Website & ecommerce platform migrations

A new platform. A planned move.

Move your website or store to WordPress or WooCommerce with a clear plan for the content, data, and business processes that need to come with it.

Talk through your migration

For teams replacing an aging platform, an unsupported custom build, or a store that has become hard to maintain.

Where this helps

More than moving the pages.

Content & search

Map existing URLs to their destinations. Bring over useful content, metadata, and media, then check redirects and indexing settings.

Catalog & customer records

Agree on which products, variants, customers, and order records can move. Reconcile samples and totals before launch.

Custom features & integrations

Account for pricing rules, product builders, shipping, payments, accounting, and inventory connections. Test the business flow on the new platform.

The method in practice

The migration sequence

  1. Step 01

    Map

    Inventory the pages, products, records, and connections that the business relies on.

  2. Step 02

    Rebuild

    Prepare the destination and replace the custom features that still earn their place.

  3. Step 03

    Rehearse

    Run a sample migration. Check records, redirects, checkout, and connected systems.

  4. Step 04

    Move

    Agree on the final data sync, launch window, recovery steps, and post-launch checks.

A useful first step

Start with a migration assessment.

Bring the current site, your destination, and what is driving the move. We first check fit, then scope the assessment needed to quote the migration.

The starting scope

  • Current-platform and data review
  • Feature, URL, and integration inventory
  • Proposed phases, dependencies, and launch checks

Before we start

Questions worth asking.

Which platforms can you migrate?

We assess legacy websites, custom stores, and existing ecommerce platforms for a move to WordPress or WooCommerce. Share the source platform and export options. We confirm what can transfer before committing to scope.

Will we keep our search rankings?

We plan redirects, preserve useful content and metadata, and check the new site's search settings. Search rankings can change during a migration; we do not guarantee they will stay the same.

Can customers keep ordering during the move?

We plan around trading hours and how the source platform handles new orders. The scope defines any final sync or pause, along with the checks required before the new store opens.

Can you bring over passwords and payment details?

That depends on the source and destination systems. Password resets may be needed, and payment tokens may not be transferable. We identify those limits during assessment and plan customer communication around them.
