What we move

What kind of WordPress migration do you actually need?

Different starting points need different plans. Tell us where you are moving from and we scope the right one.

Host to host, no downtime

New hosting, same WordPress site: files, database, DNS and email routing moved with the site live and searchable throughout.

Wix, Squarespace or Blogger to WordPress

Content, images and URLs rebuilt in WordPress, with redirects from the old URLs so search rankings and backlinks are not thrown away.

Drupal or another CMS to WordPress

Content, users and taxonomy mapped across systems that structure data differently, not just a file copy.

Moving off WordPress

Sometimes WordPress is not the right fit anymore. We plan the export and redirect strategy honestly, even when the destination is not us.

How it works

How do you move a site without downtime?

The same four steps for a host move or a full platform change.

  1. Audit the source

    We inventory content, redirects, forms, email and anything custom before touching anything.

  2. Build the new site in parallel

    The destination site is built and tested while the current one stays live and untouched.

  3. Cut over with redirects in place

    DNS and URLs switch only once the new site is verified, with 301 redirects for every changed path.

  4. Verify and watch

    We check search visibility, forms, email and site speed for the first days after cutover, then hand over the finished site.

Honest comparison

A migration plugin, or a managed migration?

A same-host, same-platform move with a good plugin can genuinely be a do-it-yourself job. Complexity is where a plugin alone runs out.

Questions about migrating a WordPress site

Can you move my site to a new host without any downtime?
Yes. We build and test the site on the new host in parallel with the live one, then switch DNS only once it is verified, so visitors see no gap.
Can you move my Wix or Squarespace site to WordPress?
Yes. Content and images get rebuilt in WordPress, and every old URL gets a redirect to its new page so you do not lose search rankings or backlinks.
What happens to my SEO rankings during a migration?
We map every existing URL to its new location with 301 redirects and check search visibility for the first days after cutover. Rankings can still shift after any platform change, but the redirect work is what protects most of it.
Do you only migrate sites onto WordPress?
No. Sometimes moving off WordPress is the right call for a business, and we will tell you honestly if that is what your project needs, then plan the export and redirects the same way.
How long does a migration take?
It depends on the size of the site and how many custom pieces need rebuilding, which we tell you during scoping along with a fixed price, usually within 48 hours.
I just renewed hosting with the same company, do I need this?
No. If you are staying on the same host and the same WordPress install, there is nothing to migrate.
