An exit from WordPress, not a redesign
Your existing WordPress site is converted into a static website — same content, same design, same URLs — with no database, no PHP, and no plugins. The result is a site that requires nothing from you.
No more dreading the update notifications. No more wondering if a plugin broke something. No more worrying about security.
This service is also available as a general platform conversion for sites on other systems.

Plain English
What "static" means compared to WordPress
WordPress generates every page on the fly — PHP code runs, queries a MySQL database, assembles the HTML, and sends it to the browser. That's why it needs updates, security patches, and a hosting environment. A static site skips all of that.
- Pages are pre-built HTML files — no generation, no processing
- There is no database, no PHP, and no WordPress admin panel
- Hosting is free or nearly free because the server just serves files
- There are no plugins because there is no application to extend
- There is nothing to hack because there is no software running

Is This Right for You?
Good fit vs. not a fit
This is a good fit if
- Your WordPress site is mostly informational pages
- You dread logging in to run updates
- You've been hacked or worry about being hacked
- Your hosting costs feel high for what you get
- You have plugins installed that you don't understand or use
This is not a fit if
- You run WooCommerce with an active product catalog
- You publish content daily and need a full CMS workflow
- You rely on user registration or membership features
- Your site has complex custom plugins with server-side logic
- You need real-time dynamic functionality
Optional
Available add-ons
These are optional. The core conversion is complete without them.
- Contact form replacement (Formspree, Netlify Forms, or equivalent)
- Simple CMS setup for self-service edits (Decap CMS — open-source, no database)
- Analytics setup (privacy-respecting, no cookies required)
- Custom domain email configuration
- Post-launch content update (one round, within 30 days)
Ownership
Your site, without the baggage
After conversion, you receive every file. Standard HTML and CSS — no proprietary format, no database export, no WordPress dependency. Everything is yours.
You are not tied to a hosting provider. You are not tied to WordPress. You are not tied to us. If you want to move your site, change hosts, or hire a different developer, you can — immediately, without migrating a database or worrying about plugin compatibility.
WordPress made your site depend on an entire software stack. After conversion, your site depends on nothing.
Why This Service
Why Mythic Works offers WordPress conversions
Mythic Works is a software consultancy. Most of our work involves complex systems — infrastructure, integrations, internal tools. This service exists because we kept seeing the same pattern.
Small businesses running WordPress sites they set up years ago. Paying for managed hosting. Ignoring update notifications. Getting hacked, or living in fear of it. All for a site that's five pages and hasn't changed since it was built.
WordPress is powerful software. But for a site that rarely changes, it's overhead — overhead that costs money, creates risk, and occupies mental space. Converting to static removes all of that.
Process
How it works
Assessment
We review your WordPress site to confirm it's a good candidate — pages, plugins, themes, and hosting setup.
Conversion
Your site is rebuilt as clean, static HTML and CSS. Same content, same design, same URLs. No WordPress required.
Deployment
The static site is deployed to free hosting and your domain is pointed to the new site.
Handoff
You receive all source files. Your WordPress hosting is yours to cancel.
FAQ
Common questions about leaving WordPress
What happens to my WordPress plugins after conversion?
Plugins are eliminated entirely. The functionality your site actually uses — contact forms, SEO tags, analytics — is replaced with lightweight, maintenance-free alternatives. Features you don't use simply disappear along with the security risk they carried.
How do I edit the site without WordPress?
You can edit the HTML files directly, use a simple open-source CMS like Decap CMS, or hire any web developer to make changes. There is no WordPress login, no admin panel, and no database — just files you can open and edit.
Will my SEO and URLs be preserved?
Yes. URL structures are matched exactly, including any custom permalink patterns. Redirects are configured for any paths that must change. Meta tags, structured data, and sitemap are all included. Your search rankings should not be affected.
Is a static site more secure than WordPress?
Yes. WordPress is a frequent target for attacks because it runs PHP, a database, and third-party plugins — all of which can have vulnerabilities. A static site has no application layer, no database, and no login page. There is nothing to exploit.
Do I own the converted website?
Yes. You receive all source files and own everything completely. There is no license, no lock-in, and no dependency on Mythic Works after delivery. Any developer can work with the files.
How long does the conversion take?
Most WordPress conversions are completed within one to two weeks, depending on the number of pages and complexity. You'll see a working preview before anything goes live.
What about my WordPress blog posts?
Existing blog posts are converted to static pages and preserved at their current URLs. If you publish frequently and need a full editorial workflow, this service may not be the right fit. For sites with a small archive that's no longer actively updated, the posts convert cleanly.
