WordPress migration · updates by text · fixed price

No WordPress. No retainer. Just text us.

Stop paying an agency every month to change a price, swap a photo or update your hours. Stop babysitting plugin updates and wondering if you've been hacked. We rebuild your WordPress site as fast static pages with no plugins and no login to break into. After that, you text us what to change on WhatsApp or email, and it's live, often the same day.

Send us your URL. Within 24 hours you get a free report: what WordPress costs you today in hosting, plugins and waiting, what migration changes, and a fixed quote. No strings attached.

What WordPress is really costing you

A retainer to wait in line

New prices, new hours, one photo from last week's job. A two-minute edit, and you still email the agency and wait days for it, while the retainer bills whether anyone touches your site or not. So the site goes stale, because asking is a chore.

Plugins, patches, break-ins

WordPress wants updates every week, and an outdated plugin is the most common way small-business sites get hacked. Someone has to stay on top of it: you, or a monthly maintenance plan. Cleaning up after one hack costs more than a year of that plan.

A slow site burns ad spend

Every plugin, theme and database query adds seconds. On a phone, customers bounce back to Google before your offer loads, after you've already paid for the click. Google Ads also scores landing page experience, so a slow page can raise your cost per click. This is the one cost we can measure, and the free audit measures it.

Same website. None of the baggage.

After migration your site is clean, static files on a global network. No database, no PHP, no plugins: nothing to patch and nothing to break into. Changes are a text message, not a ticket sitting in somebody's queue.

How it works

  1. A 1:1 migration

    We rebuild your site pixel for pixel: same layout, same copy, same prices. We work on a copy, so your current site stays up the whole time. You approve everything on a preview link before we switch the domain.

  2. White-glove updates by text

    From day one, text us what to change in plain English: "oil change $49", "add the photos from the Henderson job". You get a preview, you approve, it's live. 24-hour SLA on Concierge, usually faster. No dashboard, no logins, no chasing.

  3. One plan: updates, hosting, care

    One line item instead of three: updates by text, managed Cloudflare hosting on your own account, and care (uptime monitoring, version history, bug fixes). No "plugin updates" line, because there are no plugins.

Fixed prices, known upfront

A one-time setup fee for a new site or a WordPress migration, sized by page count. We confirm the price in writing after the free audit: if your site turns out bigger, you find out before you decide, not on the invoice. Your first month of Concierge is included. Prices exclude VAT and sales tax where applicable.

Starter

Clinics, auto shops, contractors, local services: when your site has one job, getting found and getting the phone to ring.

Questions we hear most

How do updates by text actually work?

You message us in plain English on WhatsApp or by email: "raise the oil change to $49" or "add three photos from the Henderson job to the gallery". You get a preview link, you approve it, and it goes live. No dashboard to log into, no tool to learn, no waiting for someone to free up. On Concierge every update is live within 24 hours on business days; on Care, within 2 business days. In practice, small edits usually go live the same day.

Who makes sure a text message can't break my site?

We do. Every change goes through a preview and automated checks before your customers see it. If something doesn't build, it doesn't ship. One sentence can't wipe your pricing page or wreck your layout. That's the difference between a concierge and a WordPress dashboard, where anyone with a login can do anything.

Will I lose my Google rankings?

No. This is the part we guard most closely. Every URL stays the same or gets a 301 redirect. Meta tags, structured data and your sitemap move over with the content. Rankings usually go up, because a clean static site is easier to crawl, including for AI-powered search engines.

What happens to my contact form?

It keeps working, with no Contact Form 7 and no plugins. Submissions land in your inbox through a simple form service (often built into the host). Bots get caught by a hidden honeypot field instead of a CAPTCHA, so real customers never have to click on traffic lights.

What's included in the monthly plan?

Three things in one: updates by text, managed Cloudflare hosting (set up on your own account) and care: uptime monitoring, full version history, bug fixes. Care ($49/mo) covers up to 4 updates a month, live within 2 business days. Concierge ($99/mo) covers up to 12 updates with a 24-hour SLA, 4-hour emergency response on business days and one new page per quarter. Concierge Plus ($149/mo) raises that to 25 updates, blog posts included, with priority handling. There's no "plugin updates" line item, because there are no plugins. Cancel with 30 days' notice: your site stays yours and keeps running, because it's just files.

How much will I actually save?

A typical small-business WordPress site costs $100–$500 a month in agency retainers or maintenance plans, plus hosting, plus premium plugin and theme licenses, plus somebody's time for every small change. Our plans start at $49/mo with hosting included. Then there's the cost nobody budgets for: cleaning up after a hack.

Does this work for online stores (WooCommerce)?

Stores are a different scale of project, so they're not part of the packages above. If you run one, tell us. We'll say straight out whether moving makes sense or whether you're better off staying on Woo.

What happens to my old site?

Nothing gets lost. Your old WordPress site stays with you as a backup for 30 days, until you've confirmed everything works. Switching the domain is a single DNS change, and it can be rolled back in minutes.

Do you work with businesses in the US and UK?

Yes. Appience is a software company with 16 years behind it, based in Poland and working in English. Everything happens in writing over WhatsApp or email, so time zones don't slow anything down, and every SLA counts from the moment your message arrives.

When did you last wait on a change to your own website?

A free audit within 24 hours: what WordPress costs you today, how much of that disappears after migration, and a fixed quote. One email, no strings attached.

Appience is the data controller. We use what you send only to prepare your audit and get in touch about it. Details: privacy policy.
