With the growing uncertainty surrounding WordPress, many businesses are seeking more reliable platforms to host their websites. At Zenyth, we specialize in smoothly migrating WordPress websites to Webflow while ensuring accessibility is baked into every step of the process. Here’s how we do it:

Step 1: Understanding Your Website Needs

Before starting the migration process, we work closely with you to understand your website’s current structure, functionality, and goals. This involves:

  • Site Review: Conducting a detailed review of your WordPress site, including its design, content, sitemap and features.
  • Lite Accessibility Evaluation: Identifying WCAG conformance gaps in your existing site to address during the migration.
  • Customization Requirements: Gathering insights into any specific design, functionality updates or collections you’d like to implement on Webflow.

Step 2: Creating a Migration Plan

A successful migration requires meticulous planning. Our team crafts a detailed roadmap that includes:

  • Content and Site mapping: Ensuring every page, blog post, and media asset is properly organized and accounted for.
  • Design Recreation: Translating your current design into a Webflow-friendly format while recommending updates to improve usability and accessibility.
  • Timeline Management: Providing a clear timeline with milestones so you know exactly what to expect.

Step 3: Rebuilding on Webflow

With Webflow’s intuitive interface and design flexibility, we rebuild your website from the ground up, ensuring:

  • Responsive Design: Your website looks and functions perfectly across all devices.
  • WCAG-Conformant Features: Implementing accessible design elements such as proper color contrast, semantic HTML, descriptive alt text and much more.
  • SEO Optimization: Structuring your site to enhance search engine performance, including accessible navigation and metadata.

Step 4: Ensuring Accessibility Conformance

Accessibility is not an afterthought—it’s an integral part of our process. At every stage, we:

  • Validate Code: Use tools like ARC Toolkit, WAVE and Lighthouse to ensure WCAG 2.2 AA conformance.
  • Conduct Manual Testing: Perform keyboard and screen reader testing to ensure the site is usable by everyone.

Step 5: Smooth Launch and Ongoing Support

Once your new Webflow site is ready, we:

  • Ensure Easy Transition: Assist with a smooth domain transfer from WordPress with virtually no downtime.
  • QA and User Testing Before Launch: Perform thorough checks to ensure everything functions as intended.
  • Offer Post-Launch Compliance Monitoring: Provide ongoing maintenance and accessibility audits to keep your site in top shape.
