Leaving WordPress? Move the website and the work around it.
OBTO hosts your site and the apps behind it, such as a CRM, a service desk and internal tools. You change any of them from Claude or ChatGPT.
You came to change one line
You log in to update the pricing page. Three plugins want updates and Site Health has new warnings. Then a visitor fills in the contact form, and someone copies the lead into the CRM by hand. Months later the same customer emails support, and the helpdesk knows nothing about the sale.
A new website builder fixes the first part. OBTO also moves the work that happens after the form.
One platform for the site and what sits behind it
Your website
Pages served with titles, descriptions and a sitemap. OBTO runs the hosting and keeps the platform updated, and there are no third-party plugins to keep current.
The apps around it
A CRM, a service desk and internal tools run on the same platform, so a form on the site can write a record the CRM reads.
The AI you already use
Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and Codex connect through MCP. Ask for a change, and the run returns a receipt of what changed.

Moving an existing site
Start with the pages and forms that matter most. Rebuild them on OBTO from your AI client while your WordPress site stays live, and switch your domain when the new site is ready. If you want help planning the move, talk to us first.
Billed per application
No seats, no token fees. What you spend on your AI client stays with your AI provider.
When WordPress is still the better choice
Stay on WordPress if you depend on a large plugin ecosystem, a theme marketplace or an agency that works only in WordPress. If the site is a blog and nothing else, a simpler website builder may be all you need. OBTO fits when the website is the front door of a business that runs on several other tools.

Questions
Do I keep my domain?
Yes. You point your domain at OBTO when the new site is ready, and we help with the DNS records.
Will my search rankings survive the move?
Pages carry their own titles, descriptions and a sitemap. Page addresses may change in the move, so list your most visited pages first and plan redirects with us before you switch the domain.
Do I need to be technical?
You need an AI client such as Claude or ChatGPT and the ability to describe what you want changed. Connecting the client to OBTO takes a few steps, and the getting started page walks through them.
Is my work mine?
Yes. Your apps can be exported to GitHub.
What about security?
OBTO runs and updates the platform, and access to each app is controlled by sign-in and roles.
