Migration to Kadence

We migrate your WordPress website to the Kadence theme (or native Gutenberg blocks) while preserving all your content, SEO, and design. Average improvement of 40-60% in Core Web Vitals and elimination of lock-in from heavy page builders.

Problems that it solves

  • Your site uses Elementor/Divi and loads slowly because of the page builder’s weight
  • You’re locked into the page builder: any theme change requires rebuilding everything from scratch
  • Page builder updates break your design every couple of months
  • You’re paying for an annual Elementor Pro license and not getting your money’s worth
  • Your team can’t edit content without your help because everything depends on the page builder
  • You want to adopt the WordPress standard (Gutenberg) but don’t know how to migrate

For whom it is for (Fit)

  • Site built on Elementor/Divi with more than 50 published pages
  • Business looking to improve Core Web Vitals without losing their design
  • Company that wants editorial independence for its team
  • Site with dependencies on premium plugins (header builder, etc.) that you want to remove
  • Scaling business that needs a solid technical foundation

Who it’s not For (No-Fit)

  • Sites with fewer than 20 pages
  • Highly customized design with unique complex animations
  • Site that works perfectly fine and you just want to “modernize”
  • Anyone who only wants to save the cost of their Elementor Pro license
  • Multisite networks with more than 5 subsites
