01

The situation

You built your website yourself in a website builder years ago – Wix, Jimdo, Squarespace or your host’s package. Now you’re hitting limits: the design looks like a template, features can’t be built the way you need them, and you wonder how to take your content with you at all.

The typical worry before switching: what happens to my Google rankings and the links pointing to my site? And who looks after the website afterwards – will I have to call someone for every change?

02

Our solution

We rebuild your website individually – in WordPress with a custom theme and the block editor, without a bought template and without page builders such as Elementor or Divi. We handle moves from website builders, Webflow or TYPO3 to WordPress: content is revised rather than just copied, and every old URL with rankings or backlinks gets a 301 redirect to the matching new page.

The website belongs to you – including all files and logins; the hosting contract is in your name, with German partners such as IONOS, Strato, All-Inkl or Hetzner. At handover we train you in the CMS so you can update copy and images yourself.

Questions from search

Frequently asked questions

  • Can I build a professional company website with a free CMS?

    Yes – WordPress itself is open source. What makes a site professional is the concept, individual design, clean technology and care; that’s what we deliver with a custom theme instead of a bought template.

  • How do I move my website off a website builder?

    First an inventory, then a new structure in which every old URL gets a target, then the rebuild and content migration. At launch we test the redirects, submit the sitemap to Search Console and monitor the site for four weeks.

  • Will I lose my Google rankings when I move?

    Not permanently with a clean move and a 301 redirect per old URL; short-term fluctuations are normal. Nobody can honestly guarantee rankings – which is why we monitor errors, rankings and clicks of your top pages after launch.

  • Agency, freelancer or stay with the builder?

    For a first, simple presence a website builder can be enough. If you need individual design, your own features and full control of website and logins, the move pays off – our comparison article shows the differences.

  • Do I own the website after the move?

    Yes. The website belongs to you – including all files and logins, and the hosting contract is in your name.
