Effortless Migration: Switching Your Law Firm's Website from WordPress to a Purpose-Built CMS

Migrating your law firm's website from WordPress to a purpose-built CMS like RubyLaw might seem daunting, but it's easier than you think. For over a dozen years, RubyLaw has migrated content for law firms of all sizes and developed best practices to ensure a seamless transition.

How easy is it to make the switch? 

1. Content is King (and Easily Transferable): RubyLaw offers straightforward import tools. Whether it's a simple CSV file or a direct integration, migrating your existing content is a breeze—no more wrestling with clunky WordPress export/import functions via some complicated set of plugins. RubyLaw’s content import tools support text, images, video, audio, and other multimedia files, automatically optimizing them for display to your site visitors.
2. Say Goodbye to Plugin Overload: RubyLaw's core features and functionality are built explicitly for law firms, and its modern architecture means upgrades are seamless and automatic. This eliminates the need for a patchwork of WordPress plugins, juggling multiple often-incompatible plugin versions, significantly reducing security risks, and improving site speed.  
3. Data Preservation for Peace of Mind: Your existing content, including pages, posts, images, and custom fields, can be carefully migrated to the new platform. While WordPress systems typically don’t handle content relationships well, purpose-built solutions are built to manage the relationships between content (such as Lawyer Bios and Bar Admissions), and these relationships can be properly defined during the content migration process.
4. Expert Guidance and Best Practices to Manage the Process: Experienced migration specialists will handle the technical aspects, ensuring a seamless transition with minimal downtime. Whether you are moving a single firm website to RubyLaw or your website and dozens of disparate third-party blogs, our team has managed these migrations quickly and efficiently for firms of all sizes, with no data loss. 

By choosing the right partner and following a well-defined migration plan, you can transition your website with minimal disruption and maximize the benefits of a purpose-built CMS for your law firm. Contact RubyLaw to get started today!
