WordPress.com + Kadence Specialist for Wix Migration and Advisory Firm Site Build (Fixed-Fee)

WordPress.com + Kadence Specialist for Wix Migration and Advisory Firm Site Build (Fixed-Fee)

Posted May 21, 2026

Design

Project overview

The Software Consulting Group (SCG) is an independent advisory firm based in Toronto.

We are migrating our website from Wix to WordPress.com Business and building a reusable template system that will support ongoing
publishing without developer dependency for routine content. This is a fixed-fee foundation build engagement (approximately 4 weeks of
specialist work) followed by an optional monthly retainer for ongoing technical support.

Stack constraints (non-negotiable)

WordPress.com Business plan only
Kadence theme with native block editor (no Elementor, Divi, or other page builders)
Rank Math Pro for SEO and schema
Gravity Forms or Fluent Forms (one only, specialist choice)
8-plugin maximum across the site
All premium plugin licenses owned by SCG, not specialist agency licenses

Scope

WordPress.com Business setup, configuration, and integrations
Kadence theme configuration to SCG brand standards
10 Synced Patterns (reusable section components for Quick Answer, Data Matrix, Sources and Context, Confidential CTA, and others)
7 page templates: Flagship Vendor Hub, Light Vendor Hub, High-Intent Issue Page, Service Page, Trust Page, Intelligence Paper, and Paid Landing Page (the landing page template is an optional add-on)
Home page within the foundation build
Wix-to-WordPress.com migration: URL inventory, redirect mapping
CSV implementation, DNS coordination, preservation of nine years of search history
Schema configuration via Rank Math (Organization, Person, Service, Article, FAQPage, BreadcrumbList)
Mobile responsive design and Core Web Vitals optimization
One sample populated reference page (Oracle Java flagship) built to demonstrate the system
Documentation package, recorded training session, and 30-day post-launch support

Required experience

Demonstrated WordPress.com Business builds (not WordPress.org self-hosted). Please share at least 2 to 3 examples
Kadence theme depth: configuration, global styles, header/footer builder, mobile defaults
Rank Math Pro schema configuration
Wix-to-WordPress.com migration with URL preservation and redirect discipline
Native block editor and Synced Patterns work
Mobile-first responsive design

Preferred

North American time zone for migration cutover coordination and post-launch urgent fixes
Senior advisory or B2B brand sensibility (no popups, no countdown timers, no SaaS gimmickry)
Comfort with fixed-fee quoting and milestone-based delivery

Engagement model

Fixed-fee quote for Phase 1 foundation build delivered across four milestones at 25 percent each. Optional monthly retainer for ongoing technical support and Phase 2 feature builds (estimated 2 to 5 hours per month included, with overflow billed hourly at an agreed rate).
