Website migration

Move to WordPress without losing what you built.

Whatever platform you are on — Wix, Squarespace, Shopify, Drupal, Joomla, Magento, BigCommerce or plain HTML — the fear is the same: losing content, rankings and customers in the move. Our migrations are built around not losing them: full inventories, one-to-one redirects, parallel builds and planned cutovers. Pick your platform below for the specifics.

  • Content, SEO and customer data inventoried before anything moves
  • The old site keeps running until the new one is verified
  • Platform-specific playbooks — not one checklist stretched eight ways

Pick your platform

Where are you moving from?

Each migration below has its own page with the platform-specific traps and the plan for avoiding them — because a Wix export problem and a Magento attribute-set problem have nothing in common.

→ WordPress

Wix to WordPress

from Wix to WordPress with content, blog and rankings intact.

→ WordPress

Squarespace to WordPress

from Squarespace to WordPress: what the XML export covers (and what it silently skips), image recovery, URL redirects and a rebuild that ends the template ceiling.

→ WooCommerce

Shopify to WooCommerce

your store from Shopify to WooCommerce: products, customers, orders and SEO migrated, payment and subscriptions re-established, and a cutover that keeps revenue flowing.

Drupal to WordPress

Drupal to WordPress: content types to CPTs, taxonomies mapped, Views rebuilt, users carried over — and URL aliases redirected so years of SEO survive the move.

→ WordPress

Joomla to WordPress

from Joomla to WordPress: articles and categories migrated, K2 and component content handled, SEF URLs redirected, and extensions mapped to maintained plugins.

→ WooCommerce

Magento to WooCommerce

Magento to WooCommerce: attribute sets, configurable products, customer groups and order history mapped — B2B pricing preserved — minus the Magento hosting and dev bills.

→ WooCommerce

BigCommerce to WooCommerce

from BigCommerce to WooCommerce: products with options and modifiers mapped to variations, customers and orders migrated, URLs redirected, payments re-established.

HTML to WordPress

a static HTML site to WordPress: your design becomes a proper theme, content becomes editable pages, URLs are preserved — and the speed is kept on purpose.

What stays safe

The three things a migration must not lose.

Your content

Pages, posts, products, images, customers, orders — inventoried first, migrated with counts verified against the source. Nothing is “probably” moved.

Your rankings

Every indexed URL is mapped one-to-one to its new home with a 301 redirect, and metadata parity is checked before launch. Google follows the map.

Your uptime

The new site is built in parallel and the switch is a planned DNS change in a quiet window. Visitors never see a construction site.

Process

Every migration, five stages.

Our full process ↗︎
  1. Audit and inventory. What exists, what ranks, what integrates — the checklist everything is verified against later.
  2. Parallel build. The WordPress site takes shape on staging while your current site keeps working.
  3. Data migration. Content, media, products and customers moved with the platform-specific playbook, counts checked.
  4. Verification and cutover. Redirects, metadata, forms and checkout verified — then a planned DNS switch in a quiet window.
  5. Aftercare. Weeks of watching Search Console, 404 reports and the numbers, fixing anything the real world surfaces.

Questions

Migration questions, answered plainly.

If your situation isn't covered here, send us the details and we'll reply with a straight answer.

Will we lose our Google rankings when we migrate?

Not if the migration is done properly. Rankings are lost through broken URLs and missing redirects, not through changing platforms. We inventory every indexed URL before the move, map each one to its new home with a 301 redirect, and verify metadata parity before launch — the same discipline as our redesign work. Google follows the redirects, and the rankings follow the content.

How long does a platform migration take?

A straightforward brochure site moves in one to two weeks. A store with a large catalog, customer accounts and order history typically takes three to six, most of it in preparation and testing rather than the move itself. The live site keeps running the whole time — the actual cutover is a planned window measured in hours.

Will the site be down during the migration?

No. We build and test the new WordPress site in parallel while your current site keeps running. The switch is a DNS change made at a low-traffic time once everything is verified — visitors on the old site finish their session, new visitors arrive on the new one. Downtime is effectively zero.

What actually gets moved?

Content (pages, posts, images), products and categories, customer accounts, and order history where the source platform allows it — plus the SEO layer: URLs mapped, redirects in place, metadata carried over. What does not move automatically is design: your old theme is platform-specific, so the new site is rebuilt properly in WordPress rather than imitated badly.

Why move to WordPress at all?

Ownership and headroom. WordPress is open source: no platform fees, no per-transaction cut, no feature ceiling you cannot code past, and your content and data are portable forever. Hosted builders are fine until you hit their walls — pricing, customisation or lock-in. Migration is how you take the asset you have built and put it on land you own.
