Phase 0: Migration Plan (Try Before You Commit)

You do not need to migrate your production website immediately. Using our Free Tier, you can export a sample of up to 4 posts to test the platform.

By completing the initial Cloudflare Pages setup (Phase 2), your staging site will be automatically deployed to a free .pages.dev development domain (e.g., your-site.pages.dev). This gives you a perfect, risk-free pre-production environment to preview your new fast static site exactly as it will look, before you confirm the final migration and point your real domain to it.

Phase 1: Securing Your Code

Your migrated website is now a folder of code. The first critical step is to back it up securely in the cloud. 👉 Creating a Private GitHub Repository

Phase 2: Going Live Globally (For Free)

Once your code is in GitHub, you can connect it to Cloudflare Pages. This provides enterprise-grade hosting with unlimited bandwidth at zero cost. 👉 Deploying to Cloudflare Pages

Phase 3: Attaching Your Brand

With your site live on a temporary .pages.dev URL, it’s time to connect your professional .com domain. 👉 Configuring a Custom Domain

Phase 4: Managing Content

You don’t need to know how to code to write new articles. Set up a free, Git-based CMS that looks and feels like the WordPress editor you’re used to. 👉 Setting Up Sveltia CMS
