last night I did a site migration in 4 hours in an emergency situation entirely powered by Claude Code.
Here’s what was cool about it:
• used wget to get all files into my local computer.
◦ It was a wordpress site that was being held hostage.
◦ The company had used a * {display: none;} on every page to hurt the website.
◦ I was not goingto be able to log into anything that could get me a real backup / database backup.
• I updated all links to new domain.
• I replaced gravity forms from wordpress to FormSpree forms with same questions.
• I set up DNS in Namecheap + created email forwarders.
• I pushed content from wget to github
• I swapped out the Google analytics tracker.
• I verified property in GSC
• I created a new sitemap
• I updated robots.txt
• I published it as a github pages site.
I did all that on a Friday night with Claude Code while watching a movie.
I was pretty impressed that it was that easy inside Claude Code. Learn how to build with us:
