Website migrations are high-stakes. A single misconfigured redirect, a missed database table, or a wrong DNS setting can cost you years of SEO work and days of downtime. I've successfully migrated 100+ websites — from Wix, Squarespace, Shopify, Joomla, Drupal, and broken WordPress installs — with zero data loss and zero ranking drops.
I follow a systematic, documented migration process with rollback points at every stage. You get a fully tested site before anything goes live, and I stay available through launch to handle any DNS propagation issues in real time.
A complete migration service — not just moving files, but ensuring everything works perfectly on the other side.
All pages, posts, products, users, orders, media, comments, and custom data migrated and verified. Nothing left behind, nothing duplicated.
Every old URL mapped to its new equivalent with proper 301 redirects. URL structure changes are documented and tested to protect your existing search rankings.
Move between hosts — cPanel to cPanel, managed WordPress hosting, VPS, or cloud (AWS, DigitalOcean, WP Engine). DNS cutover managed with minimal propagation risk.
SSL certificate installation, HTTPS enforcement, mixed content cleanup, and security header configuration — your new site is secure from day one.
Google Search Console resubmission, crawl error monitoring, redirect chain checking, and indexing verification in the 48 hours after launch.
Full backup of the original site taken before any work begins. If anything unexpected happens, we can restore to the original state in minutes.
I've done it all — if your current platform isn't listed, ask me. I've probably migrated it.
Full inventory of all content, URLs, media, users, and custom data on the existing site. Nothing is moved until we know exactly what's there.
Complete backup of source site. New WordPress environment configured on the destination host with staging access.
All content migrated to staging. Every page, URL, form, and function tested against the original. Redirect map implemented and verified.
You review the staging site and sign off before anything goes live. No surprises on launch day.
Coordinated DNS switch, SSL provisioning, and 48-hour post-launch monitoring including crawl error checks and redirect verification.
Not if the migration is done correctly. The keys are: preserving URL structure where possible, implementing 301 redirects for any changed URLs, maintaining page content and metadata, and resubmitting the sitemap to Google immediately after launch. I handle all of this as part of the standard process.
For most migrations: zero downtime. I build and test the new site completely before changing any DNS settings. The old site stays live until the new one is ready. DNS propagation typically takes 1–4 hours, during which visitors may see either version.
Yes. I've migrated stores with 50,000+ products and 100,000+ orders. Large databases require careful planning — I use WP-CLI, direct DB exports, and staged imports to handle volume without timeouts or data corruption.
I maintain the full backup of your original site throughout the process. In the unlikely event of a critical issue, restoration to the original takes minutes. I also provide 48-hour post-launch monitoring as standard on all migrations.
Website migration and email migration are separate services. I focus on the website, but I can advise on email migration and coordinate timing with your email provider so DNS changes don't affect email delivery.
