We are the Dato CMS to Wordpress migration experts

Despite its strengths, Dato CMS may pose issues, particularly for projects requiring extensive customisation or specific feature sets, as it might lack depth in certain areas compared to other CMS platforms. We've never been huge believers in "drag-and-drop" schema builders because they lack inherent validation and extensibility.

The pricing model, which scales with the required functionality and traffic usage, could be a limitation for startups or smaller businesses. Additionally, the learning curve associated with its API-driven environment might pose challenges to non-developers. Some users may also need additional plugins or custom development to fully meet their needs.

We're trying our hardest to think of good reasons to move to WordPress, but outside of "I like PHP errors" or trying to build a website for under £500, I honestly can't think of a good reason. If you're trying to do things on the cheap, we would highly recommend using a template from Framer or Webflow. They're better solutions in almost every way.

But if you're hell-bent on building a WordPress website, we can't stop you. For that reason, we'd highly recommend SiteGround for hosting to keep it cheap and optimize the hell out of it with their performance plugin. Avoid installing tons of plugins if you can; keep it lean and simple.
