Hello Ronan, here are a few thoughts on moving your WordPress site to Magento:
- Migrating an existing WordPress site to Magento can be done, but it requires some technical work. It's not as simple as just transferring the content over. The underlying architecture and codebase are quite different between the two platforms.
- A few options for migration: 1) Hire a developer familiar with both WordPress and Magento to handle the migration for you 2) Use a migration service/tool like Cart2Cart that can automate much of the process 3) Rebuild the site on Magento from scratch using your current site as a reference.
- Consider if Magento is the best fit - it is more complex and suited for large ecommerce stores that need advanced functionality. Assess if your site really requires Magento's capabilities or if WordPress may still be sufficient.
- Migrating will likely involve some downtime and rebuild of functionality like URLs, design, plugins/extensions etc. Have a transition plan and validate functionality after migration.
- Leverage Magento benefits like flexible commerce features, scalability, built-in SEO and marketing tools. But you'll need to learn the platform, get proper hosting and handle ongoing management.
