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.
Pages, media, and metadata moved.
All content transferred with metadata preserved: titles, descriptions, alt text, and slugs. Not just raw HTML copied over.
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.
Tested before it goes live.
Full migration to a staging environment first. Content, links, forms, and integrations tested before the DNS change.
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.
The order we work in.
A clear sequence so you can budget time, money, and risk against the work.
Audit.
Existing site crawled for content, links, and integrations. Full URL list exported.
Redirect Map.
New URL structure designed. Redirect map built for every URL that changes or is removed.
Staging Migration.
Full migration to staging. All content, redirects, and integrations tested.
Cutover.
DNS updated with low TTL. New site monitored for forty-eight hours. Old site on standby for rollback.
Common questions.
What is the biggest risk in a platform migration?
Losing what the old system earned. For anything with search visibility that means URLs: every old address needs a redirect to its new equivalent, and a migration that drops them loses rankings that took years to build.
How is data validated?
Counts and spot checks before cutover, on a staging copy, with the old system still running. Migrating into production and validating afterwards is how businesses discover missing records once the source is gone.
How much downtime should we expect?
For most business systems, a planned window over a weekend or overnight. Genuinely zero-downtime migrations are possible but cost considerably more, and are worth it only where the system cannot be unavailable at all.
What if the migration fails partway?
There is a rollback plan and the old system stays available until the new one is proven, which is the point of not decommissioning immediately. A migration without a defined rollback is a gamble rather than a project.
