Plugins stay in their own box
A WordPress plugin can reach your whole site, and by Cloudflare’s count 96% of WordPress security issues start in one. EmDash gives each plugin its own sandbox and only the access it asked for.
Free on any monthly plan
Leave WordPress without starting over
Join any Webnetic plan and we move your WordPress site to EmDash at no charge. Your pages, posts and images come across, your web addresses stay the same or redirect, and your site stops depending on a stack of plugins that each need patching.

Why leave
What’s different once you’re off WordPress
One thing to update, and it gets tested
No theme, page builder and dozen plugins to keep in step. There’s one core, and we check your site against each update before it goes live.
Pages served from Cloudflare
Most visits get a cached copy of the page from Cloudflare’s network. On our own site the first byte arrives in about 70 milliseconds.
Your details in one place
Your name, phone and address live in one record. The footer, the contact page and the data search engines read all pull from it, so a new number changes everywhere at once.
What comes across
What moves with you
Anything a plugin did for you gets rebuilt properly or replaced, and you hear which before we start.
- Every page and blog post
- Images and documents
- Page titles and search descriptions
- Your web addresses, kept or redirected
- Contact forms, rebuilt and tested with a real enquiry
- Google Analytics and Search Console
- Your current design, unless you’d like a new one
The move
How the move runs
Two to three weeks for most sites, depending on how much the site does.
- 01
We look at your site
Every page, form and plugin gets listed, so you know what moves as it is and what gets rebuilt.
- 02
We build it next door
Your WordPress site stays live the whole time while you review the EmDash version at a preview address.
- 03
We check every address
Before the switch, each old URL either loads or redirects to its new home.
- 04
We switch the domain
If we host your WordPress site, it stays on a server for a week as a fallback, and we keep a full backup after it comes down. Hosted elsewhere, you choose when to cancel.
Straight answers
When staying on WordPress is the right call
EmDash has nothing to match WooCommerce yet. If your site sells products online, it stays on WordPress, and we host and maintain it there.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Will I lose my Google rankings?
Rankings follow the address. We keep your URLs wherever we can, redirect any that change, and test every one before the domain moves.
Can I still edit the site myself?
Yes. You log in to an admin to edit pages and posts, and when you’re signed in, an Edit button on the live page opens that page’s content.
How long does a move take?
Two to three weeks for most sites, depending on how much the site does. You get a date at the first step, before you commit.
What doesn’t come across?
User accounts, and any plugin feature we’d rather rebuild than copy. You get that list at the first step.
What if my site is an online store?
It stays on WordPress with WooCommerce. We host and maintain stores there, and the move can wait until EmDash has a store system.
Is it really free?
Yes, on any monthly plan. The plan price is the only charge. A redesign is optional and quoted first.
