Website Migration & Replatforming
Website Migration & Replatforming Without Losing Rankings or Sales
Moving between hosts, platforms or domains — Wix to WordPress, Magento to Shopify, old site to new — with every URL redirected and nothing lost.
A Planned Move, Not a Leap
A migration is where websites lose their rankings. Not because moving is inherently risky, but because it is usually done as a design project, with the URLs, redirects, metadata and integrations treated as an afterthought. Traffic drops, and by the time anyone notices the old pages are gone.
We treat a migration as a data and SEO exercise first and a design one second. Every indexed URL is mapped to its destination before anything moves, content and customer data are checked against the source, integrations are rebuilt and tested, and the switch happens at a quiet hour with the old site kept live as a fallback.
What’s Included
Migrations We Handle
Site Builder to WordPress
Wix, Squarespace, Weebly and GoDaddy builder sites moved to a platform you own, with the content and structure preserved.
eCommerce Replatforming
Magento, WooCommerce, BigCommerce and Shopify in any direction — products, customers, order history and integrations included.
Host & Server Moves
A like-for-like move to a faster or cheaper host with no downtime and no broken email.
Domain Changes & Rebrands
New domain, merged sites or a rebrand, with redirects and search engine notification handled correctly.
Legacy & Custom Systems
Old PHP, ASP or bespoke systems moved onto a modern, supportable stack without losing what they did.
Redirect Mapping & SEO
Every old URL redirected to the right new one, metadata and structured data carried over, and rankings monitored through the change.

FAQ
Website Migration & Replatforming FAQs
Will I lose my Google rankings?
A small, temporary dip in the weeks after a major migration is normal even when everything is done correctly. What causes lasting damage is missing redirects and dropped pages. With a full URL map in place, rankings recover, and often improve on a faster platform.
How long does a migration take?
A host move for a standard site can be done in a day. A platform change with a redesign is typically four to eight weeks, most of it building and testing before a short cutover. Large catalogues with many integrations take longer, and we will say so up front.
Can you migrate my store without losing order history?
Yes. Customers, products and past orders are moved so your team can see history and customers can log in. Past orders become reference records on the new platform rather than live, fulfillable orders.
What if something goes wrong on launch day?
The old site is kept running until the new one has been live and monitored. If a serious problem appears, we can point the domain back within minutes while it is resolved.
