What Transfers

Everything moves with you — nothing gets left behind

A migration is more than copying files. Every piece of your site is inventoried, moved, and checked off before we call it done.

Pages, Posts & Media

Every page, blog post, image, and file — moved intact with no broken formatting.

Users, Roles & Logins

Customer accounts and admin roles carry over, so nobody needs to re-register.

Plugins, Themes & Custom Code

Custom functionality is rebuilt or reconfigured to work correctly on the new environment.

WooCommerce Products & Orders

Product catalogs, order history, and customer data move over without gaps.

SEO Rankings & URL Structure

Redirects and metadata are mapped so search rankings and inbound links don't break.

Domain & DNS Setup

DNS records, email routing, and SSL are configured so the switch is invisible to visitors.

The Process

How a migration actually happens

Five stages, always in this order — nothing goes live until it's been tested somewhere it can't break your current site.

Audit & Backup

Your current site is fully mapped and backed up before anything is touched.

01
02

Build the Staging Copy

An exact copy of your site is rebuilt on the new host or domain, invisible to visitors.

Test Everything

Forms, checkout, links, plugins, and speed are checked page by page on staging.

03
04

DNS Cutover

Traffic is switched over during a low-traffic window, timed to avoid any visible gap.

Post-Migration Check

A final pass confirms rankings, forms, and orders are all working on the live site.

05
Why It's Worth Getting Right

A migration gone wrong is expensive to undo

Doing It Yourself or via a Plugin

Broken links and lost search rankings from missed redirects
Site down for hours during the switch, sometimes longer
Missing orders, users, or media that silently didn't transfer
No one to call when something breaks after the fact

FAQ

Questions about migrating your site

No. Your current site stays live and untouched while the new version is built and tested on staging — the switch happens in one short cutover window.

Yes. Content is exported and rebuilt into WordPress, since those platforms don't allow a direct one-click transfer.

Rankings are protected by mapping old URLs to their new equivalents with proper redirects, so search engines and visitors land in the right place.

That's the most common request — a like-for-like move to faster or more reliable hosting with no visual changes at all.

Most standard sites are fully migrated and tested within a few days. Larger WooCommerce stores or custom builds may take longer.

A post-migration check confirms forms, checkout, and links all work correctly, with support on hand for anything that needs adjusting.
