Migrate from WordPress to WeWeb (2025 Guide)
Modern web app capabilities, headless architecture, faster performance — handled end-to-end by App Studio.
Why migrate from WordPress to WeWeb?
Teams on WordPress migrate to WeWeb for modern web app capabilities, headless architecture, faster performance — and App Studio has run this exact migration multiple times. Here is why it is worth the switch:
- ✓Modern web app capabilities — the primary driver most teams cite when leaving WordPress.
- ✓Headless architecture — something WordPress simply cannot provide at scale.
- ✓Faster performance — all achievable within the WeWeb ecosystem from day one.
What changes in the WordPress → WeWeb migration
Data layer
Your existing WordPress data is exported, cleaned, and imported into WeWeb. We validate every record and run reconciliation checks before go-live.
UI & frontend
Screens are rebuilt in WeWeb from your existing designs or Figma files. We match pixel-perfect fidelity while adopting WeWeb's component model.
Integrations
Third-party connections (APIs, webhooks, auth providers, payment gateways) are re-wired and tested in the WeWeb environment with the same or better coverage.
Testing & QA
Every user journey is regression-tested against the original WordPress behaviour. We run parallel environments until you are confident to cut over.
How we migrate from WordPress to WeWeb
Our 4-phase process eliminates risk, keeps your live WordPress app running throughout, and delivers a fully tested WeWeb build before you cut over.
Audit
We map every feature, data model, integration, and custom logic in your WordPress app. Nothing gets missed before we start building.
Map
We produce a feature-by-feature migration plan — what maps directly to WeWeb, what needs redesign, and what can be simplified or removed.
Rebuild
We build the WeWeb version in weekly sprints alongside your live WordPress app. You demo and approve each module before we move on.
Launch
We run a final data sync, flip DNS or routing, and monitor for 48 hours post-launch. Full documentation and handover included.

WordPress to WeWeb — frequently asked questions
How long does the WordPress to WeWeb migration take?
Most migrations take 2–4 weeks from kickoff to go-live, depending on app complexity. We provide a fixed timeline after the audit phase.
Will I lose any data during the migration?
No. We export a full backup of your WordPress data before touching anything, run a parallel import into WeWeb, and reconcile every record. Your original app stays live until you are 100% ready to switch.
Can I keep the same design and brand look?
Yes. We rebuild your UI in WeWeb to match your existing design, or use this opportunity to refresh it — your choice. We work from your existing screens or Figma files.
What does the migration cost?
Cost depends on app complexity. Low effort migrations typically start from €4,000. We provide a fixed-price quote after the free scoping call.
