Website migration

Website Migration, Platform by Platform

A guide for each platform pair we move, from Squarespace, Wix, Webflow, and WordPress to WordPress, Shopify, and Astro, all run on the same process: URL inventory, one-to-one 301 mapping, staged cutover, and 90 days of rank monitoring.

What Is a Website Migration?

Migrations start with a $495 Migration Risk Assessment that inventories your URLs and extractable content, then a fixed quote from $1,500. The old site stays live and trading until cutover is verified; rankings are monitored for 90 days after. Pick the guide that matches your platform pair below.

Which website migration do you need?

Most migrations start from one of four situations. Find yours, then open the guide for that platform pair; each one covers the exact export limits and redirect work for the move.

You are leaving a closed site builder

Squarespace and Wix sites cannot be lifted as they are. See Squarespace or Wix to WordPress, or Wix to Shopify for a store.

A platform limit is costing you

CMS caps, stacked pricing, a feature the platform cannot reach, or a WooCommerce store you would rather not host. See Webflow to WordPress or WordPress to Shopify.

Your site is slow and the CMS is why

A full rebuild or a headless setup. See WordPress to Astro.

You are moving servers or hosts

Infrastructure moves follow the same staged cutover. See AWS infrastructure migrations.

What does every website migration have in common?

Rankings attach to URLs, so every migration protects them the same way: inventory every URL, map each one to its new address, build and verify on staging, cut over in a low-traffic window, and monitor afterward. The step-by-step process, what moves the price, and the $495 assessment are on the website migration services page, and the full before, during, and after list is the website migration SEO checklist.

Migration questions

Will I lose SEO if I migrate?

Not with a complete 301 map and unchanged content. Expect brief fluctuation in the first weeks, which the 90-day monitoring window exists to distinguish from an actual problem.

Do I need to keep paying my old platform during the migration?

Yes, until cutover is verified. The live site is both your revenue and your rollback; one extra month of platform fees is cheap insurance.

How is the price determined?

The $495 assessment produces a fixed quote from $1,500. Page and product count, platform pair, and integrations are the drivers, and the quote itemizes them. Market ranges are in the website migration cost guide.

Who maintains the site afterward?

Predictable monthly retainers that keep your website updated, secure, backed up, and monitored, on any platform, including custom PHP/CodeIgniter applications.

Which platform moves does this cover?

Squarespace or Wix to WordPress, Wix to Shopify, WordPress or WooCommerce to Shopify, Webflow to WordPress, and WordPress to Astro, whether that means a full migration or keeping WordPress headless behind an Astro or Next.js frontend. Every direction runs the same assessment-first process.

How do I migrate a website to a new host or domain?

Copy the site to the new host and test it there, keep the old host running, lower DNS time-to-live before the change, then point DNS to the new host in a low-traffic window. A domain change also needs a 301 from every old URL to its new address. The migration SEO checklist covers both cases.

Which migration guide should I start with?

The one that matches the platform you are leaving and the one you are moving to. If you are not sure the move is right, start with the platform comparisons or a technical audit.
