What agencies quote
For a small marketing site, hand-porting a a static HTML site design typically lands between a few hundred and several thousand, depending on template count and how much motion is involved. Most of that is rebuild labour, not strategy.
What drives the price up
Complexity compounds; each item below adds hours to a manual port.
- Number of distinct templates
- Custom animation and scroll effects
- Non-standard grid or layout systems
- Web font licensing and loading strategy
- Redirect mapping across many URLs
The conversion route
Themify subscriptions are $29 a month for 5 conversions, $79 for 20 and $149 for unlimited. For developers with a legacy site to modernise, that usually replaces the largest line item in the quote.
- Open the page you want to convert in Chrome.
- Click the Themify extension icon in the toolbar.
- Press Generate theme and wait for the capture to finish.
- In wp-admin, go to Appearance → Themes → Add New → Upload Theme.
- Upload the .zip, activate it, and the page is live on WordPress.
Where to still spend money
Spend it on content, redirects, analytics setup and hosting — the parts that keep paying back after launch.
