React is great for apps. For marketing sites, the trade-offs add up.

React is the right tool for dashboards, interactive features, and real SaaS apps. It's the wrong tool for a content-heavy marketing site that needs SEO, a CMS, and edits from non-developers.

SEO is a constant fight.

React SPAs render client-side by default. Googlebot handles JavaScript now, but crawl timing is inconsistent, schema is harder to inject, Core Web Vitals suffer from hydration cost, and rankings stay softer than server-rendered equivalents. WordPress ships server-rendered HTML with schema, sitemaps, and Rank Math built in — the architecture Google rewards.

Every copy change is a code change.

Marketing wants to update a headline? It's a branch, PR, review, build, deploy. Typo on the pricing page? Same workflow. WordPress lets non-technical team members edit content directly, with your design tokens and components preserved as reusable Gutenberg blocks. Your dev time goes back to actual product work.

The maintenance tax keeps climbing.

Dependency updates, Node version bumps, bundler migrations (Webpack to Vite), React major versions, build pipeline breakage, security patches. Create React App has been deprecated since early 2023, and Gatsby's active development has slowed significantly. WordPress core handles its own updates. Your time stops flowing into maintaining a build system.

Sound familiar? That's exactly where we come in.

What you get with a React to WordPress conversion

Every conversion includes the full stack — not as add-ons. Your design, your components, your SEO, and your team's ability to edit content without cloning the repo.

✓ Pixel-accurate WordPress rebuild (Elementor or Gutenberg — recommend Gutenberg for React devs)
✓ Framework-agnostic: Create React App, Vite, Next.js static export, Gatsby, Remix, custom setups
✓ React components translated to custom Gutenberg blocks (built in React — preserves your investment)
✓ Tailwind/CSS-in-JS/CSS modules rebuilt as WordPress theme styles + block CSS
✓ Design tokens (colors, spacing, typography) migrated to theme.json
✓ Client-side routes become WordPress pages with proper URL structure
✓ API routes mapped to WordPress REST or kept as external endpoints (headless option)
✓ Full on-page SEO: server-rendered HTML, Rank Math, schema, XML sitemap, Open Graph
✓ Core Web Vitals pass — typically better than a hydrated React SPA
✓ 301 redirects from every React route — rankings preserved
✓ Deploy-ready with Cloudflare, managed WP hosting, or your existing cloud provider
✓ Build pipeline retired — no more Node version pins or Dependabot PRs for marketing copy
✓ Training video + 14 days of post-launch support

From React codebase to production WordPress in 7 days

One predictable process. No surprises, no scope creep, no "it's almost done."

Day 1

Free Audit

Share your repo (GitHub/GitLab access, or a ZIP). We audit the framework, component architecture, routes, APIs, auth, styling approach, and any dynamic content. You get a clear scope doc within 24 hours: what moves cleanly, what needs rebuild, what's optional, and the fixed price. If headless WordPress suits you better, we'll say so.

2
Days 2–5

Rebuild

Pixel-accurate WordPress build. Your React components translated to custom Gutenberg blocks — same JSX logic, WordPress data flow. Tailwind/CSS rebuilt as theme styles + block styles. Routes become pages. Design tokens move to theme.json. We work from staging; your live React site stays untouched.

3
Day 6

Content + API + SEO

Dynamic content (blog posts, case studies, products) migrated to WordPress custom post types with ACF. API routes decided: either migrated to WordPress REST or kept as external endpoints for app-like features. Full SEO setup: schema, sitemap, Rank Math, Search Console, IndexNow, 301 redirects from every React route.

Day 7

Handoff

DNS cutover to your new WordPress host (Cloudways, Kinsta, or your choice). Build pipeline decommissioned — no more Node version pins, no more Dependabot PRs for marketing copy. Personal training video for the team. 14 days of support. Git repo archived; WordPress admin is the new source of truth for content.

Real React conversions. Real developer relief.

Every site below started as a custom React build. We rebuilt each one in WordPress — components translated, SEO fixed, dev time returned to product work.

★★★★★

"We had a Next.js marketing site with 80 components that nobody could edit except me. Amit turned every component into a Gutenberg block. The marketing team updates the site daily now. I got my Fridays back."

Founder

★★★★★

"Create React App deprecation was the push. Rather than migrate to Vite and keep fighting SEO, we moved the whole marketing layer to WordPress. Same design, better rankings, zero build pipeline."

★★★★★

"Our Gatsby site was sourcing from WordPress headless already, but the complexity wasn't paying off. Consolidating to a single WordPress stack with Gutenberg cut our infrastructure and sped up the site."

React vs. WordPress — for a marketing/content site

React is unmatched for interactive apps. WordPress is unmatched for content-driven sites with SEO, CMS, and non-developer editing. This comparison is narrowly about marketing sites — if you're building a real app, React still wins.

