What Determines Migration Cost in India
The cost of migrating a static HTML website to WordPress in India varies significantly based on four primary factors — and understanding each one helps you evaluate whether a quoted price represents genuine value or a potentially costly shortcut.
Number of pages is the most direct cost determinant. A 5-page brochure website — Home, About, Services, Gallery, Contact — migrates significantly faster than a 20-page service company site with individual service pages, team profiles, project portfolio, testimonials, and location-specific pages. Each additional page requires content extraction from HTML, WordPress page creation, design layout, SEO metadata configuration, and redirect setup — adding measurable time and cost to the project.
Design complexity is the second factor. A migration that rebuilds the existing website’s design in WordPress with minimal visual changes costs less than a migration combined with a full redesign — new colour palette, new layout structure, new photography, and new brand identity. Many businesses use the migration as an opportunity to modernise their website design simultaneously — which is sensible but adds to the project scope and cost.
SEO requirements determine a significant portion of migration cost that many budget providers omit entirely. A proper migration includes URL audit, 301 redirect configuration, RankMath SEO setup with individual meta tags for every page, Google Search Console reconnection, and sitemap submission. Providers who omit this work deliver a technically migrated website that loses Google rankings within weeks — creating a far more expensive problem to fix than the cost of doing it correctly from the start.
Additional functionality requested during migration — contact forms, WhatsApp integration, blog setup, photo galleries, Google Maps, testimonial sections, and social media feeds — adds scope and cost beyond the baseline migration of existing content.
Migration Cost Breakdown — What You Are Paying For
Understanding what a professional migration service includes helps clarify why quality migration costs more than a basic platform switch and why the difference represents genuine value rather than overcharging.
A properly scoped migration at the ₹12,000 to ₹18,000 price range includes pre-migration audit of the existing static website, NVMe SSD hosting setup with SSL certificate, WordPress core installation and security configuration, Divi and Divi Plus theme installation and licence, complete content migration from all existing pages, mobile-responsive layout building for every page, SEO plugin installation and configuration with page-specific meta tags, URL mapping and 301 redirect setup for all changed URLs, Google Analytics and Search Console reconnection, testing across mobile and desktop browsers, client review and revision cycle, and go-live with DNS configuration.
A budget migration at ₹3,000 to ₹5,000 typically includes WordPress installation on shared hosting, a free theme, basic content copy-paste into default page layouts, and a go-live with no SEO configuration, no redirects, no mobile optimisation audit, and no performance testing. The result is a WordPress website that technically exists but performs worse than the original static site in mobile experience, loading speed, and Google search visibility.
CodeShoppy Migration Pricing Structure
CodeShoppy’s static to WordPress migration is structured across two plans depending on the size and scope of the existing static website.
The Business Plan at ₹12,000 covers static websites with up to 10 pages — complete content migration, Divi theme customisation, mobile responsiveness, SEO configuration, redirect setup, and go-live. Domain registration and NVMe hosting for the first year are included. Annual renewal is ₹2,500 covering hosting, SSL, and support.
The Business Plus Plan at ₹15,000 covers static websites with 11 to 20 pages — the same complete scope with additional page migration, extended content audit, and more complex redirect mapping for larger site structures. For static websites above 20 pages or requiring significant new content creation alongside migration, custom project scoping and pricing applies.
All CodeShoppy migration projects include a 30-day post-launch support period and a WordPress handover session covering self-management of the new website.
Why Cheap Migration Services Cost More Long-Term
The temptation to choose the cheapest available migration service is understandable — but the downstream costs of a poorly executed migration consistently exceed the initial saving. Lost Google rankings from missing redirects take 6 to 12 months and significant SEO investment to recover. A broken mobile layout reduces enquiry volume every day it remains unfixed. Missing SSL configuration displays security warnings that drive away visitors. Poorly installed themes and plugins create security vulnerabilities that result in website hacking — with cleanup costs that dwarf the original migration budget.
The correct evaluation of migration cost is not the cheapest upfront price — it is the total cost including the downstream consequences of execution quality. A ₹12,000 migration executed correctly has a lower total cost than a ₹4,000 migration followed by ₹8,000 in ranking recovery, redesign, and security cleanup.
Common Questions
Is the migration cost a one-time payment or are there ongoing fees? The migration cost of ₹12,000 or ₹15,000 is a one-time project payment. Ongoing annual renewal at ₹2,500 covers hosting, SSL, and support — there are no other recurring charges.
Does CodeShoppy charge extra for 301 redirect setup? No — URL mapping and 301 redirect configuration for all pages on the existing static website is included in the standard migration cost at no additional charge.
Can I pay the migration cost in instalments? CodeShoppy’s standard payment structure is 50% advance before work begins and 50% balance before go-live — effectively splitting the cost into two payments aligned with project milestones.
Is domain registration included in the migration cost? Yes — a new domain registration for the first year is included in all CodeShoppy migration plans. If you already have an existing domain, we configure the new WordPress website on your existing domain at no additional charge.
What is the migration cost for a website with more than 20 pages? Custom project scoping applies for websites above 20 pages — call +91 88070 34653 to discuss your specific website size and receive an accurate project quotation.
