For almost two decades, I’ve read the rollercoaster of website design. From static HTML pages to harnessing the dynamic power of PHP/MySQL websites to content management systems, I finally settled into a groove of rapid website development using the same platform as nearly a third of the websites hosted online: WordPress.
Good, bad, or indifferent, WordPress has come a mighty long way (and likely still has a ways to go depending upon which side of the fence you stand, having experienced operating or managing a WordPress website).
One of the most common questions raised — whether a new website development project or a redesign effort — about WordPress centers upon extensibility, flexibility, and the ease of migrating content from one website to another.
I’ve experienced a number of WordPress-to-WordPress migrations as well as WordPress to 3rd-Party CMS’ and vice versa.
Often, customers want to preserve blog posts and pages when redesigning their websites but shy away from preserving them due to thinking it’s too laborious to perform and achieve such a feat. But that will no longer be your fear after this tutorial.
