Introduction

Sitecore to WordPress Migration at EIT Connect

EIT Connect delivers Sitecore to WordPress migration for organisations that want enterprise-grade websites without enterprise-grade licence fees and specialist dependency. Teams usually decide to migrate Sitecore to WordPress when the renewal comes round, or when every small change still needs a certified developer. We treat the move as an engineering project, not a copy-paste: we map your Sitecore templates, components, workflows and language versions to their WordPress equivalents, move content with scripts rather than by hand, and cut over in planned phases with redirects and monitoring in place.

Concept Mapping

How Sitecore Concepts Map to WordPress

These are the five areas where Sitecore and WordPress differ most, and how we handle each.

Items & Templates

Sitecore items built on templates become WordPress posts or custom post types with ACF fields, keeping the same content structure.

Renderings & Layouts

Components placed in placeholders become Gutenberg blocks and page templates that editors assemble visually.

Workflows & Roles

Draft, review and approval steps are recreated with WordPress roles and editorial workflow plugins.

Personalisation & Analytics

Sitecore's native personalisation and xDB don't carry across. We replace them with GA4, your CDP or marketing automation, and personalisation plugins where you need them, and we agree this trade-off with you upfront.

Language Versions & Multisite

Sitecore language versions map to WPML or Polylang translations, and multiple sites map to WordPress Multisite or separate installs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is Sitecore to WordPress migration?

Sitecore to WordPress migration is moving a website from the Sitecore platform to WordPress. It involves mapping Sitecore templates and components to WordPress post types and blocks, migrating content, media and language versions, reconnecting integrations, and redirecting URLs so search rankings carry over.

Why do companies migrate from Sitecore to WordPress?

Most companies migrate to reduce licence and specialist development costs, give marketing teams easier editing, and access WordPress's large talent pool and plugin ecosystem, while keeping enterprise performance and security through managed hosting.

Sitecore vs WordPress: is WordPress suitable for enterprise websites?

Yes, for most enterprise websites. With the right architecture, managed hosting, caching and security, WordPress powers large, multilingual and high-traffic sites. Sitecore's main advantage is built-in personalisation; on WordPress that's handled with plugins, a CDP or marketing automation.

Will we lose SEO rankings when we migrate Sitecore to WordPress?

Not if the migration is planned properly. We map every old URL, set up 301 redirects, carry over metadata and structured data, update internal links and monitor Search Console after launch. Short-term fluctuation is possible; lasting drops are usually caused by missed redirects.

What happens to Sitecore personalisation and xDB data?

Sitecore's native personalisation engine and xDB don't transfer to WordPress. We agree replacements upfront, such as GA4 for analytics and your CDP, marketing automation or personalisation plugins for targeted content, and export any data you need to keep.

Can you migrate multilingual and multiple Sitecore sites?

Yes. Language versions are migrated to WPML or Polylang, and multiple Sitecore sites can be consolidated into WordPress Multisite or kept as separate WordPress installs, depending on how your teams work.

How long does a Sitecore to WordPress migration take?

Smaller Sitecore sites can move in 8 to 12 weeks. Most enterprise Sitecore implementations with many templates, languages and integrations take 3 to 6 months, delivered in phases.

How do I choose the best Sitecore to WordPress migration company?

Look for experience with both platforms, scripted content migration, a documented content-model and URL mapping, honesty about trade-offs like personalisation, enterprise hosting experience and post-launch support. EIT Connect offers each of these, with cost-efficient delivery from India.
