See the price before you decide

Your quote comes from your own site’s size. You pay after you approve your preview, and your domain moves only after that.

A real person, by email

U.S.-based. Same-day email replies on weekdays at hello@embarkeasy.com. Want to talk it through on a call? Ask, and we'll set one up.

Easy move.

Start with your address. Your pages, posts, images and menus come across, and for most WordPress sites your design comes too.

Easy edit.

A clean editor for your pages and posts. No page-builder licence, no plugin renewals. With our hosting, the AI Helper drafts small edits for you to approve.

Easy hosting.

We handle the domain, the security certificate and the hosting. One bill. Or run it in your own Cloudflare account, or anywhere via the full export. No lock-in.

Early days

We're new.

So no testimonials yet. We'd rather show you your own site.

How it works

Four small steps. About a week.

No portal to learn. We email you when there's something to look at.

i.
Tell us your URL.

One field, one minute. No payment.

ii.
We make a copy.

Usually within two business days. Your live site stays untouched.

iii.
You look it over.

A preview link we send you, not listed in search engines. Tell us what’s off and we fix it free.

iv.
We switch your domain over.

Same address, faster site. We confirm it’s serving your new site before we call it done.

Pricing

One fee to move. Simple hosting after.

The preview is free. You pay the conversion fee only after you approve it.

Launch pricing, locked in for as long as you stay.

The conversion: one fee, whichever path you choose

Over 500 pages, or a store, or a WordPress membership or course site? A person scopes it with you instead of a published price.

Path B — we host it (recommended)

We recommend it: one bill, nothing to run yourself, and the AI Helper is included. Cancel any time from your billing page.

  • Hearth $5/month Price after launch: $12/month AI Helper allowance: $1.00 a month, about 60 questions
  • Hearth+ $12/month Price after launch: $29/month AI Helper allowance: $3.00 a month, about 190 questions
  • Studio $29/month Price after launch: $59/month AI Helper allowance: $7.00 a month, about 450 questions

Path A — your own Cloudflare account

The same site and editor in your own Cloudflare account, at the start or later. Cloudflare bills you directly, from $5 a month, and the AI Helper stays with our hosting.

No lock-in

Leave whenever you like: to your own Cloudflare account, or anywhere via the full export. The conversion fee is never charged twice.

The AI Helper

Every hosting plan includes the AI Helper in your site’s admin. It answers questions and drafts edits to your text, titles and search descriptions, and nothing goes live until you approve it. You can turn it off.

Honor-system discounts: before checkout, tick any that apply and take 10% off for each, up to 30% in all, on the conversion fee and on every month of a hosting plan. Nonprofit or charity; Teacher or student; Veteran or military; First responder or healthcare worker; Artist, musician or maker; Local business under 10 people; My site is over 10 years old; A friend sent me; There is a dog in the car. We record which boxes you ticked and nothing more.

Every path comes with 30 days of free fixes after your site goes live. After that, support is $50 per incident. A re-migration you ask for is $99. No annual contracts.

Common questions

Questions people ask.

If yours isn't here, email us at hello@embarkeasy.com.

Will my website address stay the same?

Yes. Your domain, the part visitors type in, doesn't change; we point it at the new site. The security certificate is issued and renewed automatically, and visitors see the same site, only faster.

How do you get my site's content?

You pick the way in: our small connector plugin, a WordPress export file you download yourself, a full backup zip, or your WordPress login in the chat. The plugin and the export file never need your password.

What happens if I don't like the preview?

Then you don't pay. If something looks wrong, we fix it. If we can't get it right for you, you walk away owing nothing.

Does the preview prove everything works?

No. It shows your pages as they will look. It can't test form sending, spam protection, file uploads, payments, scheduling, imported plugin settings or backups, so before the switch we go through the features you rely on together.

What doesn't come over?

Some plugin features have no replacement yet, and we don't promise every plugin feature or a particular saving. From WordPress, approved comments come over under their posts, in the free preview too unless the site came in through our connector plugin; pending and spam comments don't. Spam protection, Gravity Forms and WooCommerce stores aren't covered yet, and there are no automated backups, retention or one-click restore, so keep your own backup. Your design comes over automatically for most WordPress sites, not all. We tell you what's missing before you pay, and the plugin ledger has the detail.

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

We tell you before you pay. Some missing features have a workaround and some don't, and we'll say which.

What if I want a refund?

Before the switch, you get the whole fee back, no reason needed. After it, the fee isn't refundable, but we fix problems free for 30 days, and if we broke something we can't fix, we put your old site back and refund the fee. Refunds go back through Stripe to the card or account that paid. Read the refund policy.

Can I edit the site myself after the move?

Yes, on both paths. The new site runs on EmDash, which has its own admin: an editor for your pages, posts and images. With our hosting, the AI Helper sits in that admin too, and can propose small edits for you to approve.

Do I have to host with you?

No. We recommend it: one bill, nothing to run yourself, and the AI Helper is included. Your own Cloudflare account is a fine choice too. Path A puts your site, with its editor, in your own Cloudflare account, at the start or later. The editable site is larger than Cloudflare’s free plan allows, so it needs Cloudflare’s Workers Paid plan, $5 a month, billed by Cloudflare, plus any usage above what that plan includes; that depends on your traffic, so we don't promise a fixed hosting bill. The AI Helper comes with our hosting, so it is not part of a site on your own account, because its allowance is paid for through our hosting plan. Or take the site anywhere, via the full export. It is one download with a database snapshot, your uploads, your site settings, a WordPress export file, and a README for running it on a plain server. Moving from our hosting to your own account later costs nothing more: the conversion fee is never charged twice. The rates are above.

Why can't my site move before the fee is paid?

The conversion is the work we do. Once it is paid, the site is yours to take anywhere.

Why does the AI Helper have a monthly allowance?

Every answer costs real model time. The allowance keeps plans cheap for everyone and stops one site running up costs. Opening the Helper never spends allowance; only the questions you ask do. It runs on Cloudflare Workers AI.

Can I turn the AI Helper off?

Yes. Turn the Helper off at checkout or later in your admin. Then the Helper sends nothing from your site to a model. The price stays the same.

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

No. For 30 days after your site goes live we fix anything that is not working the way your preview did, free, on either path. A person answers email at hello@embarkeasy.com on weekdays. With our hosting, the AI Helper in your admin answers questions and drafts small changes, like a typo or a page title; nothing it proposes goes live until you approve it. It has a monthly allowance that comes with your plan, and you can turn it off.

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

Yes. We copy any public website — Substack, Ghost, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, or a site you built yourself — or work from your platform’s own export: your pages, posts and images come across into a site you own. Posts behind a paywall come from that export, because they are not public. Your design is carried over automatically for most WordPress sites; from other platforms your preview starts in a clean standard design, which you see before you pay anything. A paid newsletter comes over too: its paywalled posts from that export, and its subscriber list as a file you import. Moving your paying readers’ payments, or a store, gets a person: email us at hello@embarkeasy.com.

What about email? Do you handle that too?

We don't host email. If you use Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, that keeps working unchanged. If your email lives with your old web host, we'll help you move it to Google or Microsoft.

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

No. We're independent. We move you off WordPress entirely, onto Cloudflare's hosting network. The plugins we replace come from independent companies.

Where are you located?

Embark is a small US-based team. Your site runs on Cloudflare's network, with data centers in 300+ cities, so it's fast everywhere.
