Website migration to Code23

AI-native websites No CMS, no plugins, no hacks, no waiting. Outrun everyone.

Move fast on an AI-native site with nothing to patch. Our website migration takes you off WordPress, Webflow or Framer, and changes go live in days, not weeks.

We move sites from WordPress, Webflow, Framer, Wix and Squarespace.

Why teams move

The old way is holding you back

"People never wanted a CMS. They want a website," as Yoast founder Joost de Valk put it. The platforms that built the last decade of the web are now what slows ambitious businesses down.

  • The old way

    Every change waits on someone else

    A new landing page or a tweak to a blog post needs whoever knows the theme, the page builder or the platform's quirks. Campaigns wait while the site catches up.

    With Code23

    New pages and changes live in days, not weeks.

  • The old way

    The plugin stack is a standing risk

    Every plugin is someone else's code running on your site, and each one needs updates, licences and patching. Miss one and your site is exposed.

    With Code23

    No plugins & no database to patch.

  • The old way

    The design is stuck in a template

    Themes and page builders decide what your pages can look like. Your pages end up shaped by the template you started from, and a real redesign means starting again.

    With Code23

    A world-class design built around your brand.

The shift

The web has moved on

The businesses setting the pace aren't patching plugins or paying for seats on someone else's platform. They're on a modern stack, and the biggest names on the web are backing it.

What you get

What changes the day you go live

01

Nothing left to patch

No plugins, no database and no admin login on the live site for anyone to attack. Pages are built before anyone visits, so there's far less to keep updated and far less that can break.

  • Plugins None
  • Database None
  • Live-site admin login None
  • Plugin & theme updates None

02

Change it in days, not weeks

New pages, offers and campaigns go live while the idea is still fresh. We build a new Google Ads landing page in a couple of hours.

03

No CMS. Just ask.

Your team updates pages and builds new ones by asking ChatGPT or Claude, and every page still looks right because it uses your own design system. We train you and leave a written guide.

04

Unforgettable to use

World-class UX, UI and motion, designed around your brand rather than squeezed into a template. The kind of site customers remember and rivals study.

After launch

A website that improves itself

Most migrations end at launch. Yours starts there. Your site learns from every visitor and keeps moving, so you keep pulling ahead of competitors still waiting on their next redesign.

  1. Visitors

    Visitors use the site

    Every visit, scroll and click is a signal.

  2. PostHog

    PostHog shows what they do

    See where people convert and where they stall.

  3. Agents

    Agents propose the change

    A new page, a sharper section, a shorter form.

  4. Your team

    Your team approves

    Nothing goes live until you say yes.

  5. Live

    It's live in days

    Then the loop starts again, and the site keeps improving.

Who this is for

Built for businesses that move

Businesses whose website wins enquiries, publishes content and needs to change as fast as their market. Shops, member areas and custom systems can often keep their platform while the marketing site moves.

Best for

  • Business sites on WordPress, Webflow, Framer, Wix or Squarespace
  • Teams who want new pages & campaigns live in days
  • Teams tired of plugin updates & security patches
  • Sites that feel slow, fragile or hard to change

Not the right fit

  • A shop or member area that needs a full rebuild (we'll scope that separately)
  • Anyone who wants to stay on their current platform

What comes with you

Everything that matters comes with you

A new platform shouldn't cost you the rankings, leads and data you've already earned. We check every item on this list before your domain moves.

  • Rankings and URLs

    Every page you rank for is mapped before we build, and keeps its address or gets a proper redirect.

  • Redirects

    301s for every URL that changes, tested against your live site before switch-over.

  • Schema and metadata

    Titles, descriptions, canonicals and structured data carried across and checked.

  • Forms

    Every enquiry form rebuilt, tested end to end and still landing where your team expects.

  • Analytics and tracking pixels

    Your analytics, ad conversion tags and tracking pixels firing from the first visit.

  • Content and media

    Pages, posts, images, video and downloads moved across, not left behind.