What matters React WordPress
Interactive app features Excellent — SPAs, real-time UI Possible, but not core strength
Content-heavy marketing site Overkill with SEO trade-offs Purpose-built
SEO out of the box Client-side rendered, needs SSR setup Server-rendered by default
CMS None — code changes only Native, extensive, battle-tested
Non-dev content editing Not possible without extra layer First-class feature
Component reuse React components Gutenberg blocks (built in React)
Build pipeline Webpack/Vite/Rollup — constant maintenance None — PHP runtime, no build step
Plugin ecosystem npm packages (maintenance burden) 59,000+ plugins (managed UI)
Hosting cost $20–$200/mo (Vercel/Netlify/AWS) $15–$80/mo flat
Dev time on marketing updates PR workflow for every change Zero — team edits directly
Framework lifecycle risk CRA deprecated, Gatsby slowed Stable since 2003

FAQ

React to WordPress — frequently asked questions

I have a Create React App site (CRA). Can it become WordPress?
Yes — and it's a common migration. CRA was deprecated in February 2023, so you're also escaping a dead framework. We rebuild the UI in Gutenberg (which is itself built in React), translate components to custom blocks, and move routes to WordPress pages. The JSX logic often translates 80–90% directly into block render functions; you just wire it to WordPress data instead of props.
My site is built with Vite. Is the migration different?
Mostly the same. Vite is just the bundler — the React output is structurally similar to CRA. The bigger questions are how you fetch data (fetch/axios vs. React Query vs. SWR), how you handle routes (React Router, TanStack Router), and whether you have SSG/SSR. We audit all of this in the free scope call and build the WordPress equivalent. Vite sites often migrate faster than CRA because they're newer and better-organized.
Can my React components be preserved as Gutenberg blocks?
Yes — this is one of WordPress's best-kept secrets for React devs. Gutenberg blocks are written in React. Your existing component's JSX, props structure, and state logic port into a custom block's edit/save functions with minor adjustments. Design tokens (colors, spacing, typography) move to theme.json. Your component library doesn't get thrown away; it gets translated.
My site uses Next.js — is this the same as a React migration?
Similar, with nuance. If your Next.js site is mostly static (SSG via getStaticProps or the App Router's server components), the migration is straightforward — we convert the static routes to WordPress pages. If it uses heavy SSR, middleware, or API routes for app functionality, we'll discuss whether full migration or headless WordPress (WP as backend, Next.js as frontend) makes more sense. That's what the free audit determines.
What about Gatsby? Mine already sources from WordPress headless.
Very common. Teams adopted Gatsby + WordPress headless for performance, then found Gatsby development slowed and the complexity wasn't paying off. Consolidating to a single WordPress stack with Gutenberg typically reduces infrastructure, simplifies deployment, and ships equivalent or better performance (LCP under 2.5s with modern WP hosting). If your content is already in WordPress, the migration is mostly frontend rebuild — which is faster.
Should I consider headless WordPress instead of full migration?
Sometimes, yes. Headless (WordPress backend + React frontend via REST or WPGraphQL) makes sense when you have genuine app-like functionality in React that doesn't translate to WordPress templates — real-time features, complex state, logged-in user experiences. It's the wrong choice for pure marketing/content sites. We recommend headless in maybe 15% of cases; full migration in the other 85%. The audit tells you which camp you're in.
What happens to my API routes and data layer?
Three options depending on what your APIs do. (1) Content APIs (blog posts, products, case studies) migrate to WordPress REST — native, free, no extra infrastructure. (2) App-layer APIs (user actions, transactions, real-time data) can stay as external endpoints that WordPress fetches via server-side requests or embedded components. (3) Third-party APIs (Stripe, SendGrid, Twilio) integrate via WordPress plugins or lightweight custom integration. All three discussed in the audit.
How much of my React code can be reused?
More than you'd think. Your JSX, component logic, design tokens, and most of your CSS transfer with minor adaptation. What doesn't transfer: build config, routing library, state management wiring. Your hooks mostly port to block edit functions. Your styles port to block styles or theme.json. A typical React → WordPress migration reuses 40–60% of the original code, saving significant rebuild time.
How long does a React to WordPress conversion take?
Most React projects finish in 5–10 days. Simple single-page React sites: 3–4 days. Multi-page sites with blog and dynamic content: 7–10 days. Complex apps with component libraries, APIs, and authentication: 10–14 days. Next.js with heavy SSR features: add 2–3 days. You'll get a firm timeline in the free audit.
Will my performance match or beat React after moving to WordPress?
Usually beat. A hydrated React SPA pays a performance cost even on a fast server: JS bundle download, parse, hydrate, and then render. Server-rendered WordPress with modern hosting (Cloudflare + managed WP + lightweight theme) ships HTML to the browser that's already paintable. LCP usually drops, CLS improves, and Total Blocking Time disappears. The exception is apps with heavy client-side interactivity — we cover those with targeted JS, not hydration of everything.
