Migrate from WordPress ​

WordPress works until it doesn't: plugin updates break, security patches pile up, and a "simple" text change becomes a support ticket. DCS is a fully managed alternative. We handle the migration, and afterward there are no plugins to update, no hosting to babysit, and no developer needed for everyday edits.

What moving to DCS gets you ​

  • A fully managed site. You never worry about plugin updates, security patches, or hosting — the platform handles them.
  • Self-service editing. Change text, images, and SEO yourself from the portal's visual editor. See Edit Text Without a Developer.
  • Faster, more secure pages. DCS sites are statically built and served, so there is no per-request database call and a much smaller attack surface than a plugin-heavy WordPress install.
  • Built-in business features. Depending on your plan, add online booking, payments, and check-in — capabilities that need paid plugins on WordPress. See How Online Booking Works and Accept Payments with Stripe.

How the migration works ​

The migration is a managed service — you do not run a plugin or a script yourself:

  1. We move your content. Your existing pages and content come across to a DCS site.
  2. Your domain comes with you. Your existing domain is preserved, so visitors reach you at the same address.
  3. Your SEO is protected. Content, URLs, and metadata are handled so your existing search rankings are preserved through the move.
  4. You take over in the portal. Once you are live, you manage the site yourself from the DCS portal.

Start a migration ​

DCS sites are onboarded through the platform rather than self-serve WordPress plugins. To start a migration, get in touch through the DCS website and we will scope the move with you.
