Strapi is a headless CMS requiring frontend development expertise, API management, complex architectural decisions, higher learning curves, and ongoing developer involvement. WordPress is a traditional CMS with intuitive content management, built-in frontend, easy editing interface, no coding required for most tasks, and straightforward publishing workflows. Publishers migrate to WordPress when they want simplified content management, reduced developer dependency, faster publishing, and easier team collaboration without technical complexity.

A basic Strapi site (under 100 entries) costs $8,000–$15,000. A medium site (100–500 entries) costs $15,000–$35,000. A large site (500+ entries with complex content models) ranges from $35,000–$100,000+. EbizON provides detailed project assessment and fixed-price quotes after auditing your Strapi content structure.

A basic site takes 2–4 weeks. A medium site takes 4–8 weeks. A large site takes 8–16 weeks. EbizON works on staging servers so your live Strapi site stays fully operational throughout migration.

Not if done correctly. EbizON crawls all Strapi URLs, preserves every page’s URL structure, implements 301 redirects where URLs change, retains all meta titles/descriptions/canonical tags, maintains internal link structure, and monitors Google Search Console for 2 months post-launch. Most clients maintain or improve rankings due to WordPress’s superior SEO features.

All entries, posts, pages, media assets, custom fields, taxonomies, metadata, publishing status, authors, revisions, and all custom content model data are transferred to WordPress. A content audit ensures 100% accuracy and identifies how to structure Strapi’s complex models within WordPress’s simpler taxonomy.

EbizON clients report 96% improved speed and 5x better performance on WordPress compared to Strapi frontends. Strapi requires separate frontend deployments and API calls. WordPress’s integrated architecture eliminates those layers, enabling dramatically faster page loads, improving SEO, reducing bounce rates, and increasing conversion rates by 20–25%.

Yes. You keep your domain. EbizON configures your domain to point to WordPress servers during launch with comprehensive DNS and SSL certificate configuration. Your domain and all URLs remain the same enabling 100% SEO retention and uninterrupted operations.

Strapi integrations don’t transfer to WordPress. EbizON audits your Strapi APIs, webhooks, and third-party integrations, then rebuilds them with WordPress plugins or custom solutions. WordPress’s 60,000+ plugins and robust webhook system provide equivalent functionality often simpler to manage than Strapi’s headless approach.

Absolutely. Strapi requires developers to build custom frontends, manage APIs, handle deployments, and maintain complex architecture. WordPress is designed for non-technical users: intuitive content editor, built-in frontend, one-click publishing, easy team collaboration. Your editorial team can publish independently without developer involvement.
