WordPress powers 43% of all websites — but for most small businesses, it is far more platform than they need. Plugins that need updating, security vulnerabilities, hosting bills that keep climbing, and a backend that requires a developer to change anything substantial. ChilledSites is a modern alternative: AI-generated, blazing fast, and fully managed from £29/year.

Here is everything you can migrate, and exactly how to do it.

Why Convert from WordPress?

WordPress is powerful, but power has a cost. The average WordPress site uses 15–30 active plugins, each of which needs monitoring, updating, and occasional troubleshooting. Plugin conflicts cause downtime. Outdated plugins cause security breaches. And none of this is optional — it is just the cost of running WordPress.

ChilledSites eliminates that entire layer of overhead. There are no plugins, no updates, no security patches. We handle the infrastructure so you can focus entirely on your business.

How the Migration Works

  1. 1
    Export your WordPress content. Go to Tools > Export in your WordPress admin and download all content as XML. This gives you a structured copy of everything.
  2. 2
    Generate your new site. Describe your business to ChilledSites. The AI creates a complete, professional multi-page site in under 60 seconds — often better structured than what you had in WordPress.
  3. 3
    Bring across your content. Use the AI editor to refine page copy, paste in any specific text you want to preserve, and upload your images. This usually takes 1–2 hours for a 5-page site.
  4. 4
    Preview and test. Check every page on desktop and mobile. Test your contact form. Verify all links work. Use a broken link checker for peace of mind.
  5. 5
    Set up redirects and point your domain. Configure 301 redirects for any URLs that are changing, then update your DNS to point at ChilledSites. Most domains propagate within a few hours.

What About My Blog Posts?

If you have a blog with traffic-generating posts, preserve them. Either migrate the content manually to new pages, or use the ChilledSites AI editor to rewrite and improve each post for current search intent. Updated posts typically recover and exceed their previous rankings within 60 days.

Will My SEO Rankings Be Affected?

Done correctly, a WordPress to ChilledSites migration either maintains or improves your rankings. ChilledSites generates cleaner HTML, faster page load times, and proper semantic structure — all factors Google values. The key discipline is implementing 301 redirects for any URLs that change, and submitting your updated sitemap to Google Search Console on launch day.
