Bots and AIWe migrate your website from Bitrix to WordPress along with its content, data and features. We keep page URLs where possible and set up redirects from the ones that change to help retain visitors from search engines. We have been working with both platforms since 2015. If you need it, we provide technical support for the website after launch.
When migration makes sense
01
Website migration from Bitrix to WordPress is moving an existing website from the paid Bitrix platform to the free WordPress CMS. Content and data are transferred, and page URLs are either kept or redirected. The features of the old website are rebuilt with WordPress tools.
02
You choose the migration format: a platform change only with the same design and structure, a partial rework of the website or a complete overhaul with a new design and structure. The cost and timeline depend on the format. We also migrated our own website from Bitrix to WordPress. Learn more: “RIVERIT case study”.
03
The website does not use most of the Bitrix features, but the license is paid every year. On free WordPress, such a website runs without these costs.
Without a license renewal, Bitrix does not receive updates, including security fixes. Discovered vulnerabilities remain open, and the risk of hacking grows. WordPress and its updates are free.
If the website's needs can be met with WordPress tools, custom development and support for such a website usually cost less than on Bitrix.
If editing texts and pages on Bitrix is difficult, on WordPress we set up an admin panel for all website content.
There are more developers on the market who know WordPress than Bitrix specialists. This makes it easier to find a contractor for support and custom development.
04
We recommend staying on Bitrix if your website needs:
Bitrix has these capabilities built into the platform, while on WordPress they require plugins, custom development or server optimization. If needed, we provide technical support for your Bitrix website.
Discuss a task05
We migrate almost all available data from the old website. Anything that cannot be exported with the standard Bitrix export we migrate with custom scripts. On WordPress, you can keep or rebuild:
06
Before the migration, we list all URLs of the old website and mark the pages that receive visitors from search. We keep page URLs and set up permanent redirects from the ones that change to the new ones.
In addition, we:
After the domain is switched, we check how search engines index the new pages and fix any errors we find.
Discuss a task07
We list the pages, data, features and integrations of the old website. We determine which data can be exported with the standard Bitrix export and which has to be migrated with custom scripts. We tell you up front what may complicate the migration of your particular website: features without a ready-made WordPress solution and URLs that cannot be kept.
Together with you, we decide which sections and features to keep, remove or add and choose whether to keep the existing design or create a new one. We build a map of old and new URLs for redirects and set the exact cost of the work in the plan.
We adapt the existing design or develop a new one, with responsive versions for all required screen widths. We build the front-end layout, program the required features, connect integrations and set up the admin panel.
We migrate the content and, for a store, products, customers and order history. Then we compare the number of pages, products, customers and orders on the old and new websites.
On the staging domain, we check all features, loading speed, redirects and display on smartphones, tablets and desktops. Once you approve, we migrate orders, requests and data added to the old website during the work and connect analytics systems. Then, during the hours with the fewest visitors, we switch the domain to the new website and enable redirects. We hand over all access credentials to you and, on request, train your employees to use the WordPress admin panel. 30-day warranty: within 30 days after launch, we fix any deviations from the agreed migration plan free of charge. Custom development is estimated separately.
08
The cost of a migration depends on the scope of work, that is, the time we spend on it. The price depends most on:
We give a preliminary estimate after the brief and an audit of the old website. The exact cost is set in the migration plan.
Discuss a taskWe migrated these websites from Bitrix to WordPress.
10
Nobody can guarantee rankings: after a migration, search engines crawl the website again. After launch, we monitor indexing and fix errors.
We migrate orders and customers together with the products. During the audit, we check whether customers' existing passwords can be kept. If not, customers set a new password the first time they log in.
Bitrix license costs stop. You continue to pay for hosting and the domain and, if needed, for paid plugins and technical support.
You. We launch the new website on your server or ours and hand over all access credentials. When development is complete, you also receive a backup of the website.
For an estimate, we need the website URL and your answers to the brief. For an audit, we need access to the Bitrix admin panel and the hosting.
The timeline depends on the scope of tasks and on how quickly you approve the stages and prepare texts and images. We tell you how long the work on our side will take together with the cost estimate.
