Joomla Development questions

Every Joomla project is priced after we review the site, so there are no surprises. Help on your current site, such as extension updates, fixes and SEO, is quoted separately from a move. If you move to WordPress, you pay one flat fee for the agreed scope, based on how many articles, pages, media and users we bring across, and it can be split into 2 to 4 payments. If we host the new site, the first three months of hosting and maintenance are free. Get a free proposal.

That depends on your Joomla version, your extensions and what the site needs to do next. If the site is healthy, we can keep it updated and improve its SEO; if it is holding you back, a move to WordPress gives your team an easier site to update and a larger pool of developers. You get a plain recommendation after our review.

Not if the move is planned properly. WordPress structures its URLs differently from Joomla, so we map every old Joomla address to its new page with a redirect before launch. Your articles, pages, media and users come across, the titles and content that already rank are kept, and after launch we watch rankings and crawl errors.

Yes. After a security review of your Joomla version, extensions and hosting, we apply the updates that are safe to make and keep the site maintained until the new one launches. If the version you run is no longer supported, we make the move the priority and plan it around your schedule.
