    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?

    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...

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

    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.

    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
