Website migration / protect what matters

A clearer view of the work.

A practical look at the people, information, and systems involved in website migration.

The service, in context

A migration is a change to a working system.

Changing a CMS or host can affect URLs, page content, integrations, analytics, and search crawling. A careful move inventories what exists, identifies what should be preserved or improved, then tests the new environment before visitors are sent to it.

01 / PURPOSE

Plan a platform, domain, or hosting move around content, redirects, search visibility, forms, and the people who rely on the current site.

Typical areas of work

What this service can include.

The final scope depends on your systems, audience, priorities, and the evidence available. We agree deliverables before work begins.

01

Content and URL inventory

List important pages, files, redirects, metadata, forms, and integrations so essential site assets are not missed.

02

Redirect and search planning

Map old URLs to relevant new destinations and check canonical, indexing, and analytics settings before launch.

03

Content and platform transfer

Move agreed content and assets into the new platform, then review formatting, links, media, and mobile presentation.

04

Launch checks

Test the destination, backups, forms, tracking, redirects, and access before and after the changeover.

How we approach it

Clear steps, reviewed together.

Each stage has a defined purpose. We confirm what is learned, what is changing, and what needs your approval before moving on.

  1. 01

    Discover the current site

    Confirm ownership, access, content, URL patterns, dependencies, and known constraints.

  2. 02

    Design the move

    Decide what stays, changes, retires, or redirects, with a launch and rollback plan.

  3. 03

    Prepare and rehearse

    Move content to a staging environment and test important visitor tasks and technical settings.

  4. 04

    Launch and observe

    Switch traffic when ready, verify key routes and forms, and review crawl or error signals.

Before work begins

Details that make the work dependable.

Good delivery depends on clear ownership, access, and expectations as much as it depends on the implementation.

Access and ownership

Confirm control of the domain, current host, CMS, DNS, and destination before scheduling a move.

Downtime tolerance

Agree who approves the change window and what to do if a critical check fails.

Search expectations

Redirects reduce avoidable breakage, but a migration cannot guarantee unchanged rankings or traffic.

Useful answers

Questions about website migration.

These answers set practical expectations. We can confirm the details that depend on your platform and project scope.

Will a migration keep our search rankings?

No one can guarantee that rankings or traffic will remain unchanged. A URL inventory, relevant redirects, and technical checks help reduce avoidable problems.

Can you migrate only part of the site?

Yes. A staged migration can be appropriate when content areas have different owners or when a full move would create unnecessary risk.

Do we need access to the old platform?

Usually yes, or an export from its owner. The available access affects what can be migrated and how confidently it can be tested.
