the migration, it’s essential to secure a full backup of your Weebly site. Since Weebly doesn’t offer a direct export feature, everything must be saved manually. Copy your page text into documents, organize images into folders, and optionally use a site copier tool to capture a local snapshot of your website’s layout for reference.

      Collect Blog Posts and Special Content

      • Manually copy your blog posts into Google Docs or Word
      • Save form entries, reviews, and product descriptions
      • Use scraping tools only if content volume is high

      Weebly doesn’t provide a native blog export tool, so your best option is to manually save each blog post, including titles, categories, and publish dates. If your site includes additional content like testimonials, downloadable files, or product pages, these should be saved as well. For large content libraries, you may automate parts of the process with scraping tools, but be cautious to preserve formatting and accuracy.

      Choose Hosting and Set Up WordPress

      • Register for a WordPress-friendly hosting plan
      • Install WordPress (most hosts offer 1-click install)
      • Pick a theme that fits your style and structure

      WordPress requires hosting, unlike Weebly which is all-in-one. Choose a reliable hosting provider with solid performance and WordPress support. Once installed, select a theme: either a free option from the WordPress directory or a premium template, and prepare your site’s foundation for rebuilding content.

      Rebuild Your Website Structure

      • Create all key pages manually: Home, About, Services, etc.
      • Set up site navigation using WordPress menus
      • Match the original structure from Weebly for a smooth UX

      This step involves recreating the "skeleton" of your old site. Start by creating static pages in WordPress for each main section of your site. Then organize them into a clear menu structure. Matching your original navigation helps returning visitors feel comfortable and improves usability during the transition.

      Transfer and Format Page Content

      • Paste saved text into WordPress pages or posts
      • Upload media and assign them to the correct locations
      • Use the Gutenberg editor or a page builder for layout

      With your structure in place, it’s time to add content. Use WordPress’s block editor or your preferred visual builder to format each page. Insert text, add images, and rebuild galleries or special sections. Pay close attention to headings and spacing to ensure readability and design consistency.

      Extend Functionality with Plugins

      • Install key plugins for forms, SEO, caching, and backups
      • Replace Weebly features with powerful WordPress tools
      • Use WooCommerce if you’re migrating a store

      Plugins are what make WordPress flexible. You can replicate or improve on almost every Weebly feature with dedicated plugins. For example, WPForms replaces Weebly forms, Rank Math boosts SEO, and UpdraftPlus handles backups. Add only the plugins you need and configure them for optimal performance.

      Connect and Configure Your Domain

      • Keep your existing domain by pointing DNS to WordPress host
      • Or transfer the domain for full management in one place
      • Allow 24–48 hours for DNS propagation after changes

      To keep your existing website address, you’ll need to update your domain’s DNS records. You can do this at your domain registrar (like GoDaddy, Namecheap, etc.) by entering the new nameservers from your WordPress host. If you prefer, you can also transfer the domain fully to your host for easier management.

      Final SEO Setup and Launch

      • Set up 301 redirects to preserve SEO rankings
      • Submit a sitemap to Google Search Console
      • Test the full site before going live

      Before launching, thoroughly test your new WordPress site. Check all links, forms, and buttons. Use a plugin or .htaccess file to create redirects from your old Weebly URLs to the new ones. This protects your SEO.

      Don’t forget to verify your site with Google Search Console and submit a sitemap for indexing. Once everything’s ready, go live and monitor your performance.
