Sitecore to WordPress migration
While Sitecore is one of the top enterprise CMS platforms out there, it can get really expensive with its licensing fees, infrastructure costs, and, not to mention, its extremely complex upgrades (which often feel like full replatforming projects—and usually are). And we aren’t even talking about the highly customized Sitecore setups here.
User-friendliness is another concern. To be fair, Sitecore XM Cloud does come with a sleek editor (Pages). But if you’re still using one of Sitecore’s legacy solutions, you’re looking at yet another upgrade or migration—to XM Cloud! You see the problem, right?
Operationally too, Sitecore is challenging. That’s because its developer community is relatively niche, making it harder and more expensive to find specialized talent.
Among Sitecore alternatives, WordPress stands out as a cost-effective, user-friendly, and sustainable CMS solution, backed by a vast developer ecosystem.
In summary, migrating from Sitecore to WordPress means complete flexibility, cost-efficiency, and a more user-friendly experience—without the endless cycle of complex upgrades and mounting infrastructure expenses.
You can read more about the benefits of migrating from Sitecore to WordPress in our Sitecore vs WordPress handbook. In fact, when it comes to Sitecore competitors, WordPress is often the best choice for most businesses.
In this guide, we’re breaking down the process of migrating from Sitecore to WordPress for you. On a high level, the Sitecore to WordPress migration process involves three key stages, and we’ve structured this handbook around them:
- Migrating your Sitecore backend: This involves recreating all the backend features, functionalities, and third-party integrations from your Sitecore setup on WordPress.
- Migrating your Sitecore frontend: This is where you transfer your design and all your user-facing stuff to your new WordPress environment.
- Migrating your Sitecore content: Finally, you’ll move all your existing content from Sitecore to WordPress.
If you have in-house development bandwidth, this guide will provide you with the exact steps you need to take to execute the migration successfully. Alternatively, you can hire us to handle the entire process for you. Check out our Sitecore to WordPress migration service for more.
