Embark Est. 2026 · A two-person shop
For nonprofits & main-street businesses

A trusted way out of WordPress.

We move your website to faster, safer hosting and replace the plugins you've been renewing every year. One fixed price. No contract. You see the new site working before you pay anything.

No card needed. The preview link stays open for thirty days while you decide.
30-day money back

If we can't move your site cleanly, we don't keep your money. Refund by check or transfer, your choice.

No contract. No auto-renewal.

One flat fee for the move. Hosting is month-to-month or yearly, whichever you prefer. Cancel anytime, take your files with you.

A real person on the phone

U.S.-based support. Same-day email replies, weekdays. Phone by appointment — we'd rather be useful than fast.

An honest note

We're early. We don't make up testimonials.

Embark is a small two-person shop migrating its first paying customers right now. When the people we've moved say yes to having their name on this page, that's where their words will go — not before. If you'd like to be one of them, the line forms below.

How it works

Four small steps. About a week.

No "onboarding call." No project manager. No portal. We just do the work, and we tell you when there's something to look at.

i.
Tell us your URL.

One field, one button. Takes a minute. No payment, no commitment.

ii.
We make a copy.

Quietly, in the background. Your live site is untouched the whole time. Usually two business days.

iii.
You look it over.

Private preview link. Click around. Send your list. We fix anything off — no extra charge.

iv.
We flip the switch.

Same domain. Faster site. No outage. We watch the change for 48 hours so you don't have to.

What we move for you

For every plugin, a replacement.

When we move your site, the WordPress plugins you've been renewing get swapped for built-in equivalents. Same fields, same checks, no annual fee, no plugin update breaking the site at 11 p.m. on a Thursday.

Common questions

Questions our customers actually ask.

If yours isn't here, call us — the number's in the footer.

Will my website address stay the same?

Yes. Your domain — the part visitors type in — doesn't change. We point it at our servers instead of WordPress's. From the visitor's side, everything looks the same except it loads faster.

What happens if I don't like the preview?

Then you don't pay. The preview is built before any money changes hands. If something looks wrong, we fix it. If we can't fix it to your satisfaction, you walk away owing nothing.

Can I edit the site myself after the move?

Yes. You get a clean editor that works the same way most of WordPress's "Block Editor" does — pages, posts, images, links. The technical underpinnings are different, but the edit-buttons aren't.

What if I have a plugin you don't replace yet?

We'll tell you on the first call — before you pay. For most missing plugins, we keep a small WordPress shim running just for that feature. For others, we offer a workaround. If neither works for your case, we'll say so honestly.

Are you affiliated with WordPress, Automattic, or any of the plugin makers?

No. We're independent. We're not selling you a WordPress upgrade — we're moving you off the WordPress platform entirely, onto Cloudflare's hosting network. The plugins we replace are independent products from independent companies.

Where are you located?

Embark is a small US-based team. The hosting runs on Cloudflare's global network, which has data centers in 300+ cities, so your site is fast everywhere — not just where we are.

What about email? Do you handle that too?

Email is separate from your website — we don't host it. If you currently use Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 for your "@yourorganization.org" email, that keeps working unchanged. If your email is hosted by your old web host, we'll help you move it to Google or Microsoft as part of the transition.

I'm not on WordPress. Can you still help?

Yes — we also move Drupal and Joomla sites. Same process, same price. Just enter your URL and we'll figure out what you're running. The plugin-replacement directory above is WordPress-focused because that's where most of the requests come from, but Drupal modules and Joomla extensions get the same treatment in the move.

What happens after the site is live? Am I on my own?

No. Every site we move comes with a built-in helper inside your admin — a calm, plain-spoken assistant that's always there. It can fix a typo, suggest an SEO improvement, schedule a backup, run an accessibility check, or hand you off to a person if it can't help. It runs on cheap, fast models, so it's available even on the lowest tier. Nothing it changes is final until you click "apply", and every change keeps a "why" log.

Do I have to host with you?

No — the default we recommend is the opposite. Most customers pay our one-time conversion fee and we deploy the site onto their own free or $5/month Cloudflare account. They pay Cloudflare directly and never get a bill from us again. We also offer a hosted option with transparent pricing if you'd rather not deal with infrastructure, but the cheaper path is yours to take.
