What platforms can you migrate from?

Other WordPress hosts, plus Wix, Squarespace, Shopify, Drupal, Joomla and custom systems. Each needs a different export and redirect plan, which I scope before quoting.

Will I lose search rankings?

No one can guarantee rankings through a migration. What I can do is map redirects, carry over metadata and check indexing after the move, which removes the most common causes of lost traffic.

Can you move a WooCommerce store that is taking orders?

Yes, with a cutover window planned around your order volume and a final sync of anything placed during the move.

How long does a migration take?

A simple hosting move usually takes days. Platform and ecommerce migrations depend on content volume and integrations; the proposal includes a timeline.

What happens to forms, email and integrations?

They are listed in the inventory and tested after cutover against the verification checklist.

Black Friday:Migrate in December, half price care

WordPress Migration

WordPress migrations planned to minimise disruption.

Moving a live website needs more than copying files. I plan and test the migration, review redirects and integrations and coordinate the cutover so you have a clear route from the current setup to the new one.

Plan My Migration

Quoted after assessment: every migration is priced after I have reviewed the current site and where it is going.

Three kinds of migration

Hosting migration.

Moving an existing WordPress site to a new host.

Rebuild or platform migration.

Moving from another platform to WordPress, or to a new WordPress architecture.

Complex ecommerce or multilingual migration.

WooCommerce stores with live orders, subscriptions or several languages. Quoted after review.

What is included

Inventory of the current site
Backups before anything moves
Staging copy
Data and media transfer
Redirect mapping where URLs change
Cutover plan
Verification checklist
Rollback plan

What is not included

New design or content rewrites, unless scoped
Hosting costs
Guarantees on rankings, traffic, sales or downtime: nobody can honestly promise those, so the plan makes the risks and checks explicit instead

Indicative investment

Quoted after assessment: every migration is priced after I have reviewed the current site and where it is going.

A starting price is a guide, not a quote. I confirm the price after reviewing access and requirements.
