Pages, posts, and media move over intact.
Existing URLs and redirects preserved so rankings don't drop.
Off the plugin treadmill and onto a maintained stack.
$3,000 flat for most sites. Under 5 pages, reach out for a custom quote.
From the outside, nothing changes. Same design, same content, same URLs. Underneath, everything does.
WordPress accumulates risk quietly. Every plugin is another maintainer, another update cycle, another way in. Most breaches trace back to an outdated plugin nobody thought to update. We move you onto a stack with no plugin layer to exploit, monitored dependencies, and security headers configured at the platform level.
It's faster (no plugin bloat, no tracking scripts slowing the first paint), more accessible (built and tested to WCAG 2.1 AA instead of hoping the theme handles it), and actually yours. The full codebase lives in your own repository, not locked to a theme or plugin ecosystem you're renting access to.
It's also built for how people find things now. Structured data and an llms.txt file mean AI assistants can read and cite your site accurately, not just Google. And it's built to your site's actual structure, not squeezed into a page-builder's box.
Fewer than 5 pages? Reach out for a custom quote rather than the flat rate. A small site usually needs a different shape of engagement.
A migration, not a redesign. If your site also needs new structure, content, or strategy, we'll tell you that up front and scope it separately. No surprise add-ons.
Teams on WordPress who want off the maintenance treadmill but like their current content and want to keep it, and want the parts you can't see to finally be trustworthy.
Move your existing WordPress site onto a faster, safer stack without losing content, URLs, or rankings. Same design and content, without a plugin layer to patch, and with a portal that shows how your site is doing.
Search clicks, sessions, PageSpeed, leads and AI mentions on one screen, compared with last period.
Each week we ask ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity the questions your customers ask, and show whether you come up.
Every month: dependencies checked, updates applied, integrations confirmed, in plain language.
The content map comes with every migration. A content plan is scoped separately, so the migration price stays fixed.
A migration doesn't have to mean a redesign. Here's what's different underneath, and how it compares with having AI build you a new site.
| Features | WordPress | AI-built site | Loam Rebuild What you get |
|---|---|---|---|
Plugin attack surface | Every plugin is a potential vulnerability | No plugins, but keys and databases are often left exposed | None. No plugin layer to exploit. |
Page speed | Slowed by plugin bloat and tracking scripts | Varies by tool | Server-rendered and edge-delivered |
Accessibility | Depends on the theme, rarely tested | Rarely tested | Built and tested to WCAG 2.1 AA |
Edit content yourself | Yes, in the WordPress admin | Back to the prompt box, or pay a developer | Yes, in a private admin built around your content |
If your developer or AI tool disappears | Still editable; the plugins still need someone | No admin to fall back on; every change is new code | Still editable in the CMS, and the team behind the foundation is still here |
Edits stay on-brand | Easy to drift with a page builder | Each prompt can change parts you didn't ask it to | Sections already designed for your brand |
Drafts, live preview and history | |||
Design flexibility | Boxed in by the theme's page builder | Whatever the generator produces | Built to your exact structure, not a template |
Code ownership | Tied to a theme and plugin ecosystem | Varies by tool | You own the full codebase, in your own repo |
Adding a new feature | Usually means installing another plugin | Another prompt, which can rewrite what you didn't ask it to | Built into a structure designed to extend |
AI & search visibility | Whatever the SEO plugin happens to do | Often missing: titles, structured data, sitemap | Structured data and llms.txt built in from day one |
Ready for AI agents (WebMCP) | |||
Ongoing maintenance | Manual plugin and core updates, on you | Nobody applying updates | Monitored and patched as part of your plan |
Reporting portal | Separate tools you set up yourself | None | Included: traffic, search, AI visibility and your content map |
Monthly security review, reported to you | If you hire it | ||
People who know your site | Whoever you find | You and a prompt box | Loam |
We read every page, post and image on your site, including tab and accordion content.
Your pages are rebuilt on the Loam foundation, matching your current design.
Every existing URL is kept or redirected, so your rankings hold.
You check it, sign off, and we cut over. No daily involvement needed.
Monthly security reviews and your portal, from day one.
No. Visually it's the same site. What changes is everything underneath: security, performance, accessibility, and ownership.
That's the whole point of the redirect and URL preservation work. Existing URLs and redirects are set up specifically so rankings hold.
Yes. Text, images, pages, menus, FAQs and more are edited in a private admin, with drafts and live preview. And because it's a real CMS, your site stays editable even if your developer or an AI tool is no longer around.
Yes. Every migration includes the Loam portal: search and site traffic, AI visibility, PageSpeed and your content map, refreshed weekly.
AI builders can produce a good-looking first draft fast. The trouble starts on day two: most have no content management system, so every change means going back to the prompt box or paying someone to edit code nobody planned.
Reach out for a custom quote instead of the flat $3,000 rate. A small site usually needs a different shape of engagement, and we'll price it plainly.
We handle the technical move. You'll want to be reachable to confirm content and give final sign-off before we cut over, but this isn't a project that needs your daily involvement.
