Website Migration That Keeps Your Rankings and Your Sales
Website migration is moving your site to a new platform, host or design without losing your search rankings, content or sales. The danger is a botched move that tanks traffic. We plan it carefully, map every old URL to its new home with 301 redirects, migrate your content and data cleanly, and run post-launch QA so your rankings hold.

What a website migration really involves
A website migration is any significant change to where or how your site runs: switching CMS or platform (say WordPress to Webflow, or a custom build to Next.js), moving e-commerce to Shopify, changing domain or URL structure, or rebuilding the design from scratch. Each of these can quietly destroy your search visibility if it is handled carelessly, because Google has to re-learn your site and any broken or unmapped URL throws away ranking signals and backlinks you spent years earning.
The risk is real and the recovery is slow. Businesses regularly see traffic and sales fall after a redesign or replatform simply because old URLs returned errors, redirects were missing, page content thinned out, or the new site was slower. The damage often is not noticed for weeks, by which point momentum is lost. That is exactly why migration deserves to be run as a controlled project, not a quick switch-over.
We treat your existing rankings as an asset to protect. Before anything moves we crawl and inventory your current site, capture what ranks and why, and map every important URL to its destination. We migrate content and data faithfully, set up proper 301 redirects, preserve titles, metadata and structured data, and then test exhaustively before and after launch.

Website Migration — FAQs
Will I lose my Google rankings when I migrate?
Not if it is done right. Ranking loss after a migration almost always comes from missing redirects, broken URLs or thinned content. We inventory your site first, map every URL with 301 redirects and preserve metadata, so your rankings carry over to the new site.
Which platforms can you migrate to and from?
Most combinations: WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, custom PHP, and modern stacks like Next.js. We migrate content, media, products and data between them, and rebuild or preserve the design as you prefer.
Will my site go down during the move?
We build and test the new site on staging first, so your live site stays up. Cut-over to the new platform is planned for low-traffic timing and is typically near-instant, with redirects and monitoring in place from the moment we switch.
Can you migrate my e-commerce store without losing orders or SEO?
Yes. We migrate products, categories, customers and order history, map old product URLs to new ones, preserve metadata and structured data, and test checkout end-to-end before launch so both sales and rankings are protected.
How much does a website migration cost?
It depends on site size, platform complexity, data volume and how much redesign you want. A small brochure site differs greatly from a large store or app. We scope after reviewing your current site, so ask for a free quote.
