Your MotoCMS 3
site is on borrowed time.
I rebuild outdated MotoCMS 3 websites on MotoCMS 4 — modern, fast, mobile-first, and fully SEO-optimized. Trusted by businesses across Ireland, the United States, and Australia.
The Problem
Five quiet signs your MotoCMS 3 site is costing you customers.
MotoCMS 3 was a great platform a decade ago. Today, it's holding your business back — slowly, then suddenly.
/ 02
Falling rankings
Missing schema markup, weak metadata, and outdated mobile experience send your pages quietly down Google's results.
/ 03
Stale design
2014-era layouts immediately tell visitors your business hasn't kept up. Trust drops before they read a single word.
/ 04
Editor headaches
The MotoCMS 3 admin is being phased out. Updating content is harder every month, and support is shrinking.
/ 05
No real SEO foundation
Old MotoCMS 3 builds typically lack proper alt tags, breadcrumbs, sitemaps, and structured data. Search engines can't read you.
What I Do
Two services. Done properly.
I don't try to be everything to everyone. I focus on what I'm best at — and what most MotoCMS 3 site owners actually need.
MotoCMS 3 → 4 Migration
A full rebuild of your existing site on MotoCMS 4 — without losing rankings, content, or sleep.

Rebuilding an Irish business site on MotoCMS 4

How It Works
Four steps. No surprises.
Most MotoCMS 3 owners worry about losing traffic, rankings, or going offline during a rebuild. Here's exactly how I prevent all three.
Discovery
We audit your current site, map every page, and agree on goals, timeline, and what success looks like.
Build
I rebuild your site on MotoCMS 4 in a staging environment — your live site stays untouched and online.
SEO & Content
Every page gets fresh, keyword-targeted copy. Schema, metadata, and 301 redirects are mapped before launch.
Launch
After your final review, we switch the domain over. Zero downtime. No rankings lost. Modern site live.
About
A specialist, not a generalist.
I'm Ikram Fareed — a freelance web developer based in Pakistan, working with clients across Ireland, the United States, the UK, and Australia.
I've spent the last six-plus years focused on one platform deeply: MotoCMS. I've built, migrated, fixed, and optimized over a hundred MotoCMS sites across industries from plumbing and trades to vehicle hire, hospitality, and professional services.
MotoCMS 3 is being phased out. Every month, more sites on it slip in Google rankings, lose mobile customers, and become harder to maintain. My work is straightforward: get those sites onto MotoCMS 4, properly — with the design, content, and SEO they should have had years ago.
Common Questions
Before you reply, you're probably wondering.
Will my Google rankings drop during the migration?
No. Proper redirect mapping (301 redirects from every old URL to its new equivalent), preserved metadata, and matched URL structures keep your search rankings intact. I plan all of this before the migration begins, not after.
How long does a MotoCMS 3 to 4 migration take?
A standard small-to-medium business site takes 2–4 weeks from discovery to launch. Larger sites with extensive content, multiple location pages, or e-commerce typically take 4–6 weeks. You'll get a clear timeline before any work starts.
Will my website go offline during the rebuild?
No. The new MotoCMS 4 site is built on a staging URL while your current site stays fully live. We only switch the domain over once you've reviewed and approved every page. The actual cutover is typically under an hour, with zero customer-facing downtime.
Do you handle the content rewriting too?
Yes — and it's usually where the biggest wins come from. Most MotoCMS 3 sites have thin, outdated, or duplicated copy. I rewrite every page with proper SEO targeting, modern keyword research, and copy that actually converts visitors into enquiries.
What does it cost?
It depends on the size of your site, the number of pages, and how much content needs rewriting. After a short discovery call I'll send a fixed-fee proposal with everything itemised — no hourly billing, no surprises. Most small-business migrations fall in a clear, predictable range.
Why MotoCMS 4 and not WordPress?
If you already own a MotoCMS license, staying on the platform is faster, cheaper, and lower-risk than switching ecosystems entirely. MotoCMS 4 is genuinely modern — fast, mobile-first, AI-assisted, and SEO-friendly. If you'd genuinely benefit from WordPress instead, I'll tell you that honestly.
