Want to switch from static website to wp website

I want to switch my health related website from static to wp website. The main reason is plugin support which is available to add different functionalities to the website. Should I go for this change?

 

Can you plz send me your site link ?
Maybe i can help you.

 

How big is your current website? If you have less than 50 pages it shouldn't be a problem, but if you have thousands of pages it is going to be much better if you hire someone that knows what he is doing... Also remember to redirect all your old URLs to the new Location...

 

It's just containing around 30 pages. What if I change the content ...still I need to redirect the URLs or not?

 

Unless your website has been banned or penalized by google you should always redirect the old URLs to the new ones

 

install a new wordpress blog and copy paste the content from your static site to new blog
and redirect old site to new blog

 

Have you previously worked with wordpress ?
As an seo perspective, if your articles are not ranking well on Google, it won't effect much when you move from static website to wordpress. But you must fix the URLs, either naming the exact url same as static one or through redirection.

 

You won't have to redirect the old URL to the new ones if you set Permalinks in Wordpress properly.

 

I can help you setup a WordPress site and convert all your pages into a WP theme. If interested, kindly contact me. Thanks!

 

Hi LucardK,

Is it possible to help me with my query?

Will you please guide me how to redirect the old URLs to new?

 

if you are using same domain then just modify the nameservers in your domain control panel
if you using a separate domain for wp site then simply use htaccess redirection method to redirect all traffic from old domain to new site
let me know if you need any help with it I will do it for free

 

I would suggest to use the .htaccess in your web root directory.
To redirect an url address from the url structure to the new one you can do the following:

At the end of your .htaccess file, copy and paste this line and modify it to fit your urls:

redirect 301 /my-old-url.htm http://www.my-domain-name.com/new-url/

Code (markup):

You must use a new line for each of the urls you want to redirect.

 

It totally depends on the number of HTML pages you currently have. It will be quite some work to transfer all website contents to the wp cms
