Kentico to WordPress Migration Services
Web Experts helps organizations move from Kentico to WordPress without losing content, rankings, or functionality. We have written extensively about the tradeoffs of staying on Kentico, and we handle the full migration path: content export, template rebuilds, URL mapping, SEO preservation, and post-launch support.
Most teams consider this move for the same reasons: rising Kentico licensing and development costs, a shrinking pool of Kentico developers, and marketing teams that want to update content without filing a ticket. WordPress removes those constraints while keeping enterprise capabilities like role-based workflows, staging environments, and structured content.
What a Kentico to WordPress Migration Includes
- Content inventory and export: Pages, media, documents, forms, and metadata are cataloged and exported from Kentico in a structured format.
- Information architecture mapping: Kentico page types and widgets are mapped to WordPress templates, blocks, and custom post types.
- URL and redirect strategy: Every legacy URL is mapped to its new destination with 301 redirects so existing rankings and backlinks carry over.
- SEO preservation: Titles, meta descriptions, structured data, and internal links are migrated and validated against pre-migration baselines.
- Integration rebuilds: CRM connections, forms, analytics, and marketing automation are reconnected and tested.
- Training and handoff: Your team learns the new editing workflow so day-to-day updates no longer require a developer.
How long does a Kentico to WordPress migration take?
Most migrations run four to ten weeks depending on page count, custom functionality, and integration complexity. A content-heavy marketing site with standard forms lands on the shorter end. Sites with custom Kentico modules, gated content, or multilingual structures take longer because each capability is rebuilt and verified rather than copied.
Will we lose SEO rankings when we leave Kentico?
Not if the migration is planned around SEO from day one. We snapshot your rankings, crawl every URL before launch, ship a complete 301 redirect map, and re-verify indexing in Google Search Console after cutover. Rankings typically stabilize within a few weeks because Google follows the redirects to equivalent content.
What does it cost to migrate from Kentico to WordPress?
Cost depends on page volume, template count, and integrations, so we scope each project individually after a short discovery review. As a planning signal, the total is usually far less than one to two years of continued Kentico licensing and specialized development costs, which is why the migration often pays for itself quickly.
