Traffic and impressions down
Also Mike, you may want to have a look a Ahrefs.com. I have just checked it and there are alot more backlinks showing up you need to look at. If you google for a coupon, you can get it half price, or just get a refund within 7 days. It can be useful for these sort of situations, even though Moz does alot more analytics etc.

Switching over to wordpress
Mike I think this is what you are looking for: https://moz.com/community/q/html-extension - also a recent question from the Q&A. I think Dana's link explains how to maintain the .html in WordPress and that debate was more about if 301's pass PR etc. Whereas if you've decided you already want to redirect, that tells you how.

Same UI, different domain
It takes so much work to make domain / web pages rankable that many don't have enough time or energy to spend doing it for two domains so you might as well put your efforts into your money domain. As far as "dominating the front page of Google" for your branded keywords, what do you get out of that that you don't get by keeping the domain on your domain? One additional listing? You could get that and more just by working your social media profiles and or an inexpensive adwords campaign.

Please point me in the right direction.
Mike.... You have rocket fuel that is not being used. A source of power that is very easy-to-get. Your site has a collection of .pdf documents in the "Handouts" section. Do the following to everyone of them. Open the documents and add a link to your website in the footer of the document or make the name of your organization in the header a live link. Right now, all linkjuice that goes into these documents dies and is not being passed into your website. I might also add a link to a relevant category page of your website or a relevant blog post or relevant article. These pdfs probably have natural links from other sites. Get the power of those links into your main site. These links will enable visitors to click to your site for more info and perhaps a conversion. While you have these documents open modify the "properties". Add a title and description. These will appear in the SERPs as title tags and turn your pdfs into competitive pages in the SERPs. After doing this I would "lock" the pdfs. On the "Media" page, these documents open into small windows which are separate URLs on your website. If these pages had some text content and title tag they might compete in the SERPs. They might also attract some links. As above these pages should each have one or more links back to your website to pass power and deliver traffic. Be careful that these media pages do not become "thin" content or "duplicate" content. If you can give them some unique beef they should perform well for you. We have a website with rankings that are almost totally supported by popular pdf documents and pages that support them. You can do this too. Good luck.
