Website Migration
ETTE rebuilds your site as plain HTML published through GitHub and Cloudflare, then hands your staff a guided Claude Code workflow for making changes themselves. One week, one flat fee of $750.
Built for sites of roughly ten to forty pages whose content changes now and then. The accounts, the code, and the domain all stay in your name.
Why Clients Make the Move
A content management system earns its keep on large sites that publish constantly. On a small site it mostly adds hosting fees, plugin renewals, and a reason to call a developer every time a phone number changes. A static site removes all three.
The recurring bills that come with WordPress go away.
There is no server-side code, database, or admin login for an attacker to target.
Static files served from Cloudflare's edge load faster than pages a CMS renders on demand.
Nontechnical staff make changes through a guided, AI-assisted Claude Code workflow instead of filing a ticket with a developer.
Every change is tracked in GitHub, so any edit can be reviewed or rolled back.
You know the full cost and the full scope before work starts.
Side by Side
Scroll sideways on small screens to see both columns.
| WordPress on managed hosting | Static site on GitHub and Cloudflare | |
|---|---|---|
| Hosting bill | A monthly fee for managed WordPress hosting, plus paid plugin and theme renewals | Cloudflare serves static assets free with no request cap on its Free plan. Domain registration stays with your registrar |
| Changing a paragraph or photo | A developer or agency edit, billed per change or on retainer, often after a wait of days | A named staff member describes the edit in Claude Code, checks the preview link, and publishes |
| What an attacker can reach | PHP, a database, an admin login, and every installed plugin | Plain files behind Cloudflare's CDN and DDoS protection; nothing runs on a server |
| Updates | Plugin, theme, and PHP upgrades, any of which can take the site down | No runtime to upgrade. Each change is a tracked commit that can be rolled back |
| Page speed | Pages assembled by the server on each request | Files served from Cloudflare's edge network, close to the visitor |
| Who owns it | Content in a database tied to the host and the theme | A GitHub repository in your account. Clone it and host it anywhere |
| Best site size | Any size; the CMS builds navigation and page lists for you | Roughly 10 to 40 pages. Larger sites, or sites that restructure navigation often, need a scope conversation first |
How The Week Runs
Before day one: we look at your current site, confirm the page count fits, and name your contributors.
GitHub and Cloudflare accounts in your name, the repository and publishing pipeline, and contributor onboarding begins.
Your content moves over page by page and is checked against the original. Every image is rehosted on the new site.
Every DNS record is captured and verified, then the domain moves to Cloudflare. Registrar access is needed by this point.
A live working session covers edit, preview, and publish end to end. A closing meeting confirms the site is live.
Domain changes can take up to 48 hours to reach every corner of the internet, so the cutover starts on day four and propagates in the background. The day-five handoff is verified against the live origin directly. If registrar access arrives after day four, the cutover and the one-week timeline slip by the same amount at no added cost.
What ETTE Sets Up
Everything below is created under your accounts. ETTE configures it and hands it over. Nothing needs ETTE to keep running.
Is This The Right Fit
There is no content management system generating pages or navigation on your behalf. That is the point for a small site, and the limitation for a large one.
Pricing
Every engagement is delivered under the same fixed terms, so you know the full scope and the full cost before work starts. The fee covers the seven pieces listed above for a site of up to 40 pages and up to 3 contributors.
The complete migration, from account setup through the closing handoff meeting.
Options that extend the base scope. None requires a backend server.
Costs that stay with you, and work this engagement does not cover.
Sites larger than 40 pages or with more than 3 contributors are quoted after a scope adjustment. See ETTE pricing for managed IT plans if you want ongoing support after the site is live.
Client Testimonial
ETTE transformed our website by moving it from WordPress to a modern solution developed with Claude, managed through GitHub, and deployed through Cloudflare.
The difference was immediate. We can now make real-time changes to our website without paying a developer for every update or waiting days, or even weeks, for the work to be completed. This gives our team greater control, flexibility, and the ability to keep our content current.
The new website has also improved our search engine optimization and online visibility. Most impressively, we received a new business inquiry on the second day after the website went live, a clear sign that the new site was already working for us.
The ETTE team was extremely knowledgeable, responsive, and wonderful to work with throughout the entire process. They took the time to understand our business, explained the technology clearly, and created a solution that supports our growth.
We were so pleased with the experience and results that we selected ETTE to become our ongoing IT partner. I highly recommend ETTE to any organization seeking a knowledgeable technology team and a website that is easier to manage, more visible online, and designed to generate business.
Common Questions
$750, fixed, for a site of up to 40 pages with up to 3 contributors, delivered in one week. Additional contributors are $50 each. Claude Code subscription fees, domain fees, and any ongoing support after handoff are separate.
Cloudflare's Workers Free plan serves static assets at no charge with no request cap, per Cloudflare's published pricing as of September 2026. Most small sites never need the $5 per month paid plan. Your domain registration stays wherever it is today, and you keep paying that renewal. If you add a form service or payment links, those vendors bill you directly on their own tiers.
No. Before any nameserver change, ETTE captures every existing DNS record live, including the MX, TXT, and DKIM records your mail and third-party services depend on, reproduces them in your Cloudflare account, and re-verifies each one after the move. On the Results One migration, Google Workspace mail and third-party DKIM signing carried over with no interruption.
No. Contributors describe a change in plain language in Claude Code, which edits the files on their own branch. They check the result on their preview link, then publish. The handoff session walks each person through that loop live, and the prompts include an accessibility check before any change and a branch-safety check before anything is committed.
Each contributor works under your organization's Claude Code (Anthropic) account. Its subscription and usage fees are billed to you directly by Anthropic, both during the migration and for edits afterward, and are not part of ETTE's $750 fee. Anthropic sets those prices, so check its current plans when you scope the project.
The fixed fee covers up to 40 pages. Sites with hundreds of pages, frequent navigation changes, a storefront, or a member login are usually better served another way, because there is no CMS generating pages and menus for you. Tell us the page count on the scoping call and we will say which side of the line you are on.
Hands-on support beyond the closing meeting is available as a separate monthly arrangement. It is not part of the fixed fee. Because everything lives in your own GitHub and Cloudflare accounts, you can also bring in any other developer, or clone the repository and host it elsewhere.
