Professional WPBakery to Elementor Migration Service

Why Migrate from WPBakery to Elementor?

Thinking about making the switch from WPBakery to Elementor? You’re not alone. Thousands of WordPress site owners convert WPBakery to Elementor every month – and for good reason.

WPBakery (formerly known as Visual Composer) has served the WordPress community well for years. But as web design standards evolve, many site owners find themselves needing more flexibility, a larger ecosystem, and an easier way to hand off sites to clients.

Why site owners migrate from WPBakery to Elementor

Here's why site owners switch from WPBakery to Elementor:

Full site editing

Design headers, footers, blog templates, and archive pages without touching code

More intuitive editing experience

Elementor's live frontend editor makes updates faster and easier for you and your clients

Massive ecosystem

Access 1,000+ add-ons, templates, and integrations that simply don't exist for WPBakery

Active development

Regular updates with new features, while WPBakery's development has slowed

Still using WPBakery?

Our WPBakery to Elementor migration service handles legacy sites too. Same process, same quality results.

Who We Help & the Problems We Fix

Our service is used by both beginners and industry experts. Our reputation and service quality is top notch!

1. Site Owners & Beginners

Is your site stuck on WPBakery and every change feels like defusing a bomb?

  • Slow pages: bloated code keeps visitors (and Google) waiting.
  • Steep learning curve: one mis-click in the page builder and everything shifts.
  • No time to tinker: you’d rather publish content than wrestle short-codes.

Our fix: We rebuild your site in Elementor so updates become drag-and-drop easy, pages load in a flash, and you keep full control without touching code.

2. Designers, Developers & Agencies

Still maintaining legacy client sites on a dated version of WPBakery page builder?

  • Inefficient workflows: extra CSS patches for every tweak.
  • Clients can’t self-edit: endless minor‐change requests land back on your desk.
  • Performance penalties: heavy themes hurt Core Web Vitals and SEO.

Our fix: We handle the full migration—templates, custom post types, forms – then hand back a lean Elementor build your clients can update easily, freeing you for higher-value work.

Why Elementor is better than WPBakery

Our WPBakery to Elementor Migration Process

Our professional WPBakery migration service follows a proven 3-step process designed to protect your content, preserve your SEO, and deliver a pixel-perfect result.

Audit your site for WPBakery to Elementor migration

Step 1: Complete Site Audit

Before we migrate WPBakery to Elementor, we inventory every page, post, custom post type, and plugin on your site. We document your current design, functionality, and SEO settings to create a detailed migration plan. Nothing gets missed.​

Rebuild your site with Elementor, migrating from WPBakery with zero downtime

Step 2: Pixel-Perfect Rebuild

Page by page, we rebuild your site using Elementor’s elements. Your design is recreated with precision – same look, same feel -but now with the flexibility of Elementor’s intuitive editor. We also handle your header, footer, and blog templates.

Test your site before publishing the migration from WPBakery to Elementor

Step 3: Testing & Launch

We thoroughly test every page across devices and browsers. Once you approve, we perform a seamless switchover with zero downtime. Your WPBakery to Elementor migration is complete, and you get 30 days of post-launch support.

What Happens to WPBakery Shortcodes?

One of the biggest concerns when you switch from WPBakery to Elementor is the dreaded shortcode mess. If you’ve ever deactivated WPBakery on a site, you’ve seen it – pages filled with ugly [vc_row] and [vc_column] tags instead of your content.

The good news: you don’t need to worry about cleaning up shortcodes.
That’s not how our WPBakery page builder migration works.

WPBakery to Elementor Migration process

Here's the actual process:

1. We build fresh pages in Elementor

Each page is recreated from scratch using Elementor's native widgets, matching your original design

2. Old WPBakery pages are deactivated

Once the new Elementor page is live, the old WPBakery version is unpublished and de-indexed

3. Same URLs, zero disruption

The new Elementor page takes over the same URL, so your visitors and Google see a seamless transition

4. WPBakery safely removed

After all pages are migrated, WPBakery is deactivated and deleted. No shortcode residue anywhere on your site

In short: We don’t “clean up” shortcodes – we replace the entire page with a clean Elementor build. The old WPBakery content simply stops existing.

Got Questions? We Have Answers!

Q: Can I still use the migration service if I am not using a theme developed by RockyThemes?

A: Sure thing. Even if you are not an existing client, or you are not using any of our available WordPress Themes ( Creativo or Nimva ), you can still take advantage of the migration service. We have clients migrating from Divi, Avada or Blocksy and we helped each and every one of them.

Q: How long does it take to migrate WPBakery to Elementor?

A: Timeline depends on your site’s size and complexity. A small site (up to 7 pages) typically takes 5-7 business days. Medium sites (up to 15 pages) take 7-10 days. Large sites with WooCommerce or complex functionality take 10-14 days. We’ll provide an accurate estimate after reviewing your specific site.

Q: Is it worth switching from WPBakery to Elementor?

A: It depends on your situation. If your WPBakery site works well and you’re comfortable with it, there’s no urgent need to switch. However, if you want easier client handoffs, access to Elementor’s massive ecosystem, or you’re planning a redesign anyway, migration makes sense. Many site owners replace WPBakery with Elementor for the more intuitive interface and larger developer community.

Q: Will my design look identical?

A: Yes—unless you’d like a facelift. We can recreate pixel for pixel or refresh outdated elements.

Q: Will there be any downtime for my site?

A: Absolutely NOT. Your site will not suffer any downtime, the entire content will be recreated without affecting your current content.

Q: What happens to my WPBakery shortcodes after the migration?

A: All WPBakery shortcodes are completely removed and replaced with native Elementor widgets. You won’t see any [vc_row] or [vc_column] tags. Once we’re done, you can safely deactivate WPBakery without breaking anything on your site.

Q: Do you migrate blog posts, products, and forms?

A: Absolutely. All content types, taxonomies, and WooCommerce products come across intact.

Q: How is the price calculated?

A: The price is calculated based on the number of pages, posts, products as well as the complexity of your site. Sites without a Shop area will cost less and the delivery time will be faster.

Q: Do you offer a WPBakery to Elementor migration service for WooCommerce stores?

A: Yes! Our Services package includes full WooCommerce migration. We rebuild your shop page, product templates, cart, checkout, and account pages using Elementor Pro’s WooCommerce Builder. Your products, orders, and customer data stay intact—we’re only changing the page builder, not your store’s content.
