WordPress Scan
An automated public-site check that explains visible signals and recommends a next route.
WordPress Modernization
Understand what your WordPress platform needs—and choose the right next step.
WordPress Modernization is a specialized WordPress service line delivered by PathToProject. We audit, plan, modernize, migrate, integrate and improve business-critical WordPress platforms.
What do you need now?
Different questions require different services. Start with the smallest layer that can resolve the uncertainty.
Diagnosis
Technical Audit
Find out what is technically wrong, why it matters and what can be remediated.
Decision support
Decision Roadmap
Turn evidence and business constraints into priorities, options and an implementation-ready sequence.
Capability layer
Modernization Engineering
A capability layer used within scoped Technical Audit or Modernization Delivery—not a separately priced package.
Implementation
Modernization Delivery
Implement an agreed outcome in controlled phases with explicit scope, acceptance criteria and handover.
Recurring care
Maintenance & Support
Keep an accepted WordPress baseline stable and current through controlled recurring work, reporting and clear escalation boundaries.
Decision Roadmap routes
Choose by decision complexity—not company size. Prices use United States dollars (USD).
Decision Roadmap prices only; Technical Audit and implementation are scoped separately. Timings are typical after fit review and scope confirmation. Govern receives a fixed quote after a short scoping call.
Budget orientation by service layer
These are starting signals, not one bundled journey. Compare all layers on the Pricing page.

Recurring responsibility
Recurring care begins after a stable baseline is accepted.
What are you dealing with?
Choose by the problem or buying situation—not by a generic company-size label.
Site unstable after an update
Recover agreed critical workflows and establish a safer baseline without assuming the update is already the proven root cause.
Page-builder constraints
Keep, stabilize, refactor or selectively migrate the builder your team already knows.
WooCommerce store constraints
Stabilize or modernize checkout, payments, subscriptions, integrations, performance and store operations.
Migration or replatforming
Move into WordPress, across WordPress or from WordPress when another platform is the better fit.
Legacy WordPress platform
Modernize in phases while protecting the components and workflows that still work.
Multisite or portfolio governance
Align architecture, ownership, migration waves and operating rules before implementation.
Ongoing WordPress care
Use controlled updates, compatibility checks, critical-workflow verification and reporting after a stable baseline is accepted.
Forms or booking are unreliable
Trace missing enquiries, broken availability, notification gaps and third-party booking failures across the full workflow.
Analytics cannot be trusted
Repair measurement plans, conversion events, tag governance and validation before decisions depend on unreliable data.
Hosting or deployment is fragile
Modernize an outdated runtime, environments, backups and release path without forcing an unnecessary website rebuild.
Local service business
Improve booking, enquiries, service pages, tracking and editing without asking the owner to become a technical project manager.
Inherited agency project
Reduce uncertainty before a fixed quote, takeover or Request for Proposal.
Not sure which route fits?
The Modernization Self-Check uses your answers. The WordPress Scan and Accessibility Readiness Check inspect different public evidence scopes. None confirms a private technical root cause.
Interactive routing tool
Start from what you know
Answer seven plain-language questions about impact, evidence, decision clarity and readiness. Get an immediate suggested route without sharing contact details.
Automated public assessment
Start from public website evidence
Run the free WordPress Scan when you want the website itself checked for publicly observable platform, response, delivery, maintenance and search signals.
Specialized free tool
Check accessibility readiness
Use a specialized public first look when accessibility and related usability signals are the immediate concern.

Sample Deliverables Library
Review the structure and boundaries of a Scan result, Technical Audit finding, Decision Roadmap, delivery handover, migration plan and maintenance report.
Website Access Readiness Checklist
Prepare owners, named accounts, least-privilege roles, staging, backups and revocation before private access is requested.
Case Studies
Explore published projects to see the modernization challenges addressed, the changes delivered and the experience relevant to your decision.
Different questions need different evidence
| Layer | Question | Typical output |
|---|---|---|
| WordPress Scan | What does the public website reveal? | Observed evidence, bounded assessment and a next route |
| Technical Audit | What is technically wrong and why? | Findings, likely root causes, risk and remediation backlog |
| Decision Roadmap | What should the business do, defer or preserve? | Options, trade-offs and a sequenced implementation brief |
| Engineering | Which technical capabilities may be required? | A capability map supporting Audit and Delivery |
| Delivery | How will the agreed outcome be implemented? | Phased change, validation, documentation and handover |
| Maintenance & Support | How do we keep the accepted baseline stable and current? | A recurring cycle, checks, reporting and bounded improvements |
Modernization does not automatically mean replacement
Preserve what still works
A suitable editor, page builder, content model or integration is an asset. We modernize around it when it remains fit for purpose.
Modernize with evidence
Stabilize, optimize and refactor before selecting expensive migration or rebuild scope without evidence.
Separate modernization from migration
Modernization improves what you have. Migration safely moves or replaces what can no longer remain.
Who we work with
Mid-market teams
Marketing, Digital and Operations leaders responsible for a business-critical WordPress platform and a material modernization decision.
Digital and WordPress agencies

Experience with complex delivery
Review the project context, delivered work and recommendations before deciding which experience is relevant to your needs.

Frequently asked questions
Which WordPress modernization service should I start with?
Start with the free WordPress Scan when you want an automated public-data assessment and a next route. Choose a Technical Audit when the technical cause is unclear, a Decision Roadmap when the business path is unclear, and Modernization Delivery when the outcome and acceptance boundary are already clear.
Is WordPress Modernization a separate company?
No. WordPress Modernization is a specialized WordPress service line delivered by PathToProject (opens in a new tab).
Can our internal team or current agency implement the recommendation?
Yes. The client keeps the Decision Roadmap and may use an internal team, current agency, PathToProject or another qualified delivery partner.
