The team that invented professional web migration.

In 2010, when a business needed to move from Joomla to WordPress, Drupal to WordPress, or vBulletin to XenForo, there was no one to call. Migration meant hiring a freelancer who would spend weeks writing brittle one-off SQL scripts, or it meant giving up and starting from scratch. We saw that gap and filled it — permanently. Our founders, a team of CMS engineers inside gVectors LLC, built the globalConverter (gConverter) Smart Converting System: a proprietary framework capable of mapping data structures between any two CMS or forum platforms on earth. Within its first year, gConverter supported over 4,000 from/to combinations — a number that has since grown to over 67,600. No other migration service on the planet has ever come close.

We didn't just enter an existing market — we created the entire category of professional, full-service web migration. Before gConverter, "migration service" wasn't a thing. Today, dozens of companies and resellers offer migration services, but behind the scenes, a remarkable number of them quietly delegate the actual work to us. They know what their customers will discover eventually: nobody does it better, faster, or more reliably than gConverter.

The migration industry is flooded with automated SaaS tools that promise one-click migrations and deliver broken results — scrambled formatting, lost images, missing users, mangled URLs. We took a fundamentally different path from day one. Every gConverter migration is handled by trained human engineers who understand the source platform, the target platform, and the thousands of edge cases that fall between them. Our team includes hundreds of CMS and forum specialists — each trained first in data security and privacy, then in their platform expertise. When we migrate your site, a real person reads your database schema, maps every custom field, verifies every attachment, and tests every URL. That's not scalable the way a SaaS tool is. And that's exactly why it works.

We are the only migration company that delivers pixel-perfect theme conversion — not just your data, but your design, your layout, your brand identity, recreated identically on the new platform. When a customer at Customer Lobby wrote "My site looks identical to what it was before, which is exactly what I wanted" — that's not an accident. That's our standard.

gConverter sits at the crossroads of the web platform ecosystem. We are the bridge between WordPress and Joomla, between phpBB and XenForo, between Drupal and Shopify, between Discourse and wpForo — between any two points on the map of content management. Over 15 years, we have completed more than 4,200+ migrations across 260+ platforms. No migration is too obscure, too legacy, or too complex. We've migrated DotNetNuke sites that no other company would touch. We've merged dual-generation Invision private message archives. We've converted flat-file YaBB forums into modern MySQL-backed platforms. We've handled Nabble exports with no standard format, Khoros communities locked behind enterprise APIs, and ColdFusion CMS installations running on servers that hadn't been updated since 2009.

Today, a large portion of the migration work happening across the web — whether branded under another company's name or offered by a hosting provider's "free migration" package — ultimately passes through the hands of gConverter engineers. Resellers trust us because our quality is unmatched and our pricing is wholesale-competitive. When the work reaches us, it gets done right the first time.

Over 15 years, we've watched dozens of migration companies launch, undercut on price, deliver broken work, and close within a year or two. The pattern is always the same: they automate what shouldn't be automated, they cut corners on quality assurance, they can't handle the edge cases that make up 40% of real-world migrations, and when a customer's site goes down at midnight, there's no one on the other end of the email. Our all verified reviews on Customer Lobby — with a perfect 5-star average across Service, Recommendation, and Total Experience — aren't the result of a marketing campaign. They're the result of fifteen years of never cutting a corner.

We've survived because we solved the hardest problems, charged fairly for the value we delivered, and treated every customer's community like it was our own. Automated tools will always be cheaper, but they'll also always produce the same 80%-correct output that forces your team to spend days cleaning up what the robot broke. Our customers don't have that problem. Their migrations are done. Completely. The first time.

gConverter has always been one of the central projects of gVectors LLC, a US-based company incorporated in Wyoming. Over the years, gVectors built some of the most respected tools in the WordPress ecosystem — including wpForo, the AI-powered forum plugin trusted by thousands of communities worldwide. As both gConverter and wpForo grew, the decision was made to establish the gConverter Team as a dedicated division with its own leadership, processes, and engineering staff — separate from the gVectors plugin development team, but under the same company umbrella. This means gConverter customers benefit from the institutional knowledge of a company that builds the platforms we migrate to, while getting the focused attention of a team that does nothing but migration, all day, every day.

Our engineers are trained in data security and privacy first — before they ever touch a migration project. Every team member signs a binding confidentiality agreement. Every migration follows documented data handling procedures: encrypted transfers, isolated staging environments, and guaranteed deletion upon completion. We don't just move your data. We protect it as fiercely as if it were our own community at stake. That's the gConverter standard — and it has been since 2010.
