I am didn’t trust myself to do transfer my blog from Blogger to WordPress and knew that I needed some help. Thankfully there’s capable people out there who can do the job. For me it wasn’t worth the stress to try and figure it out on my own. I don’t regret for a minute having someone do it for me. It was a painless process.

I’ve made a list with designers that I have found online that do Blogger to WordPress transfers:

  • iDesign: This is my designer, Jessica, who did my transfer and my blog design. She is AMAZING and knows her stuff. She made the process so easy for me. I would hire her again in a heartbeat. She charges $150 for Blogger to WordPress Transfers.
  • Judith Shakes Designs: $100+ for Blogger to WordPress Transfers
  • The Blog Cafe: $60 for Blogger to WordPress Transfers As Is
  • Berries & Cream: $60 Blog Content Transfer, $60 Blog Design Transfer, $60 WordPress Installation
  • Creative Patience: $100 for Blogger to WordPress Migration
  • Japster: Packages start at $16 to $98
  • Wacky Jacqui’s Designs: $30 for the transfer and if you get it with a package, it’s only $20
  • Good, True & Beautiful: Free if you sign up with her for hosting.
  • Technology for Moms: Various packages available depending on what you need.
  • Blog Genie: $97 for the Basic Package.

Do you know of a designer who does Blogger to WordPress Transfers? If so, please share their links in the comments.

        Thanks! I know it might be a little bit of a plug (since I do work for ‘em) – I hope that’s OK. spacer

    Sharon @ Good, True, & Beautiful (www.goodtrueandbeautiful.com/tech/thinking-about-moving-to-wordpress/) does it for FREE if you sign up for hosting thru her affiliate. Her prices are very affordable, too ($115 for 24mos at Dreamhost). She also offers design services as well; my friend just had her blog designed by her & it’s great!

    Gina over at www.ginaskokopelli.com used a guy who charged her all of $25, I think? She gave me his contact info ages ago, but sadly, I don’t have it any longer. I’m sure she would give it to you, though!

    I’ve seen a lot about moving from Blogger to WordPress. Do you have a post going over why people are transferring? I have no experience with WordPress and am worried that I’m missing out on something..

      Melissa, there are lots of reasons. You can customize your blog more, it’s viewed as a more “professional” blogging platform by many, but most importantly (to me at least) you own your conent. You can nver be shut down in an instant like you can on Blogger.

      I’m making the move in a few months & cannot wait!

        Yes! My main reason was fear of Blogger who were randomly shutting down blogs this past Spring. I’ve got lots of reasons though and need to get my thoughts together for a post.

        Thanks Ladies.

        That is food for thought. I went with blogger because of google.. and it looked super easy. I guess I really didn’t do enough research into it.

      I prefer WordPress hands down and am planning a post in the next few days to give more detail on my thinking. Basically, I wanted to own my content and not have to worry about Blogger flagging my blog and closing me down. It is really really difficult to get help from Blogger. When you are self-hosted, you can call and talk to a person if there’s a problem. I love the plugins and it’s not as glitchy as Blogger was for me.

    Thanks for including me in your list! I appreciate that “shout out” and have enjoyed working with Bloggers to help them migrate to WP.

    I’m actually in the process of writing an e-book to help people do the transfer themselves without having to pay anyone. I’m going to need a few folks who will take my book for a “test drive” so if anyone is interested in that, let me know!

      I’m very new to blogging, but I have high hopes of learning and growing. I’ve heard many people say they wish they had switched to wordpress earlier on in their blogging journey. I would very much be interested in reading/experimenting with your e-book. kekagel(at)yahoo.com

      Stacie, looking forward to reading the post about your move.

      Hi,

      I have been blogging since Sept 2009. I have toyed with the idea of moving to WordPress, but haven’t done anything about it as of yet.

      I would be very interested in testing your e-book, Sharon.

    Thanks for the great list! I am in the process of shopping for someone to move me over to WP. The decision can be a tough one to make and a little overwhelming with some many people out there. I did notice that Idesign has gone up on their pricing and is now charging $195, yikes!
