Why MetaDesign

Enterprise WordPress migrations at scale.

Headless, multisite, WooCommerce — WordPress done right for enterprises leaving Sitecore.

Headless WordPress Expertise

We build decoupled WordPress architectures using WPGraphQL and Next.js frontends — delivering the editorial simplicity of WordPress with the performance of a modern JavaScript framework. Our Sitecore to WordPress migration services preserve your content while modernising your delivery layer.

Plugin Ecosystem Mastery

From Advanced Custom Fields to Yoast SEO, WooCommerce to WPML — we leverage WordPress's 60,000+ plugin ecosystem to replicate and exceed Sitecore functionality without custom development overhead. We select, configure, and optimise the right plugins for your enterprise needs.

Enterprise WordPress VIP

For enterprises demanding Sitecore-grade security, scalability, and SLA guarantees, we deploy on WordPress VIP — the managed hosting platform trusted by major media, government, and Fortune 500 organisations as their Sitecore alternative.

Media & Publishing

News outlets and digital publishers migrating from Sitecore to WordPress for its purpose-built editorial experience, Gutenberg block editor, and real-time collaborative publishing workflows — the natural Sitecore alternative for content-heavy organisations.

Corporate Websites

Enterprise corporate sites moving to WordPress for faster content updates, reduced IT dependency, and seamless integration with marketing tools like HubSpot, Marketo, and Google Analytics without Sitecore's integration complexity.

E-commerce

Retailers replacing Sitecore Commerce with WooCommerce or headless WordPress paired with Shopify — reducing platform costs while gaining access to WordPress's extensive commerce plugin ecosystem.

Marketing Microsites

Marketing teams launching campaign microsites and landing pages on WordPress instead of Sitecore — cutting deployment time from weeks to days with reusable block patterns and pre-built templates.

Our approach

Five stages, paired end-to-end.

Predictable delivery. No black-box sprints.

Audit

Comprehensive Sitecore content and architecture audit — cataloguing content types, media assets, personalisation rules, integrations, and user roles. We define migration scope, identify content to archive, and establish success criteria.

Map

Translate Sitecore's content model to WordPress equivalents — templates become custom post types with ACF field groups, rendering variants map to Gutenberg block patterns, and URL structures are preserved with redirect rules for SEO continuity.

Build

Construct the WordPress destination — custom theme development using Full Site Editing or classic themes, ACF configuration, plugin selection and hardening, editorial workflow setup with PublishPress, and staging environment provisioning.

Migrate

Execute automated content migration using WP-CLI and custom import scripts — transferring pages, posts, media, metadata, user accounts, and multilingual content in staged batches with automated validation and rollback capabilities.

Launch

Production cutover with zero downtime — DNS switchover, 301 redirect activation, CDN configuration, performance load testing, and 30-day hypercare with dedicated support. We verify SEO health, Core Web Vitals, and editorial workflows post-launch.

FAQ

Asked first, every time.

Can WordPress handle enterprise-scale content like Sitecore?

Yes. WordPress powers some of the world's largest websites including TechCrunch, BBC America, and The White House. With proper architecture — custom post types, object caching, CDN, and managed hosting like WordPress VIP — WordPress handles millions of pages and high-traffic loads that rival or exceed Sitecore capabilities.

How long does a Sitecore to WordPress migration take?

A typical Sitecore to WordPress migration takes 3 to 5 months depending on content volume and complexity. Simple corporate sites with under 5,000 pages migrate in 8 to 10 weeks, while large-scale platforms with e-commerce, multilingual content, and complex integrations may require 5 to 7 months.

Will our SEO rankings be preserved during the migration?

Absolutely. Our sitecore migration services include full URL auditing, automatic 301 redirect generation, metadata migration, Yoast SEO configuration, and XML sitemap rebuilding. We monitor organic traffic throughout and provide a post-launch SEO health report confirming zero ranking loss.

Can WordPress replicate Sitecore's personalisation capabilities?

WordPress offers personalisation through plugins like If-So Dynamic Content, Logic Hop, and Jetpack's related content engine. For enterprise-grade personalisation matching Sitecore's capabilities, we integrate WordPress with dedicated personalisation platforms like Optimizely, Dynamic Yield, or HubSpot's smart content features.

Is WordPress secure enough to replace Sitecore for enterprise use?

Yes. WordPress core is highly secure and undergoes regular security audits. Enterprise deployments on WordPress VIP or WP Engine include WAF protection, automated security patching, DDoS mitigation, and SOC 2 compliance. We further harden installations with security plugins, two-factor authentication, and role-based access controls.

Can you migrate Sitecore Commerce to WooCommerce?

Yes. We migrate product catalogues, customer data, order histories, and payment gateway configurations from Sitecore Commerce to WooCommerce. Our migration scripts preserve product relationships, variant structures, pricing tiers, and SEO-optimised product URLs throughout the transition.

What about multilingual content — can WordPress match Sitecore's language support?

WordPress handles multilingual content excellently through WPML or Polylang plugins. We migrate all language versions, translation relationships, and locale-specific content from Sitecore to WordPress — preserving hreflang tags, language-specific URLs, and translation memory for continued localisation workflows.

Should we use headless WordPress or traditional WordPress after migrating from Sitecore?

If your Sitecore setup uses headless delivery or you need omnichannel content distribution, headless WordPress with WPGraphQL and a Next.js frontend is ideal. For teams prioritising editorial simplicity and rapid content publishing, traditional WordPress with Gutenberg and Full Site Editing provides the best experience. We evaluate your needs and recommend the right architecture.
