Website Rebuild Proposal

Quinton
Anthony

From a legacy DNN4 platform to a WordPress site your team can actually manage.

01 — The Situation

A firm built on expertise.
A website stuck in 2006.

Quinton Anthony is an executive search and advisory firm. The brand is sharp. The website is built on DotNetNuke 4, a platform from the mid-2000s that your team cannot update without a specialist.

02 — Platform Reality

Why Migration Isn't an Option

We reviewed the existing site carefully. The problem is not the content, it is the architecture. DNN4 has no supported export path to WordPress. There is no migration tool. Every page must be rebuilt from scratch.

Legacy ASP.NET platform from the mid-2000s, no longer actively maintained

Supported migration paths from DNN4 to WordPress — it simply does not exist

Estimated effort to fully rebuild the site the right way
This is a technical limitation, not a preference. DNN4 cannot be cleanly migrated into WordPress.

02 — The Technical Reason

Why We Can't Migrate

This is not a preference — it is a technical constraint. Here is the full picture.

DNN4 Content ArchitectureRoot cause

DotNetNuke 4 stores content in a proprietary SQL structure tied to ASP.NET modules. WordPress uses a completely different content model. There is no automated bridge between the two systems. Any migration attempt would require custom development that costs more and takes longer than a clean rebuild.

No Export Tools ExistConfirmed

Every mainstream WordPress migration tool requires a WordPress or standard CMS source. None support DNN4 export. We checked. The only viable path is a complete rebuild with content manually re-created from the existing site.

The UpsideSilver lining

A rebuild means you are not inheriting a legacy layout. We fix the navigation, tighten the structure, and design something that actually reflects the quality of the firm.
