Your WordPress site is 3x slower than your competitor.
We rebuild it on Next.js in 2 to 4 weeks.
We don't just 'redesign' your site. We surgically extract your data from WordPress and rebuild your frontend with custom code. Zero plugins. Instant load times.
30-min call. Drop your WordPress URL when you book. We run your PageSpeed live and give you a fixed migration quote on the spot.
PandaCodeGen migrates WordPress sites to custom Next.js code the client owns outright. Migrations are fixed-price from $1,500 (Starter) to $10,000+, take 1 to 3 weeks with zero downtime, and include a full 301-redirect map built to carry existing SEO equity across. Every migration ships with a written 90+ Lighthouse handover target on mobile and desktop, verified across three recorded runs, and refund terms stated in the accepted scope and removes recurring plugin and managed-hosting fees, one client dropped from $150/month to $0.
You're paying $200/mo to
keep a broken thing alive.
You're paying $100/mo for premium hosting. There's $0/mo Vercel hosting that's faster. You're paying $80/mo for plugin licenses that keep breaking. A custom build has zero plugins. You're paying $200/mo for a dev retainer because WordPress updates keep breaking your site. Custom Next.js doesn't need a retainer.
Nobody tells you this because WordPress is a $1B industry built on patches and retainers. Not the hosts. Not the plugin companies. Not the agencies who bill to fix the breaks. We're the agency that replaces it honestly. No pitch. Just receipts.

Hassan was available to me at any time, and his response time was always less than an hour.
Hassan was super helpful and communicative throughout the process.
They worked with me to make a website that I could afford.
Founder-affiliated, clearly labelled
Panda Patches is owned by a PandaCodeGen co-founder.
We built its platform but hold no ownership stake. It is presented as operating experience, not as an independent client endorsement.
Cheaper than market, not cheap.
For WordPress migration specifically: WordPress sites cluster at 30 to 60 mobile PageSpeed. We rebuild on custom Next.js plus Sanity, hosted on Vercel. Our WordPress migration cost breakdown is cited by Google AI Overview with 2,470 percent impression growth in a single week.
PandaCodeGen ships the same scope traditional agencies quote at $15,000 to $40,000 at fixed prices from $1,500 (Starter) to $10,000 (Scale). The lower price is structural, not a discount. Co-founder-led delivery, no account managers, no NYC office rent, AI-accelerated development, and global engineering economics (Austin LLC for billing, Karachi for engineering). Quality stays the same. The savings flow to clients.
Customer-first, not profit-first
Free audit at pandacodegen.com requires no email, no Calendly, no sales pitch. Drop your URL, receive a real PageSpeed and revenue-leak analysis in minutes. A separate free 30-minute consultation call with co-founder Hassan Jamal is available for deeper review of competing agency quotes. We will tell you honestly if a competing quote is fair, or if migration does not make sense for your situation.

How Our WordPress to Next.js Migration Works
A proven 4-phase process, 2 to 4 weeks for most sites. No surprises. No downtime.
Full Site Audit
We analyze your WordPress site top to bottom: speed, security, plugins, SEO, and database health. You get a detailed report showing exactly what's costing you money.
Phase 1Data Export & Cleaning
We extract every page, post, image, and metadata from your WordPress database, then clean it. Plugin bloat removed. Broken links fixed. Images optimized.
Phase 2Custom Website Build
Your new site is built in Next.js with SSR, automatic image optimization, and a content editor. Every page loads in under 1 second.
Phase 3Migration & Launch
Every old URL maps to the new site with 301 redirects. Zero rankings lost. Zero downtime. We launch, monitor, and hand you the keys.
Phase 4The WordPress Reality Check
These are the invisible problems draining your bank account every single week.
Your Ad Spend Is Being Wasted
Google Ads factors landing page experience, including speed, into Quality Score, and a lower Quality Score generally means a higher cost per click than a faster competitor bidding on the same term. The size of that gap depends on your account, auction and competition. Every slow load is direct revenue loss.
One Update Crashes Your Revenue
WordPress sites run 20-30 plugins on average. A single bad update can take your site offline during a campaign launch, a sale, or Black Friday. Every minute of downtime is orders you'll never recover.
AI Search Sends Buyers to Competitors
ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews now answer 'which brand should I buy' directly. They only cite fast, clean-coded sites. WordPress page builder bloat makes you invisible to AI-driven traffic.
A Single Hack Can End Your Business
WordPress is the #1 target for automated attacks. A breach means days offline, legal liability, potential GDPR fines, and customers who never return. A custom static site has no database at all. Nothing to inject.
You're Bleeding $3,600 to $9,600/Year
Managed hosting, security plugins, premium theme licenses, maintenance retainers. It adds up silently. That's real margin leaving your business every single month with nothing to show for it.
Trapped: Can't Scale, Can't Sell
Your content lives inside a theme. Your traffic depends on plugins. Try to move platforms and you lose rankings, content, and data. Investors and acquirers discount WordPress-dependent businesses heavily.
What WordPress Owners Are Actually Saying
Not curated testimonials. Real Reddit threads from WordPress owners and Next.js community experts. Click the links to verify every quote.
For almost a decade I have been suffering from WordPressitis, experimenting with various plugins, themes and suspicious developers. Something works for a quarter or a year then disappears, other things get stripped down and are now offered as monthly subscriptions.
I either stumble on an agency charging me 100k for one site, or an UpWork specialist who swears his templates are the right ones, and he can get a complete website up and running for 1k.
Next absolutely can do just about anything you want. Yes, Next is an SEO powerhouse, but every single meta tag has to be provided and coded for almost every page or template.
I would highly recommend wpengine. As one of my clients began to grow rapidly, we had innumerable issues with godaddy hosting being able to scale up properly... there were an equal amount of issues when I moved the site to Amazon S3.
Stuck between $1K Upwork templates and $100K agency quotes? That is the gap we built PandaCodeGen for.
We migrate WordPress sites to custom Next.js for $1,500 to $10,000, with a 90+ Lighthouse handover target on mobile and desktop for the agreed representative pages, verified across three recorded runs before handover. No plugin subscriptions. No WPEngine bill. Full code ownership on day one.
See Migration Pricing →What If Your Website Was an Asset, Not a Liability?
A custom coded website loads in under 1 second, can't be hacked, costs $0 to start hosting, and you own every line of code. No plugins. No monthly fees. No surprises.
Clean Data Migration
We clean your WordPress database, remove bloat, and migrate to a modern backend. Migrated content is reconciled against a pre-migration inventory and the exceptions are reported.
Static Edge Rendering
Your site is pre-built as static HTML. It loads instantly worldwide and cannot be hacked. No server to attack.
SEO Preservation
We map every single old URL to the new site. You won't lose a single ounce of Google rankings or traffic.
Plugin Extinction List

