WordPress to Next.js*
I move WordPress sites onto Next.js without losing the rankings you already have. If your team wants to keep writing in WordPress, I wire it up as a headless CMS so the editor never changes.

Your WordPress site works. It is also slow, it needs constant plugin updates, and every performance fix means another plugin on top of the last one.
Rebuilding it in Next.js solves the speed problem outright, because visitors get static files from a CDN instead of PHP hitting a database. The risk is not the rebuild. It is the move. Migrations lose traffic when URLs change without redirects, when metadata gets dropped on the way across, or when nobody checks Search Console until a month has passed.
That is the part I handle carefully, and it is most of what you are paying for.
Timelines below are what these usually take, not a promise made before I have seen your site. You get a real number in writing after I look at it.
| Project | Scale | Typical timeline | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brochure site | Up to about 30 pages | 1 to 2 weeks | Marketing pages, a contact form, no blog archive to speak of. Usually the cleanest migration there is. |
| Content site | Roughly 50 to 500 posts | 2 to 5 weeks | A real blog with categories, tags, authors and years of accumulated SEO. This is where the redirect map earns its keep. |
| Content site, headless | Any size, editors stay in WordPress | 3 to 6 weeks | Everything above, plus WordPress wired up as a headless CMS with instant publishing through a webhook. |
| Something more involved | Membership, WooCommerce, custom post types | Scoped case by case | These need a proper look before anyone quotes a number. Sometimes the honest answer is that you should not migrate at all. |
01
A look at what you have
You send me the URL and tell me what is bothering you. I look at the site, the page count and what it depends on, then tell you whether a migration is worth doing. This part is free and sometimes ends with me saying no.
02
A written scope and a number
Deliverables, timeline and price in writing before anything starts. The number does not move unless the scope does, and scope changes get quoted separately.
03
Build on staging
The new site goes up somewhere private where you can click through it. Redirects, metadata and structured data get verified against the live site while the live site is still running.
04
Switch, then watch
DNS moves once everything checks out. Then I watch Search Console for crawl errors and coverage changes through the weeks that actually matter.

Every review is written by the client and shown unedited. You can read them all on my public profile, and the case studies cover what each project does and what was hard about it.
Will I lose my Google rankings?
Not if the routing work is done properly. Rankings drop when URLs change without redirects, when metadata gets dropped, or when the new site blocks crawlers by accident. All three are preventable, and all three are on my checklist before launch. I verify the redirect map with an automated pass and diff every meta tag between the old site and staging before DNS moves.
Can my team keep using the WordPress editor?
Yes. That is the headless setup, and it is what I recommend for teams that publish often. WordPress keeps running privately as your content database with the same admin, the same block editor and the same media library. Next.js reads from it over the API and serves static pages to visitors. Editors see one change: the view link points at the new site.
How much does it cost?
It depends on page count, how much custom functionality exists, and whether you want the headless setup. I quote a fixed price per project after looking at the site, not an hourly rate, so you know the number before anything starts. Send me the URL and you will get a real figure rather than a range.
How long does it take?
A brochure site is usually one to two weeks. A content site with a few hundred posts runs two to five weeks. Adding headless WordPress puts it at three to six. Anything with membership, WooCommerce or heavy custom post types gets scoped case by case, because guessing at those is how projects go wrong.
What happens to my images and media?
They come across. For most sites I move uploads to object storage behind a CDN, which takes the load off the origin server and makes images faster to serve. Existing URLs get redirected so anything already linked elsewhere keeps working.
What if I want to hire someone else later?
You should be able to. You own the repository from day one, the readme gets a new developer running locally in under fifteen minutes, environment variables are documented with a checked in example file, and the deploy is recorded on video. I build for handover because referrals are worth more to me than lock in.
Do you work with clients outside Pakistan?
Most of my work is remote. I am based in Islamabad, Pakistan on PKT, UTC +5 and I keep overlap hours with Europe and North America. Clients in 23 countries so far, and time zone has never been the reason a project slipped.
What if my site should not be migrated?
I will tell you. Sites leaning hard on WooCommerce, page builders like Elementor or Divi, or a large plugin ecosystem are often better off staying where they are and getting faster instead. Talking you out of a migration costs me one job and saves you a bad quarter.
I have written the method down in full. Read these before you hire anyone, including me, because they will tell you whether the person you are talking to knows what they are doing.

Tell me what you are trying to build.
If I am the right person you will get a scope and a number in writing. If I am not, I will say so and point you somewhere better.
