WordPress migration services that keep your rankings
Moving from Magento, Squarespace, Webflow, Shopify, Blogger or another host? We rebuild on staging, map every redirect, and switch during your quietest hour.
- No downtime on the switch
- Every redirect mapped
- 30 days of aftercare
A WordPress migration service moves a live website to WordPress, to a new domain, or to a new host. It does that without losing content, search rankings or sales. The work is a rebuild, a redirect map, and a tested switch.
Copying files is the easy part. What decides whether a migration was a success is whether traffic is still there in month two. That comes down to redirects, and redirects come from crawling the old site properly. We quote a fixed price after that crawl, never before it.
- Fixed price, agreed first
- Old site stays live
Where we move sites from
Each route has its own trap. Here is the one that catches people out, plus our own guide if you want to try it yourself.
Three things that separate a clean migration from a costly one
Every migration looks fine on launch day. These three decide what month two looks like. Moving to WooCommerce and need features rebuilt? See our WooCommerce development services.
The redirect map is the whole job
Copying content is a few hours of work. Keeping your traffic is the part that takes skill. We crawl the old site, match every URL to its new home, and test the whole list on staging before anyone switches DNS.
- Every old URL crawled, not just the ones in the menu
- Permanent 301s, so link equity passes
- Query strings, uppercase and trailing slashes handled
- The full list handed to you as a file
Your old site keeps selling while we build
We never take a live site down to work on it. The new build sits on a private staging URL you can click through. Nothing changes for your visitors until you say the word.
- Staging URL you can share with your team
- Last content changes synced right before the switch
- DNS moved during your quietest hour
- Old site kept reachable until you sign off
We count the rows before we call it done
A store migration is not finished because the pages load. It is finished when the numbers match. We compare products, customers, orders and coupons against the old database, line by line, and show you the count.
- Product, customer, order and coupon totals matched
- Order status and refunds checked, not just totals
- Any gap explained in writing before sign-off
- 404s and crawl errors watched for 30 days after
Your rankings survive the move
Most traffic lost in a migration comes from URLs that changed with no redirect behind them. We map every old address to its new home before the switch. Search Console gets the new sitemap on day one.
- Every old URL either kept or redirected once
- Titles, meta descriptions and schema carried across
- Sitemap resubmitted the day you go live
- Crawl errors watched daily for the first month
- Traffic compared against the four weeks before
We stay for two weeks after the switch
The problems that matter only show up once real customers arrive. So we watch the first fortnight closely and keep the old host running until you are happy. Anything we broke, we fix free.
- Checkout and forms tested with real orders
- Broken links watched daily and fixed as they appear
- Old host left running until you sign off
- Speed measured before and after, then shared
- Anything we broke in the move, we fix at no cost
Six steps from old site to new
The same order every time. You approve the staging build before anything changes for your visitors.
-
01
Audit and quote
We look at the live site, count what has to move, and send one fixed price. No hourly surprises.
-
02
Freeze and copy
You pause big content changes for a few days. We take a full copy and start the build.
-
03
Rebuild on staging
Content, design, products and forms go up on a private URL you can click through.
-
04
Map every redirect
We crawl the old site, match each URL to its new one, and test the list before launch.
-
05
Launch on a quiet hour
We pick your lowest traffic window, sync the last changes, and switch DNS.
-
06
Watch for 30 days
Crawl errors, 404s, form entries and orders all get checked daily for the first month.
Every migration ships with the same checklist
Cheap migrations skip the last three items on this list. Those three are the reason a site loses traffic six weeks later, long after the invoice was paid.
Get a Migration QuoteWebsite migration cost
Ranges, not a menu. Page count matters less than how much of the old design and how many old features have to be rebuilt from scratch.
Host to host move
Same site, new server or new hosting company. Includes SSL, email records and a zero-downtime switch.
Domain change
A rebrand or rename. Database strings rewritten, redirects mapped, Search Console change of address filed.
