Your website was built on a page builder that the industry is walking away from. Every WordPress update is a little riskier, the site gets a little slower, and the pool of people who can work on it gets a little smaller. I fix that — without changing how your site looks.
Most owners don’t know what their site is built on — and there’s no reason you should. Here’s how to tell if this page is about you:

WPBakery (you might know it as Visual Composer) powered a huge share of WordPress sites built between roughly 2012 and 2019 — usually inside themes like Avada, Bridge, The7, BeTheme, and Uncode. It still runs millions of sites. But the ecosystem has moved on, and the sites left behind age badly: plugin conflicts pile up, speed scores sink, mobile layouts drift, and every “14 updates available” becomes a small gamble.
Here’s the honest part: if your site works today, this is not an emergency. It’s a when, not a whether. The problem is that waiting has a price — the longer a site sits on abandoned tech, the fewer people can work on it and the more the eventual fix costs. You’re reading this at the cheap end of that curve.
Your live site stays untouched. All work happens on a private copy until you approve it.
Each page is rebuilt in Elementor by hand to match what you have. No converter plugins, no “close enough.”
WPBakery shortcodes come out of the database completely — no leftover [vc_row] junk waiting to break later.
URLs, page titles, meta descriptions, and headings all carry over exactly. Your rankings don’t reset.
Before-and-after PageSpeed scores, in writing. Then 30 days of support after launch, included.
This is a migration, not a redesign. Your logo, your colors, your layout, your content — all of it stays. Customers shouldn’t notice anything except that the site got faster. (If you do want a refresh while every page is open on the workbench anyway, that’s the cheapest moment you’ll ever have to do it — ask me.)
The straightforward version: pixel-faithful rebuild, shortcode cleanup, SEO preserved, staging, 30-day support.
Everything above, plus blog templates, custom header and footer, forms rebuilt and tested, and the full speed pass.
Stores and big sites get scoped honestly with a $250 Website Risk Audit first — credited to the project.
For scale: a full agency redesign in Atlanta runs $10,000–$20,000. A migration modernizes the machine without touching your brand.
Most owners put the finished site on Website Care ($500/mo) so it never ages like this again — updates, backups, security, and a real person who answers. Month-to-month, no contracts. It’s the default, not a requirement: if you’d rather take the finished site and run, it’s yours. Everything always is.
