- $1,500–3,500 USD

- Not included; any production work is separately scoped.
Fit, inputs and responsibilities
Start elsewhere
Start with recovery for an active incident, a Technical Audit for a narrow root-cause question, Delivery for an approved scope or Govern for portfolio-level alignment.
What we need from you
Business outcomes, critical workflows, current architecture and integrations, content and data constraints, known evidence, stakeholders, budget boundaries, deadlines and preservation priorities.
What PathToProject does
Compares credible options, makes assumptions and limitations visible, identifies what should remain unchanged and prepares a phased implementation-ready sequence.
After you request a Modernization Roadmap, PathToProject reviews fit and evidence needs, then confirms scope and timing before paid work begins. You keep the vendor-neutral Roadmap and may use any qualified implementation partner; implementation is separately scoped.
What you receive
Executive decision memo
A business-readable recommendation with assumptions, confidence and decision boundaries.
Evidence and options
Current-state observations, meaningful alternatives, trade-offs, dependencies and reversibility.
Implementation-ready sequence
Now / Next / Later / Do not touch priorities, cost and effort bands, and a 30/60/90-day brief.
What should remain unchanged?
A useful Roadmap protects working content structures, page builders, integrations and editorial workflows when replacement would add cost and risk without enough business value.
Vendor-neutral handover
Use the Roadmap with an internal team, current agency, PathToProject or another qualified partner. Modernization Delivery remains an optional, separately scoped engagement.

Frequently asked questions
Will a Modernization Roadmap automatically recommend a rebuild?
No. It compares repair, modernization in place, selective migration, replatforming and rebuild against business value, risk, operating impact and reversibility.
Can we keep our current page builder or editorial workflow?
Yes, when evidence shows it remains fit for purpose. Preservation is a deliberate option, not a compromise.
Can another team use the Roadmap?
Yes. It is a vendor-neutral decision deliverable that an internal team, current agency, PathToProject or another qualified partner can use.
Free public WordPress assessment
Not sure which decision route fits your site?
Start with the free WordPress Scan. It reviews publicly observable WordPress, response, delivery, maintenance and search signals, then gives you a bounded modernization assessment and a clearer next step. No admin access is required.
The Scan does not confirm private technical root causes. If the report surfaces a signal that matters and you are unsure what to do next, ask us to help interpret the evidence.
