Migrate Your Website Without Downtime, Data Loss, or Ranking Drops
I plan and execute full-site migrations for businesses that can't afford messy cutovers. Hosting shifts, domain moves, platform changes, and redesign launches are handled with backups, rollback paths, and SEO-safe redirects.
Most Migration Failures Are Planning Failures
The code is rarely the main risk. The real risk is missing dependencies, weak redirect mapping, and switching DNS without monitoring. I've seen teams lose weeks of revenue from migrations that looked fine in staging.
Leads keep coming in but attribution disappears because tags and goals were not mapped.
Missing 301 rules and changed URL structures cause traffic drops after launch.
Operational chaos No rollback plan means your team scrambles when edge-case bugs appear in production.

Common questions
How do I migrate a website without losing SEO rankings?
Three rules: (1) preserve URL structure or have a comprehensive 301 redirect map for every changed URL, (2) maintain content parity (every important page on the old site exists with the same content and schema on the new site), (3) submit updated sitemaps and monitor GSC for 30 days post-launch to catch any indexation issues. 90% of post-migration ranking drops come from skipping one of these.
How long does a website migration take?
Same-platform host change: 1 week. Same-platform with HTTPS conversion: 1–2 weeks. Cross-platform migration (Squarespace/Wix/Webflow to WordPress): 3–6 weeks. Major rebuild + migration: 6–12 weeks. Quote depends on content volume, custom features to recreate, and SEO complexity.
Can you migrate from Squarespace, Wix, or Webflow to WordPress?
Yes. Content extracted (posts, pages, media, products), URL structure mapped to WordPress equivalents with redirects for any changes, theme rebuilt or selected to match existing design, contact forms and integrations recreated, and SEO equity preserved through clean redirects. Most cross-platform migrations finish in 4–6 weeks.
Will my site go down during migration?
Zero downtime is the default. DNS pre-warming on the new host with a low TTL, content sync 24–48 hours before cutover, final database sync at cutover, DNS switch happens in seconds. Visitors hitting either host during the propagation window see the right content.
What about HTTPS / SSL migration?
Included on every migration. SSL certificate issued via Let’s Encrypt or AWS ACM, internal links updated from http:// to https://, mixed-content audit, HSTS header configured, redirect rules added (http to https, www to non-www or vice versa). Most sites have 5–20 minor mixed-content issues that need cleanup; included in scope.
Do you handle email migration too?
If email is on the same domain hosted at the same place: yes. Migration to Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, or Zoho Mail with MX records updated correctly, mail-routing tested, and spam protection (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) configured. If email is already separate from web hosting, no email work needed.
What if I need to keep my old URLs but change the platform underneath?
That’s the easiest migration scenario — just preserve URL structure on the new platform. WordPress has flexible permalink and rewrite-rule support, so any URL pattern from the old platform can be matched. SEO impact is typically zero or slightly positive (faster site, better schema).
Pricing?
Same-platform host migration: $499. Cross-platform migration with theme rebuild: $2,500–$8,000. Enterprise migration with multi-language, custom integrations: $10,000+. Includes 30 days of post-launch monitoring and any cleanup of redirect issues that surface.
