Plugin updates that break the site, a care plan every month, a page builder that makes every page slow. I move small business WordPress sites, Divi and Elementor included, to plain HTML in your own Cloudflare account, redirect every old address, and give you a dashboard so you can still edit it yourself.
Yes. That's the whole point of the dashboard. Your site becomes plain HTML files, and the dashboard writes those files for you when you change a price, a photo, your hours or a blog post. You get the speed and safety of a static site without giving up the editing.
Not if the move is done right, and that's most of the work. Every old address gets a permanent redirect to its new page, titles and descriptions carry over, structured data is rebuilt, and I watch Search Console for the first 30 days.
The biggest move so far was Accurate Termite: 324 addresses kept, and the site score went from 50 to 89.
Yes. Page builders like Divi and Elementor add a lot of code to every page. I rebuild the design by hand in clean HTML, matched closely or cleaned up, whichever you want. When SS Drywall Repair moved, the site went from 5.4 MB to 2.0 MB.
Take the plugins away. A plain HTML site has no plugins, no theme updates and no database for an update to break. Contact forms go through a form service, and anything the site needs is built into the pages.
Not needing one. Most local shops charge $50 to $199 a month to host and maintain a WordPress site. A plain HTML site on Cloudflare costs $0 to host and has nothing to update. You pay for your domain, about $15 a year. Here's what sites cost around Austin.
Yes, into your own Cloudflare account. I set up the account in your name, move the site, point your domain at it and keep your email working. I moved this site and Best Refrigeration's the same way.
Big WooCommerce stores, member logins and complex booking systems are a bigger job. Booking tools you embed, like Vagaro or Calendly, move over fine. If something won't move cleanly, I'll tell you before you spend anything, and larger sites get a quote after I look.
I look at every page, every address Google knows about, and your Search Console if you have it.
The new site is built by hand, and every old address gets a redirect to its new page.
You see the new site and the dashboard before anything changes. Your old site stays up.
The domain moves, the redirects go live, and I watch Search Console for 30 days.
A big WordPress site rebuilt as plain HTML with all 324 old addresses kept. The owner runs it from the dashboard.
One man, fifteen years of good work and no website. He was paying HomeAdvisor for every lead. Now he's #1 for "drywall repair near me" and quit HomeAdvisor.
Within a day you get a plain answer: what your site needs, which size it is, and what it costs.
