Website Migration

Move to WordPress without losing your rankings, your content or a day of trading. We build the new site alongside the old one and switch over once it's checked.

Move to WordPress without losing what already works

Most businesses that come to us for a migration have outgrown their platform. Edits take too long, the SEO settings stop short, or the monthly fees keep climbing for features they can’t change.

Moving to WordPress fixes the platform. You own the site, your team edits it, and it runs wherever you choose to host it.

Ackcio is a good example. Their Webflow site was run by an outside team, and a small text change took two to three weeks. Since we moved them to WordPress in 2022, their team publishes the same day.

What a migration includes

Everything that moves, and everything that has to keep working.

01

Audit and content inventory

Every page, post, product and file on the old site listed before anything moves.

02

URL mapping and redirects

Every old URL mapped one-to-one with a 301 redirect, so links and rankings carry over.

03

Keep the design or refresh it

We rebuild your current design faithfully, or use the move to redesign. Your choice.

04

Content and product import

Pages, posts, products and media moved across, then checked against the inventory.

05

SEO carried across

Titles, meta descriptions and schema moved, then checked in Search Console after launch.

06

Training and handover

Your team trained on WordPress, with notes, so edits don't need us.

Website migration is often the start, not the finish

Most businesses that ask for website migration aren’t just looking to move platforms. They’re looking to fix problems: slow performance, limited functionality, poor SEO, or a website that no longer reflects where the business is.

Moving to WordPress solves the platform problem. But whilst we’re rebuilding, it often makes sense to address the bigger picture: site structure, messaging, design, and how the website supports your business goals. That’s why we treat migration conversations as strategy conversations.

What is a website migration?

A website migration means moving your website from one platform, server, or domain to another while keeping its content and search rankings intact. Done properly, visitors and Google barely notice the switch.

Why professional migration services matter

Most migration damage happens in the redirects: a missed URL loses its rankings and every link pointing at it. We map every URL before launch and check them again after it. That matters most for stores and B2B sites, where a lost page is lost revenue.

Your site stays live the whole way through

The biggest fear with any migration is downtime: losing traffic, losing rankings, or losing the site you depend on while it’s mid-move. That’s not how we work.

We build and test your new WordPress site in parallel, map every URL to a one-to-one redirect, and only switch over once everything is verified. No gaps, no lost rankings, nothing left behind. Your current site keeps running right up until the new one is ready to take its place.

Your site migration roadmap

Six stages. Your current site stays live until the last one.

  1. 01

    Discovery Phase

    We audit the current site: every page, what ranks, what earns, and what has to keep working.

  2. 02

    Planning Phase

    We plan the new structure and map every old URL to its new home.

  3. 03

    Preparation Phase

    We set up WordPress on a staging site and back up the old one in full.

  4. 04

    Migration Phase

    Content, media and products move across, and the redirects go in.

  5. 05

    Testing Phase

    Every page, form and link tested on real devices, then signed off by you before launch.

  6. 06

    Launch and Support

    We switch the domain over, check the redirects and Search Console, and stay on call.

The tools behind every migration

The same tools on every move, so nothing is left behind on the old platform.

Before the move

  • Screaming Frog (every URL on the old site)
  • Ahrefs (backlinks and top pages to protect)
  • Google Search Console (what Google has indexed)

Building in parallel

  • WordPress and Advanced Custom Fields Pro (the new site)
  • Staging sites (built and tested while the old site stays live)
  • BrowserStack (real-device testing)

Moving content and URLs

  • Platform exports and WP All Import (pages, posts and products)
  • SEOPress (one-to-one 301 redirects and meta carried across)

Switch-over

  • Cloudflare (DNS change with no downtime)
  • Google Search Console (new sitemap, index checked after launch)
  • ManageWP (updates, backups and uptime from day one)

Why migrate to WordPress

Moving to WordPress means gaining control, improving performance, and building a website that can grow with your business.
