Outgrown WordPress?
Upgrade to Joomla.
WordPress is great for blogs. Joomla is built for business. We migrate your site to a true enterprise CMS with better security, user management, and multilingual support built-in.
Why Migrate from WordPress to Joomla?
Joomla offers advanced user management, better flexibility for complex content structures, and more powerful built-in features. Some organizations prefer Joomla for its enterprise-level capabilities and sophisticated content organization.
Advanced User Management
Joomla has superior user management with granular access control levels. Better for organizations with multiple departments, complex permission structures, and advanced user roles. WordPress user roles are limited—Joomla offers more flexibility.
Complex Content Structures
Joomla handles complex content hierarchies better than WordPress. Better for sites with multiple content types, advanced categorization, and sophisticated content organization. Joomla's content structure is more powerful out of the box.
Built-in Advanced Features
Joomla includes advanced features WordPress requires plugins for: multilingual support, advanced menus, content versioning, and more. Less dependency on plugins means fewer security vulnerabilities and easier maintenance.
Enterprise-Level Capabilities
Joomla is built for enterprise needs. Better for large organizations, government sites, and complex business requirements. More robust architecture for handling high-traffic, complex sites.
Better Security Architecture
Joomla has a more secure core architecture with built-in security features. Less reliance on third-party plugins reduces attack surface. Better for organizations with strict security requirements.
Superior Multilingual Support
Joomla has built-in multilingual capabilities that are more powerful than WordPress plugins. Better for international sites, multi-language content, and global organizations. Native multilingual support without plugins.
Why Enterprise Teams Choose Joomla
WordPress relies on plugins. Joomla relies on engineering.
The WordPress "Plugin Trap"
- ❌ Translations: Requires 3rd party plugins (WPML/Polylang)
- ❌ User Roles: Limited to 5 basic roles by default
- ❌ Custom Fields: Requires plugins (ACF)
- ❌ Security: #1 hacked CMS due to plugin vulnerabilities
The Joomla Native Power
- ✅ Translations: Native in Core (Over 70 languages)
- ✅ User Roles: Infinite ACL (Access Control Lists)
- ✅ Custom Fields: Native in Core
- ✅ Security: Enterprise-grade architecture
Our WordPress to Joomla Migration Process
We handle everything so your migration is seamless. Here's how we convert your WordPress site to Joomla:
1. Pre-Migration Analysis
We audit your WordPress site: content structure, plugins, custom functionality, database structure, and SEO setup. We identify what needs to be migrated and what needs to be rebuilt in Joomla.
2. Content Migration
We migrate all WordPress content: posts, pages, categories, menus, users, media files, and metadata. We preserve URLs where possible and set up proper redirects for SEO preservation.
3. Plugin to Extension Conversion
We map WordPress plugins to Joomla extensions. If no direct equivalent exists, we rebuild functionality using Joomla extensions or custom development. We ensure all features work in Joomla.
4. Theme & Design Rebuild
We recreate your WordPress theme as a Joomla template. We match the design pixel-perfect, ensure responsive design, and optimize for Joomla performance and SEO.
5. SEO Preservation
We preserve SEO rankings: migrate meta data, set up 301 redirects, maintain URL structure where possible, and ensure all SEO elements transfer correctly to Joomla.
6. Testing & Launch
We test everything on a staging site: functionality, design, forms, integrations, and performance. You approve before we launch. Zero downtime migration to your live Joomla site.
