Content Migration & cost of moving pages

[SEOSponge]

Hope you are all having a great day! I am wondering if anyone would be able to provide general feedback.  I work for a medium size company in Chicago.

Currently our site is static html and we are seeking to migrate to Wordpress.  After speaking with a number of website companies and receiving proposals, I am trying to understand if there is an approximate going rate or range for moving content from static html to a CMS like Wordpress? i.e. a cost per page?

We don't have any dynamic content.  Most of our pages are text and images.

The site itself, including the blog is around 220 pages.

Thanks in advance for any insight or resources!

How many static pages do you have excluding the blog? (and by static on also mean VERY different one to another).

There are several services that migrate HTML sites to wordpress and their prices depend on the site size. You only need to consider the static pages (that have completely different design) and the basic blog pages (blog listing, author, archive and the single post pages). Once you have the exact amount of pages you need you can ask for quotes on those sites specialized on doing this kind of work.

In my experience this is going to wildly vary. I've seen things all over the map. There's a lot of variables like if there's any custom design involved, who is going to handle the redirects etc with more attention to detail. So unfortunately I do not know of any standard cost per page etc.

I would honestly choose the company based upon prior work record - get some references and/or example work. I do find that many times the more expensive option is the "cheapest" in the long run cause they'll do it right the first time, but vet that by talking to some past customers.
