WordPress to Next.js Migration
A WordPress site
replaced by a web application.
When to migrate from WordPress to Next.js
We rebuild the site in code, then carry over content, addresses and search rankings. WordPress remains solid for a well-maintained editorial site. Next.js fits when the site becomes an application.
Your plugins pile up and every update raises fear of a breakdown
Your site must offer a customer area with accounts and access rights
Business rules are grafted onto WordPress with custom plugins
Plugin vulnerabilities need monitoring that no one does
Your site stays slow despite caching and optimization plugins

The elements carried over from your WordPress site
Pages and templates
Each WordPress theme template becomes a Next.js page built from components. Text is carried over as is, unless you ask otherwise.
Posts and content in Sanity
Posts, categories and authors are exported from WordPress, then imported into Sanity. Each field is checked after the import.
Addresses and 301 redirects
Addresses that receive traffic are listed in Search Console. Each one keeps its path or receives a 301 redirect.
SEO tags and structured data
The tags from your SEO plugin are carried over page by page. We add Schema.org data, the sitemap and the llms.txt file.
Media and alt text
The WordPress media library is brought over, then images are optimized. Their alt text follows them.
Forms and integrations
Forms become server routes connected to your CRM. Tracking scripts are reinstalled, then tested.
Migrate to Next.js or stay on WordPress
WordPress remains the right choice for a well-maintained editorial site.
Next.js fits when the site must behave like an application.
WordPress
Custom Next.js
Guided migration
Migrate to Next.js if
Your site must open a logged-in area to your customers or partners
Your business logic goes beyond what a WordPress plugin can do
You want to get out of plugin and theme debt
Your site's security relies on manual updates
You want lighter pages and faster display
Your technical team wants to test and version its code
Stay on WordPress if
Your WooCommerce store already works well
Your site is editorial and its updates go smoothly
Your team masters WordPress and evolves it alone
A business plugin has no simple equivalent in code
Your budget does not cover rebuilding an application
The differences
when you leave WordPress
No more plugins to update
Functions move to code or dedicated services. Vulnerabilities specific to plugins disappear, and the code gets its own monitoring.
A different editing space
Your team publishes in a Sanity Studio, not in the WordPress editor. We train it before launch.
Hosting and security
The site is deployed on Vercel, with no PHP server to monitor. Access rights are set in the database itself.
Plugins to replace
We list every plugin during the audit. Each one is replaced by code or a third-party service, or dropped with your agreement.
A possible application
Accounts, access rights and business data are developed in Next.js. The Noqode client portal is an example.
Online stores
We do not migrate WooCommerce stores. E-commerce is outside the scope of our projects.
Our method for moving from WordPress to Next.js
Your WordPress site stays online until launch day.
Audit the WordPress site
We list the installed plugins and the addresses that receive traffic. The audit sets what is carried over and what is dropped.
Design the application
The design is approved in Figma, then built in Next.js with Sanity for content. The site is built on a test address.
Import content and map URLs
Posts are exported from WordPress and imported into Sanity, then checked. Each old address receives its 301 redirect.
Launch and monitor
The domain points to the new site once the redirects are tested. We then track indexing in Search Console.

“Noqode handled the complete redesign of my firm's website.
Impeccable result, an efficient team that was available from start to finish. I recommend them without reservation.”
“A big thank you to Amaury and the Noqode team!
After coaching more than 140 freelancers on how to win clients, I needed a website that truly reflected my method, my expertise and my world.
The result is excellent: a site that converts well and is very easy to manage.
On top of that, the team is extremely responsive and attentive.
Honestly, when you spend your days advising freelancers, it is doubly rewarding to work with professionals who understand your needs right away!
In short, I highly recommend them, and believe me, with my background as a developer, I am not an easy client to please 😉”
“A really beautiful design in record time. Amaury and his team listen carefully, letting clients express their feelings and their vision of the business they want to present.
A great ability to synthesize, while respecting the client's wishes and budget. Well done to the whole team, whom I recommend without the slightest reservation.”
Your questions, our answers
Everything you need to know before starting a project with us.
Why migrate from WordPress to Next.js?
To get out of plugin debt and add what WordPress handles poorly, such as accounts and business logic. Next.js is developed in code, with tests and a versioned repository. WordPress remains suitable for a well-kept editorial site.
What happens after launch?
We track indexing and errors in Search Console for several weeks. Those we find are fixed. Our Growth Team can then evolve the site every month, with no commitment.
How much does a WordPress to Next.js migration cost?
Every project is quoted after a free 30-minute first conversation. The price depends on the plugins to replace, the application features and the volume of content. Hosting comes on top of the project. Our prices are exclusive of tax.
How long does a WordPress to Next.js migration take?
A complete site usually takes 4 to 8 weeks. A platform with accounts and business logic takes 8 to 12 weeks. We set the timeline after the audit, once the scope is known.
Is it better to keep WordPress as a headless CMS with Next.js?
It is possible. WordPress keeps the content and Next.js displays the site. You do keep the plugins, the updates and the WordPress editor. We compare this option with Sanity during the audit.
Can you migrate from WordPress to Next.js without losing SEO?
Yes, if every address that receives traffic is listed and redirected. For Framboise Consulting, migrated from WordPress to Webflow, we identified 69 addresses and put 65 301 redirects in place across 80 pages. We apply the same method to Next.js.
Is Next.js more secure than WordPress?
A Next.js site has no third-party plugins left to update, a common source of vulnerabilities on WordPress. The code still has to be maintained and tested. On the Noqode client portal, two security audits found no critical vulnerability.
Is a Next.js site faster than a WordPress site?
Often, because pages are generated in advance and plugin code disappears. For a simple content site, Astro is a better fit. On noqode.fr, moved to Astro, the median page weight dropped by 70%.
Which content do you carry over from WordPress?
We carry over pages and posts, with categories, authors and media. The tags from your SEO plugin follow page by page. Forms are rebuilt in code.
Have you already built a Next.js application?
Yes. The Noqode client portal runs on Next.js, with three user roles and security set in the database. It has been live since October 10, 2026. A case study details its design.