Start with evidence. Put the agreement in writing.
Discovery is used to understand the current system, desired outcome, constraints, and dependencies. Scope, commercial terms, targets, support, ownership, and remedies become commitments only when they are stated in accepted written project terms. Those may be a concise quote or order summary accepted in email or chat, or a more detailed agreement for regulated or complex work.
Diagnostic first
We begin with the URL, stack, content, integrations, analytics, and operational constraints. Automated audit output is treated as an estimate to investigate, not proof of revenue loss or a guaranteed business result.
Evidence before outcomes
Performance measurements and project examples are point-in-time references. Any target used for your project should identify the tested pages, tool, date, device profile, run method, exclusions, and acceptance rule in the written scope.
Scope before certainty
The proposal records what is included, what is excluded, required client inputs, dependencies, and how changes are approved.
Targets need a method
If a performance or visibility target is included, its measurement conditions and any agreed response are documented with it.
Terms belong in the proposal
Payment milestones, support coverage, ownership, licenses, handover, and out-of-scope work are confirmed in writing.
What should be documented before work starts
Use the discovery conversation to gather evidence, then rely on the written proposal for commitments.
← Swipe to see more →
| Review area | During discovery | In the written proposal |
|---|---|---|
| Scope and exclusions | Inventory the current system, dependencies, and assumptions | List deliverables, exclusions, responsibilities, and change handling |
| Performance and acceptance | Record a dated baseline and identify client-controlled variables | Define the target, pages, tools, test conditions, and acceptance method |
| Commercial and handover terms | Discuss payment, support, ownership, access, and transition needs | State milestones, support coverage, licenses, handover, and remedies |
If a commercial term, target, or remedy is not in the written project terms accepted by both parties, this page should not be read as creating that commitment.
Scope and Commercial Review
Choose a planning path. Confirm the project in writing.
These options organize the discovery conversation; they are not quotes or delivery promises. Final scope, price, timing, acceptance tests, support, ownership, and remedies are stated in the accepted written project terms, which may be a concise quote or order summary or a more detailed agreement.
Before Discovery
Working assumptions
Features, integrations, content, migration risk, and dependencies still need review.
After Discovery
Written proposal
The approved scope records commitments, assumptions, exclusions, milestones, and acceptance.
Scope option
Starter
Requirements for this path are reviewed before any commercial or delivery commitment is made.
- Deliverables, exclusions, and required client inputs
- Dependencies, acceptance method, and change process
- Payment, support, ownership, licensing, and handover terms
Scope option
Growth
Requirements for this path are reviewed before any commercial or delivery commitment is made.
- Deliverables, exclusions, and required client inputs
- Dependencies, acceptance method, and change process
- Payment, support, ownership, licensing, and handover terms
Scope option
Scale
Requirements for this path are reviewed before any commercial or delivery commitment is made.
- Deliverables, exclusions, and required client inputs
- Dependencies, acceptance method, and change process
- Payment, support, ownership, licensing, and handover terms
Public examples do not replace a quote. Third-party fees, client dependencies, migration risk, and out-of-scope work are identified during discovery and documented in the proposal.
Larger scopes: Scale+ from $10,000, custom quoted after a scoping call.

Common Questions
Everything you need to know before migrating.
A 90+ handover target, measured before you sign off.
Every PandaCodeGen migration carries a 90+ Lighthouse handover target on mobile and desktop for the representative pages named in your written scope, verified across three recorded runs before handover. If we fail to deliver what that written scope promises, the accepted terms set out the refund trigger and cure process. This is a lab acceptance target, not a promise about rankings, revenue, or field Core Web Vitals after third-party changes.