  • Integrations

    CRM, booking, email and payment tools reconnected and tested before switch-over.

how it works

The move

Four steps from the site you have to the site that leads your market.

Step 1

Talk & scope

We talk through your site, then go through every page, ranking, form and integration you have now and agree what the new site needs to do better.

We've recently completed Phase 1 of a bespoke business valuation tool with James at Code23, and I've been extremely impressed. He has taken the time to understand both the commercial and technical requirements, communicated clearly throughout, and delivered a well-thought-out system with a high level of flexibility. The admin dashboard, in particular, gives us full control over the scoring and valuation logic, which was a key requirement. I'm looking forward to working with James on Phase 2 and would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone looking for bespoke software development – Jason Atkins, Director, Lansley Commercial

We couldn’t be happier with the service from Code23. They were a pleasure to work with—friendly, professional, and really took the time to understand our needs. They met our brief perfectly, delivering a website that looks great and performs exactly as we envisioned, all at excellent value for money. What sets Code23 apart is their aftercare. Knowing they are on hand to monitor and maintain our website means we never have to worry about its performance. Their ongoing support gives us complete peace of mind, and we’d highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled web development team

It has truly been a fantastic experience working with the Code23 team. Every part of the process from the scoping and onboarding down to the design and implementation of our website was handled excellently. The quality of service delivered by the team is globally top standard and I couldn't be more satisfied with the final outcome.

I have worked with Code23 and their team for over 5 years across 3 different projects ranging from mobile app development to custom WordPress websites. Together the team bring a level of expertise and professionalism I have not seen anywhere else... The results achieved have really helped to grow our business. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a custom project to be completed on time and in budget.

Website migration questions

Will we lose our Google rankings?

We map every URL you rank for before we build. Each page keeps its address or gets a 301 redirect, and titles, descriptions, canonicals and schema come across with it. After launch we watch Search Console and your rankings, and act fast on any page that slips.

Do we need a CMS to edit the site?

Most sites don't. We build your own design system, then your team updates pages and builds new ones by asking ChatGPT or Claude, and every page still looks right. If your team publishes a lot or prefers filling in forms, we add Sanity, the CMS we use for content-heavy sites.

Are we locked in to Code23?

No. Any engineer or AI coding tool can work on the site, and if you ever want to move it elsewhere we hand it over. You stay with us because the work is good, not because you can't leave.

Will the site go down when we switch?

No planned downtime. The new site is built and tested on a private preview while your current site stays live. On launch day we point your domain at the new site, and visitors move across as that change spreads.

Which platforms can you move us from?

WordPress, Webflow, Framer, Wix, Squarespace and most others. Where a platform won't export everything, we rebuild from your live site and move your content across for you.

Will the new site be faster?

If you're moving from WordPress, usually: pages are built before anyone visits, with no database or plugin stack behind them. How much faster depends on how your current site is set up. ansell.ai scores 95 to 97 for mobile Lighthouse on tested pages. Webflow and Framer sites are usually quick already, so leaving them is about changing it faster and designing without a page builder's limits.

Why Astro?

Astro turns your pages into fast, plain files before anyone visits. Cloudflare acquired the Astro team in January 2026 and Astro stays open source, and developers ranked it top for satisfaction among meta-frameworks in the State of JS 2025 survey. Code23's own site moved from WordPress to Astro in 2026.

Can you move a WooCommerce shop or member area?

Often the marketing pages move while the shop or member area stays on its own platform. When we talk, we'll tell you which parts suit a straight move and which need more planning.

How long does a migration take?

It depends on how many page layouts and integrations the site has. ansell.ai went from design to live in 2 days; larger sites take longer. Your quote includes the timeline, so you know before you agree.

How much does a migration cost?

Every migration is a fixed price agreed before we start, and we set the exact figure after a session about your site. After launch there are no plugin licences or page-builder subscriptions to stack up.