Platform move to WordPress
Squarespace, Wix, Webflow, Blogger or Drupal. Price depends on page count and how much of the design has to be rebuilt.
Store move to WooCommerce
Magento, Shopify or a custom cart. Products, variations, customers, orders and coupons, plus any app features rebuilt.
If a plugin can do your move safely, we will say so and point you at the free route. Send us the URL for a real number.
Who moves to WordPress
Different reasons, same worry: will the traffic and the orders still be there afterwards.
Stores leaving a closed platform
Rising fees or a feature you cannot build. WooCommerce gives you the database and the code back.
Blogs outgrowing a builder
Squarespace, Wix and Blogger are fine until you need real SEO control. Then the export becomes the problem.
Businesses rebranding
New name, new domain, same site. The risk is entirely in the redirects and the DNS.
Sites stuck on slow hosting
Sometimes the fix is a better server, not more caching. We move you and prove the difference.
Agencies with a client move
We run the migration behind your brand. Your client never sees a second name on the invoice.
Multisite networks being split
Pulling one brand out of a network without breaking users, uploads or the other sites.
A migration company that plans the redirects first
Every migration looks fine on launch day. The difference shows up in month two, and it is decided by work done before the switch.
Rankings are the deliverable
Anyone can copy files. The traffic survives or it does not, and that comes down to the redirect map. We build it from a crawl, not from guesswork.
Store data is the hard part
Orders, refunds, coupons and subscription states all have to line up. We build 26 WooCommerce plugins, so we know those tables well.
The old site stays up
We never take the current site down to build the new one. You keep selling while the move happens, and you approve before we switch.
A fixed price, agreed first
Migrations are where hourly billing goes wrong, because nobody knows the real page count until they crawl. We crawl first, then quote once.
You get the notes
Hosting details, the redirect list and what we changed, written down. You can hand the site to anyone later without calling us.
A month of aftercare
Migration problems show up in week three, not on launch day. We stay on it for 30 days at no extra cost.
A plugin, a freelancer, or a managed move
A migration plugin is the right answer more often than agencies admit. Here is where each option holds up and where it stops.
| Factor | Migration plugin | Freelancer | DevDiggers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost | Free to $99 | $200 – $900 | Fixed, quoted per site |
| Same platform, small site | Works well | Works well | Overkill |
| Platform change | Partial import at best | Depends on the person | Rebuilt and tested |
| Redirects | Not handled | Often skipped | Crawled and mapped |
| Store orders and coupons | Rarely complete | Risky | Checked row by row |
| If traffic drops after | Your problem | Usually gone | 30 days of aftercare |

Website migration questions
What people ask before committing to a move. If your case is not here, send us the URL and we will answer it directly.
Talk to a DeveloperNot if the redirects are right. A short dip of a week or two is normal while Google recrawls. Real losses happen when old URLs return a 404 instead of a 301. We crawl the old site first and map every URL before launch, so there is nothing to guess.
A host to host move takes one or two days. A domain change takes about a week. A platform move takes two to six weeks, depending on page count and how much of the design has to be rebuilt by hand.
No. The current site keeps running while we build the new one on staging. The switch itself is a DNS change we make during your quietest hour. Most clients see no downtime at all.
Yes. Products, variations, customers, past orders, refunds and coupons all move. Order status and payment gateway records need mapping by hand, and that is included. We check totals against the old store before sign-off.
For a small site moving between hosts, yes, and we would tell you so. A free plugin handles that fine. Platform changes are different, because the export never contains everything and no plugin writes your redirects.
Store moves run from $1,800 to $12,000. Product count matters less than attribute complexity and how many Magento extensions need rebuilding in WooCommerce. We quote after looking at the catalog, not before.
We copy your MX and mail records before touching DNS, so email keeps flowing through the switch. This is the step most rushed migrations forget, and it is the one clients notice within an hour.
That is most of what we move. We do not need the original developer, the original files or a clean setup. We do need hosting access and, for a domain change, control of the DNS.
