Contact form
I need shipping service. We set up a hosting script or external service, check the costs and test message delivery. The appearance of the form itself is only part of the work.
Choose the side that suits the way you work.
An offer that is rarely changed and a store that is expanded every day requires different solutions. The technology is supposed to make your work easier and match the website's functions.
Starting point
Same goal. Various facilities.
WordPress stores content in the database and uses the system, theme and add-ons to prepare the website. It provides an editing panel and the ability to operate many advanced functions.
Static page delivers ready-made files to the browser. The offer, photos and navigation may remain as before. However, the WordPress panel is missing, so standalone editing and dynamic functions require separate arrangements.
It is the method of publication and service that should determine the choice. The mere presence of WordPress does not mean that the page needs to be replaced.
Comparison
What changes in everyday use?
| What is important | WordPress | Page without WordPress |
|---|---|---|
| Offer, photos and contact | Yes. The content uses the WordPress theme and system. | Yes. The browser gets the ready page. |
| Content change | Independently in the panel, depending on permissions and configuration. | In files or by change order. The panel requires a separate solution. |
| Regular updates | WordPress, theme and plugins, and hosting environment. | WordPress and its add-ons are out of the question. The hosting and services used still require maintenance. |
| Form, map, gallery | Mostly supported by theme and plugins. | Features reproduced and tested within the established scope. |
| Shop and customer account | They can use ready-made extensions and integrations. | They require a separate system. Beyond basic migration. |
| Further costs | Domain, hosting, service and possible licenses. | Domain, hosting, content changes and possible external services. |
Consider migration
The website presents the company and changes rarely.
- you show services, projects, photos and contact
- you update the content several times a year
- you do not use the store and customer accounts
- you want to limit updating WordPress and add-ons
- you have an agreed method for changes later
Save and clean up WordPress
The dashboard and features are part of your job.
- you publish entries and news regularly
- you manage products or orders
- you need login and various permissions
- you use integrations that you don't want to rebuild
- the current website meets the needs and has efficient service
Features after transfer
What about the form, map and reservations?
Before migration, a list of features is created. Each of them gets a decision: stay, change the way they act or require a separate solution.
Gallery and interactive elements
The photos and the agreed viewing experience can be recreated without the old plug-in. A large library, filtering and independent material management require a separate quote.
Map, chat and analytics
External services can remain if their integration allows it. We determine the accounts, costs and method of settlement. The requirements for these services do not disappear when the site technology changes.
Shop, reservations and accounts
These are separate business processes. Data, payment and integration support needs to be assessed. They are not part of the basic migration package for up to 5 pages.
Before the decision
Answer five questions.
- How often do I really change my content?
- Which features need to work as usual?
- Who will add texts and photos after migration?
- How much does hosting, service and licenses cost today?
- What specific problem is this change intended to solve?
If you don't have all the answers, start with the website address. The rest will be determined during the valuation.
