Moving to WordPress.com? Bring your design with you

You built your website yourself. You picked the photos, wrote every page, and tweaked the colors until it felt like you.

Then everything started costing more. Your supplies, your rent, and the tools you run your business on. Search keeps changing, and fewer people find their way to your site.

Then one day it went down, right when a customer was looking, and you wished a real person could just help. You can’t control all of that. You can control what you pay for your website, and whether you own it.

So you thought about moving. And you found out moving meant starting over: rebuilding every page, losing your design, and saying goodbye to something you’d poured yourself into.

Not anymore.

Moving to WordPress.com? Your design comes with you

Moving to WordPress.com now brings your design with you, too. Paste your site’s address, and we bring your pages, images, and design over as a WordPress site you own.

Have a website on Squarespace, Wix, Lovable, Base44, or another builder? Your site’s address is all you need to get started. No files to download, nothing to rebuild.

What comes with you

Our site mover is built for small websites made mostly of pages with text and images, like a café, a dog groomer, or a photographer’s portfolio.

Here’s what comes over:

• Your pages, blog posts, text, and images.
• Your design: layout, colors, fonts, header, logo, and menu, as close to the original as we can get them.
• The links between your pages, so your site still flows the way you built it.

How to transfer your site to WordPress

From your existing website to a new home on WordPress.com, here’s how the move works:

1. Paste your site’s address: That’s all we need to get started; no files to download.
2. Pick a plan that fits: Plans start at $4 a month, billed yearly ($48 for the year), and every plan includes plugins, custom themes, a free domain name for your first year, and hosting that stays up when traffic spikes.
3. We handle the move for you: Your pages, images, and design come over as a WordPress site. Close the tab, and we’ll email you when it’s ready.
4. Check it and make it live: Open your new site next to your old one, then connect your domain name. A checklist walks you through it.

Once your new site is ready, it’s worth checking the details that help visitors find you after the move.

Keep your traffic and your content

Moving your website shouldn’t mean losing the people who already know where to find you.

Your old site stays live while you review the new one, and you decide when to switch. You can keep the same domain name, and if any page addresses change, redirects help visitors and search engines reach the right place.

Once you’ve moved, the next challenge is reaching new customers. WordPress.com takes care of the SEO groundwork for you. It automatically creates a sitemap to help search engines discover your pages.

On Premium plans and above, built-in Jetpack SEO tools let you customize SEO titles and descriptions and preview your pages in search results. No extra plugin needed.

And as more people turn to AI to find businesses, clearly explaining what you offer helps those tools understand your site, too.

Hosting that works as hard as you do

Plans start at $4 a month, billed yearly. Most paid builder plans currently start around $16 a month.

Every paid plan includes:

• Unlimited traffic: Go viral and your price stays the same.
• Your site stays online: Since 2005, WordPress.com sites have been up and running more than 99.99% of the time.
• Fast pages: Your site loads quickly wherever your visitors are, globally.
• Security, handled: A free SSL certificate, built-in protections that help keep your site safe, and updates done for you.
• 60,000+ plugins: Add bookings, newsletters, SEO tools, and more.
• A free domain name: Free for your first year, or keep the one you have.
• Real people to help: Our Happiness Engineers are here on every plan, and Business plans get 24/7 priority support.
