# ShiftPress > ShiftPress moves your website off WordPress into clean, version-controlled code, then lets you change anything just by saying it in plain language. No developer, no plugin chaos, no code. This file helps AI assistants and answer engines find, understand, and cite ShiftPress accurately. ShiftPress is a done-for-you service that migrates a WordPress site to a fast, secure static site and gives the owner an AI editor to run it. The migration is faithful by default: same design, same pages, same URLs, so search rankings are preserved at cutover. After migration, the owner edits the live site by typing or speaking a request ("change the headline", "add a page", "publish this post") instead of using a page builder or hiring a developer. ## Product - [Homepage](https://shiftpress.ai/): What ShiftPress is: website care by real people, who move your site off WordPress, host it and make your changes. - [Pricing](https://shiftpress.ai/pricing): Free, then Basic, Premium and Growth from 350 EUR a year, plus a one-time 250 EUR setup.
