Adobe Muse to WordPress
Migration Services
Don't Let Adobe Muse's End-of-Life Leave Your Website Behind
Migration from Adobe Muse is Essential
Adobe Muse was officially discontinued in March 2020, leaving websites built with this platform without updates, security patches, or technical support.
The discontinuation of Muse presents several critical risks for your website:
- Security vulnerabilities that will never be patched
- Increasing compatibility issues with modern browsers
- No technical support when problems arise
- Limited functionality compared to current web platforms
- Possible legal or licensing issues arising from the fonts and images used in your site
- If your site uses a Muse widget from third-party, it may just stop working

Why Choose WordPress as Your New Platform
WordPress powers over 46% of all websites on the Internet, making it the most popular content management system worldwide.
WordPress offers a number of benefits over Adobe Muse:
- Long-term stability with regular updates and security patches
- A truly vast ecosystem of themes and plugins for unlimited customization
- So many features and functionality absent in Muse
- Superior SEO capabilities for better search engine visibility
- Responsive designs that work flawlessly on all devices
- User-friendly content management that makes updates easy for those wishing to manage their own site
- Extensive community for troubleshooting and guidance

Our Migration Process:
Seamless Transition Without Hassles
Don't like change? Don't worry, we've got you!
1. Muse Site Assessment
We will review your existing Muse site and site files, inventory the design elements and content that should be preserved in the new site, and make a set of recommendations for new features and functionality.
2. WordPress Site Development and Hosting
We build out a new WordPress website for you either based on your old Muse site, or a revised and updated design that preserves the best aspects of your Muse website while enhancing it with WordPress’s powerful capabilties.

We transfer all your text, images, videos, and other content to the new site. We can help you update these elements if you wish.

Please feel free to contact us.
Will my website design look exactly the same after migration from Adobe Muse to the new WordPress site?
We strive to maintain as much of the original site's appearance as possible. Of course, every migration is an opportunity to make improvements to the design and features of your site as well.
How long does the migration process typically take from Adobe Muse to WordPress?
Most Muse to WordPress migrations take 1-6 weeks from start to finish, depending on complexity and any adjustments you require. Custom functionality, or e-commerce features may extend this timeline. Small sites of a few pages can completed in as little as a few days to a week.
What happens to my SEO rankings when I migrate from Adobe Muse?
We make every effort to maintain those aspects of your site that are important to its search engine optimization. Nevertheless, search rankings and visibility are highly volatile. Migrating to WordPress may provide additional SEO opportunties and certainly greater flexibility in meeting any SEO challenges you may encounter.
Can I keep my current domain name when migrating from Adobe Muse?
Your domain name will remain registered with your current domain registrar (for example, GoDaddy, Namecheap, Network Solutions, etc.). In most cases it will not need to be moved to another registrar.
What do I need to learn to manage my website after migrating from Muse?
If you wish to update your website yourself, we can provide the training required to build the skills required. Alternatively, we provide content publishing services for many clients who wish to maintain their focus on other aspects of their business or organization.
What specific Muse features might be difficult to replicate in WordPress?
WordPress is a very robust content management system with a vast ecosystem of theme and plugin developers contributing all manner of solutions for website owners. We can quickly review your site and immediately let you know if anything may require additional effort. If so, we would walk you through the options and allow you to select a path forward most suitable to your needs and budget.
Will my forms, contact information, and customer data transfer over during migration?
We are able to duplicate your current forms and contact information on the new site. Generally, customer data is not stored in your Muse website.
Since my Muse site is still working, can I postpone migration, or are there immediate risks?
If you have a website that was built with Muse, it is likely the site has issues of which you may not be currently aware. Generally, you will be unable to update your Muse site without directly working with the code of the site as a developer might. The site may have multiple security vulnerabilities. Forms and other features may stop working without notice. Visitors may have unreported compatibility problems or be unable to access the site at all as time moves on. We have encountered situations where Muse sites contained fonts or images that were no longer properly licensed, thus leading to legal issues. If your site is important to you and your business or organization, it would be wise to migrate sooner rather than later.
