The existing site is typically abandoned or underused because of the learning curve associated with using those tools, and the cost of having someone do it for you. A big part of my business is empowering businesses to manage their own sites easily.<\/p>\n<p>WordPress is beautiful for a few reasons, but chief among them is the ease with which I can migrate the site, and the low learning curve associated with using the system for a new user. If a user can write an email, I am confident that I can teach them how to post with WordPress in about 15 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Only one issue remains. Very often the existing site is on a host that is not set up properly for hosting WordPress. It needs a very basic set of cooperative standards-based technologies, called the <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"LAMP (software bundle)\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/LAMP_%28software_bundle%29\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia noopener noreferrer\">LAMP stack<\/a> (Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP).
