Website Migration

Moved without
losing rankings or data.

Website migrations handled carelessly break search rankings, lose content, and cause days of downtime. We run migrations with a staging environment, a redirect map, and a rollback plan so the cutover is an event, not a crisis.

What's included

Everything you need, none of the upsell.

Real deliverables, with the boundaries written down. So you know what you're paying for and what counts as extra.

Content Migration

Pages, media, and metadata moved.

All content transferred with metadata preserved: titles, descriptions, alt text, and slugs. Not just raw HTML copied over.

Redirect Map

Old URLs pointing to new ones.

Every URL that changes gets a 301 redirect. The map is built before the migration, not after the rankings drop.

Staging First

Tested before it goes live.

Full migration to a staging environment first. Content, links, forms, and integrations tested before the DNS change.

Rollback Plan

If something goes wrong, we go back.

Old site kept live until the new one is confirmed stable. DNS TTL reduced before cutover so a rollback takes minutes.

How it works

The order we work in.

A clear sequence so you can budget time, money, and risk against the work.

Step 01

Audit.

Existing site crawled for content, links, and integrations. Full URL list exported.

Step 02

Redirect Map.

New URL structure designed. Redirect map built for every URL that changes or is removed.

Step 03

Staging Migration.

Full migration to staging. All content, redirects, and integrations tested.

Step 04

Cutover.

DNS updated with low TTL. New site monitored for forty-eight hours. Old site on standby for rollback.
