WordPress Migration with Custom Design

We are looking for an experienced WordPress developer to migrate our existing organisational website from SiteVision to WordPress.

This is primarily a website migration project, not a completely new website. We will provide a website export from our current provider (Native Digital), along with branding assets and content.

Project Scope
The successful developer will be responsible for:
• Migrating all existing website pages, content, images, downloadable documents, and media to WordPress.
• Recreating the current website design while improving the overall user experience and ensuring it is fully responsive across desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.
• Setting up a clean and easy-to-manage WordPress backend so our team can update content without technical knowledge.
• Implementing contact forms and ensuring all existing website functionality continues to work.
• Integrating existing services where required (e.g. Google Analytics, social media feeds, embedded content, QR code/Fandeck content).
• Preserving SEO where possible, including page URLs, metadata, and redirects.
• Testing the website before launch to ensure all pages, links, forms, and downloads function correctly.
• Assisting with the final website launch, including domain and DNS updates if required.

We Will Provide
• Website export from SiteVision
• Existing website content
• Images and branding assets
• Domain and hosting information
• Feedback throughout the project

Required Skills
• Proven experience migrating websites from another CMS to WordPress
• Strong WordPress development experience
• Experience with Elementor or Gutenberg
• HTML, CSS, PHP, and responsive web design
• Website migration and SEO best practices
• Experience with DNS and website launches

Preferred Experience
Experience working with community organisations, charities, Indigenous organisations, or government projects is highly desirable.

Deliverables
• Fully functional WordPress website
• Responsive design across all devices
• Easy-to-manage WordPress admin dashboard
• Content successfully migrated
• SEO preserved where possible
• Website tested and ready for launch
• Post-launch support for bug fixes (2–4 weeks preferred)

Please include examples of previous website migration projects in your proposal, particularly migrations from non-WordPress platforms to WordPress.
