When an online store outgrows its current platform, business owners start looking for a way out of 1C-Bitrix. The NextDoorCoders team handles the full move away from 1C-Bitrix. Our approach covers a detailed audit, data migration, SEO setup, and a check of every business process before launch.
Why companies move from 1C-Bitrix to WordPress
The decision to switch away from 1C-Bitrix usually comes from hands-on experience running the site. The most common reasons:- the high cost of licenses and yearly platform support renewal;
- limited template flexibility and difficulty customizing non-standard business processes;
- a narrow pool of specialists who work with Bitrix;
- slower page load speed compared to other solutions;
- more complex integration with tags and analytics tools;
- page load speed and existing technical issues.
