The stories are always the same. Products imported without variants. 301 redirects that never made it. Meta descriptions overwritten by the new theme. Traffic that never recovered.
Our migration process treats every risk as a discrete stage. Nothing is left implicit. Every deliverable has a name and an owner.
Every stage names its risk and its deliverable. You sign off before the next stage starts.
We map every URL, product, category, plugin, and integration on the source site. Deliverable: an audit doc listing what migrates cleanly, what needs a decision, and what gets deprecated.
A staging store on the target platform, populated with real product and content data. Deliverable: a private URL your team can walk before we touch DNS.
Every source URL mapped to its new home, with 301 redirects, meta tags, and structured data ported. Deliverable: a redirect map spreadsheet + Screaming Frog scan on staging.
DNS TTL dropped, cutover scheduled outside peak, verification checklist run within 15 minutes of the switch. Deliverable: a signed-off go-live checklist and the rollback plan on standby.
Search Console + GA4 monitored for 30 days. Deliverable: a weekly report on rankings, traffic, and any redirect misses, with fixes shipped inside the window.
Nothing is verbal. Every commitment is a file you can hold.
Full inventory of URLs, products, categories, plugins, integrations, and content, with risks flagged and decisions surfaced.
Real data on the target platform, at a private URL, walked and signed off before DNS moves.
Spreadsheet mapping every source URL to its new home, with 301s deployed on cutover and verified within 24 hours.
Pre-cutover, cutover, and post-cutover checklists (60+ items) with owner, status, and timestamp for each.
DNS TTL, snapshot, and a documented rollback procedure. If Stage 04 goes sideways, we revert in under an hour.
Weekly Search Console + GA4 reports for four weeks post-launch, with any redirect misses or ranking drops chased down.
If one of these sounds like your situation, our audit will tell you exactly what the risk profile looks like, before anyone commits.
WooCommerce that groans at scale, or a legacy cart nobody wants to maintain. You want Shopify's stability but you're worried about SEO, integrations, and lost orders mid-cutover.
A cutover you can sleep through, with rankings intact and every integration wired.
Get an auditA WordPress or WooCommerce site that just needs to move to better infrastructure. Different scale, different risk profile, same discipline.
Same URL, same data, same rankings. New host, monitored for 30 days.
Get a quoteWordPress content team, Next.js frontend. We migrate the frontend behind the same WordPress admin, without breaking your editor workflow.
A headless frontend that ships fast, on top of the WordPress your team already knows.
See headless approachThe public site sees zero downtime. We drop DNS TTL 24 hours before cutover, propagate the switch during a scheduled window (usually 2am AEST), and verify the new site is live within 15 minutes of DNS propagation. The old site stays reachable via an internal URL for rollback.
The redirect map is our primary safeguard. Every source URL is mapped to a target URL, 301s deployed on cutover, meta tags and structured data ported, and Search Console monitored weekly for 30 days. Rankings dips of a few percent are normal for the first two weeks; a full recovery typically lands in weeks three to four.
Yes. Every cutover has a documented rollback plan we can trigger inside an hour. We snapshot the source site immediately before cutover, keep DNS TTL low, and hold the old server up for seven days post-launch.
Products, variants, customers, order history, blog content, categories, and metafields. Reviews, subscriptions, and loyalty points depend on which apps or plugins hold them. The audit doc names every category and its migration path.
From audit to live: four to eight weeks for a WooCommerce → Shopify move of a mid-sized store, six to twelve for larger catalogues or complex integrations. Timeline is set in the audit, not guessed at.
