Not sure how to start? Tell me what you're trying to get done and I'll help you turn it into a clear request.

Goal: Move my website from WordPress to Wagtail without breaking anything.

Quick check first: Which pages, plugins and tools must keep working after the move?

What I need from you:
- Access to your current WordPress site and its data
- A server or hosting for the new site (I'll ask before buying one)
- A list of tools you rely on (analytics, forms, etc.)

Rules:
- Plan the migration and show me the plan first.
- Move the content and data, then test and fix issues over several rounds before going live.
- If something is missing or unclear, ask me instead of guessing.
- For safety, don't buy a server or switch the live site without my OK.

Output: The migrated site, a list of what was tested and fixed, and anything left before switching over.

If any of this is unclear, tell me what you have and I'll help fill the gaps.

You'll know it worked when: the new site matches the old one, links work, and your tools still report data.
