WordPress is for sharing knowledge. CampusPress simplifies WordPress.
Your university’s website isn’t just a static homepage with basic information.
It’s a complex digital ecosystem of departmental sites, research labs, faculty blogs, student publications, admissions pages, and online learning spaces.
Without the right infrastructure, it becomes fragmented, insecure and difficult to govern.
WordPress is the modular, flexible tool you need to make this happen, and CampusPress is how you do it with complete control over privacy, users and content.
Our fully managed WordPress multisite platform gives you centralized control over users, privacy, branding, and compliance, while still empowering faculty, staff, and students to publish independently.
There’s a reason why 35 of the top 100 universities in the USA use CampusPress, including Yale, Cornell and Chicago.
Your school’s website informs, empowers and inspires.
Meanwhile, we’re here to make sure the tech side of things never slows you down.
Frequently Asked Questions
To get your migration started, we'll need:
- Administrator access to the source site
- Your hosting environment details
- External dependencies such as email services, SSO, APIs, or integrations
- Access to the site files and database that we're migrating
- A signed Scope of Work (SoW)
- A valid Purchase Order or full payment
Once all of these prerequisites are in place, we'll schedule your migration.
Sometimes an incompatible theme, plugin or page builder means your content or functionality can't be migrated as-is. But don't worry, we have many ways of working around this.
We can try excluding the incompatible component from the migration, recreating the content manually, or using an approved alternative to see if we can re-create things in the same way on your new site.
If none of the above works, we can always roll up our sleeves and custom build it for you. If that's the case, we'll be sure to give you a clear scope of work and quote for this before we begin.
We use a "Lift and Shift" migration approach, which allows us to migrate an exact copy of your website from its current location to your new home on WordPress.
This is the fastest, lowest-risk and most cost effective way to move your site. Your existing content and structure will be migrated, layouts will be rebuilt using WordPress blocks where required and we'll prioritize platform standards, security, and maintainability.
Your site remains live during the migration, so there's no disruption for your visitors.
We may need to do some rebuilding if your site uses legacy themes or incompatible page builders or plugins, but most of the time we'll be able to simply "lift" your sites and "shift" them over to WordPress.
Our migrations don't include:
- Redesigning your site
- Cleaning up or restructuring your content
- Refactoring custom code (except for adjustments required for compatibility)
- Fixing pre-existing errors, bugs or warnings
- Accessibility remediation beyond platform requirements
- Performance optimization (beyond the baseline platform improvements)
However, if you do need our help with these extras, let us know and we can add it to the scope!
Our goal is to keep your site looking the same wherever possible.
But sometimes things might need to change. For example:
- We may need to swap out unsupported themes or page builders.
- Block-based layouts might need to be rebuilt.
- There may be differences in CSS or styling methods.
- We may need to make accessibility improvements.
If we do make changes, it's always because we're making sure your site looks good, works well and is responsive and accessible in its new home.
Once we've taken a snapshot of your site, any edits you or other users make after that point won't be included in the migration.
We recommend freezing content changes during the process, so you won't lose any important site changes. Don't worry, the migration won't take long, so you'll only need to put things on pause for a very short while.
We'll let you know when your site is live and ready to be edited again.
Our process includes two rounds of review:
In the primary review round, we'll identify any migration defects. In the final review, we'll confirm fixes and make sure your site is ready to launch.
If you need additional reviews beyond this, let us know and we can adjust the scope.
Most of the time, we'll be able to move your site over without disrupting your existing URL structure, so there will be little to no impact on your SEO after the migration.
If we do need to make changes to any of your URLs, we'll be sure to set up redirects, so your SEO will be protected.
The cost of your migration will depend on:
- The size and overall complexity of your site
- Any themes, plugins, and page builders you're currently using
- Whether you need us to manually rebuild anything
- Any custom functionality or third-party integrations
We'll outline everything in the agreed Scope of Work after your initial assessment, so you know exactly what's covered and what your overall cost will be.
Yes! It's not included in the scope of work by default, but training can be added on as a separate service.
If it's something you're interested in, let us know and we can schedule it before or after launch. We recommend arranging training after launch, to give your editors a chance to work with the migrated site and identify any areas they'd like help with.
You do! We provide the hosting platform and managed services, but you'll always have full ownership over your site and content.
The project is complete when your site is live and you've given us the final approval in writing. Then, we'll send the invoice based on our agreed-upon Scope of Work.
