IN SHORT

In short

UreTech is a Joomla partner and looks after existing Joomla sites: audits, upgrades, security, managed hosting and, when it makes sense, migration to WordPress. Joomla 3 has had no updates since August 2023 and Joomla 4 reached end of life on 14 October 2025, so a site stuck on those versions needs upgrading or migrating. You get a quote after a free audit.

A real example is Trespolo Villas, holiday villas on Lake Garda running Joomla: we audited the site, moved it to managed infrastructure with backups every 6 hours and made its pages indexable again.

Why a Joomla site becomes a problem

Usually it is not Joomla itself, it is that nobody looks after it.

Unsupported version

Joomla 3 and 4 no longer get security fixes. Old extensions and templates block the upgrade.

Old supplier accounts

Admin accounts never closed, shared passwords, no record of who has access.

Untested backups

There is a backup on paper, but nobody has ever checked it can be restored.

Pages gone from Google

One wrong setting (noindex, robots, redirects) can remove a site from search results for months without anyone noticing.

YOUR JOOMLA SITE

Where does your site sit on the timeline?

Pick the version and answer three questions. You see straight away whether the site is out of support and which route makes sense: secure it, upgrade it or move it to WordPress.

  1. Joomla 3No updates since August 2023
  2. Joomla 4Out of support since 14 October 2025
  3. Joomla 5 and 6Supported versions

Your Joomla site

  • Best fit

    Secure it now

    Old accounts removed, passwords and authentication renewed, unused extensions removed, file permissions fixed, backup tested.

    First step, before anything else

  • Best fit

    Upgrade to Joomla 5 or 6

    Makes sense if the site works, extensions are still maintained and whoever updates it knows it well. On a test copy first.

    Compatible or replacement extensions, adapted template

  • Best fit

    Move to WordPress

    Worth it with abandoned extensions, a template that needs redoing anyway, or if you want more choice of plugins and developers.

    Articles, images, metadata and 301 redirects

    Open the page →

Pick the version: the marker moves along the timeline.

    We never touch the live site without a test copy. It always starts with the free audit.

    What we do

    Start with the audit and decide afterwards.

    Technical and SEO audit

    Version, extensions, template, accounts, backups, server, indexing and speed. You get a report with priorities.

    Upgrade to Joomla 5 or 6

    First on a staging copy: compatible or replacement extensions, adapted template, then go-live.

    Security clean-up

    Accounts cleaned up, passwords and authentication renewed, unused extensions removed, file permissions fixed.

    Managed hosting

    Servers in Europe with verified automatic backups, monitoring and PHP updates.

    Migration to WordPress

    Articles, categories, images and metadata moved to WordPress, with 301 redirects for every URL that changes.

    Redesign

    If you also need a new look, we redesign layout and copy while keeping your rankings.

    Upgrade Joomla or migrate to WordPress?

    Staying on Joomla makes sense if the site works, uses extensions that are still maintained and whoever updates it knows it well. Moving to WordPress pays off when extensions are abandoned, the template needs rebuilding anyway, or you want a wider choice of plugins and developers.

    A proper migration always follows these steps:

    1. Full backup and a staging copy of the Joomla site.
    2. Import of articles, categories, images and metadata into WordPress.
    3. Rebuilding modules and features with plugins or custom code.
    4. A URL map and 301 redirects for every page whose address changes.
    5. Search Console checks in the weeks after the switch.

    Typical timeline: 2-4 weeks for a content site, longer with client areas or e-commerce.

    Joomla FAQ

    No. Joomla 3 has had no security fixes since August 2023 and Joomla 4 since 14 October 2025. Supported versions are Joomla 5 and 6.
    It depends on the starting version, extensions and template. After the free audit you get a price for the upgrade and, side by side, one for a WordPress migration.
    Not if the migration keeps the content and sets 301 redirects for every changed URL. We check Search Console after the switch.
    Yes, it is the most common case. We need access to hosting and domain; we close accounts that are no longer needed and document everything.
    Yes. UreTech is a Joomla partner. We follow Joomla releases and its support calendar, and we mostly handle support, upgrades to Joomla 5 and 6 and migration to WordPress when it makes sense.
    For new projects we usually suggest WordPress or a custom build. On Joomla we mostly do support, upgrades and migration.
