Migration Assessment
We separate marketing content from application features and recommend a full move, a hybrid setup or staying put.
Website Migration · Django to WordPress
Give your marketing team a site they can edit themselves, and keep the Django features your business still needs.
Introduction
EIT Connect's Django to WordPress migration service is for businesses whose website was custom-built in Django and now needs to be easier to run. Django is an excellent framework for applications, but it was never meant to be a marketing CMS: new pages often need a developer, and layouts are locked in code. We move your content, media, URLs and search rankings to WordPress, and if your Django site also runs real application features, we help you decide whether to rebuild them, keep them on Django or retire them.
What We Offer
Everything needed to migrate Django to WordPress, from untangling what you have to supporting the new site.
We separate marketing content from application features and recommend a full move, a hybrid setup or staying put.
Django models, pages, posts, authors, categories and media moved into WordPress posts, pages and custom post types.
Django CMS to WordPress and Wagtail to WordPress, with placeholders and StreamField content turned into blocks.
Your design rebuilt as a lightweight block theme with custom blocks editors can reuse. See WordPress theme development.
Every route in your urls.py mapped to clean WordPress permalinks with tested 301 redirects.
Accounts and roles moved, with a plan for Django's password hashes so users aren't locked out.
WordPress runs the marketing site while your Django app keeps running on a subdomain or path, with shared navigation and optional single sign-on.
Django to WordPress migration outsourcing for agencies, delivered under your brand and process.
Starting Points
Sites built directly in Django with content managed through the Django admin.
Page trees, placeholders and plugins moved into WordPress pages and blocks.
Page models and StreamField content mapped to WordPress templates and blocks.
Django REST Framework APIs feeding a React or Vue front end, moved to WordPress or headless WordPress.
Your Options
We'll recommend one in the assessment, and if Django stays, our [Django development](/technologies/django-development/) team can keep it maintained.
| Option | When it fits | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| Full move to WordPress | The site is mostly pages, blog posts and forms | Everything moves; Django is retired |
| Hybrid | The site also runs real app features, such as dashboards, bookings or calculators | Content moves to WordPress; the app stays on Django under a subdomain or path |
| Stay on Django | Your team edits rarely and the app is the core product | We improve the Django admin or add a headless CMS instead |
How It Maps
| In Django | In WordPress | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Models for articles, pages, news | Posts, pages and custom post types | Fields kept with custom fields |
| Django templates | Block theme and templates | Rebuilt, not converted line by line |
| Django CMS placeholders and plugins | Blocks and patterns | Reusable for editors |
| Wagtail StreamField | Custom blocks | A close one-to-one match in most cases |
| Django admin | WordPress admin and block editor | Roles set to match responsibilities |
| urls.py routes and slugs | Permalinks | Every old route 301-redirected |
| Users and groups | Users and roles | Password hashes handled by a compatibility step or reset |
| Forms and views | Form plugin or custom plugin | Or kept on Django in a hybrid setup |
| Media and static files | Media library | File names and alt text kept |
Tech Stack
Python 
PostgreSQL 
MySQL 
WP-CLI 
Google Search Console New pages, landing pages and blog posts go live from the block editor, not a code release.
WordPress skills are far easier to find than Django skills for a marketing site.
SEO, forms, analytics and marketing integrations are plugins, not custom projects.
How We Work
Seven steps, using the same SEO-safe method behind all our website migration services.
Models, templates, routes, app features, users, traffic and rankings reviewed.
Full move, hybrid or stay, agreed with you, plus a redirect map and content model.
WordPress theme, blocks and features built on staging by our WordPress development team.
Content, media and users moved with scripts, then checked record by record.
For hybrid setups, routing, shared navigation and login between WordPress and Django.
Redirects, forms, pages and devices tested; launch with sitemaps and tracking confirmed.
SEO monitoring after launch, then ongoing care through our WordPress maintenance services.
Why EIT Connect
A Django to WordPress migration agency should understand Python as well as WordPress.
Our Python development and WordPress teams sit together, so app and content decisions are made with full knowledge of both.
If your app should stay on Django, we'll say so and build the hybrid properly.
Each Django URL pattern mapped and tested before launch.
Content moved by script and verified record by record, not copied by hand.
One Django to WordPress migration solution covering content, design, users, app decisions, SEO and support.
Usually because the marketing team needs to edit the site without developers. Django is a strong application framework, but content changes often need code. WordPress gives editors a block editor, a large plugin ecosystem and a much bigger talent pool for ongoing work.
Yes, and it is often the best option. WordPress runs the marketing site, and your Django app keeps running on a subdomain or path, with shared navigation and, if needed, single sign-on. Only the content that marketers edit moves.
A content-focused site usually takes a few weeks to a couple of months, including design rebuild, scripted migration and testing. Hybrid setups and sites with many custom models take longer. You get a timeline with your plan.
Cost depends on the number of content models, pages and media, design work, users, app features to rebuild or keep, and whether a hybrid setup is needed. We share a fixed quote after the assessment.
Not if the migration is done properly. We map every Django route to its new WordPress URL with 301 redirects, keep metadata and content, and monitor rankings after launch. A short fluctuation while Google re-crawls is normal.
Accounts and roles move to WordPress. Django stores passwords as PBKDF2 hashes, which WordPress doesn't read by default, so we either add a compatibility step that converts each password at the user's next login, or arrange a smooth password reset.
Yes. We migrate Django CMS to WordPress by turning page trees and placeholders into pages and blocks, and Wagtail sites by mapping page models and StreamField content to WordPress templates and custom blocks.
Choose a team that understands Python as well as WordPress, separates content from app features before quoting, offers a hybrid option when it makes sense, migrates by script with record-level checks, and protects SEO with a full redirect map.
