Migration Service

Leave WordPress With a Clear Plan

A successful migration is more than rewriting a theme. We audit the existing site, rebuild the pages that matter, and prepare the launch so your new foundation is lighter, clearer, and easier to maintain.

  • URLs and Redirects

    Every indexed address is inventoried and given a destination, so existing links and bookmarks keep working after the switch.

  • Content and Metadata

    Posts, pages, media, titles, descriptions, and structured data move across with their meaning and formatting intact.

  • Forms and Analytics

    Contact forms, tracking, and goal measurement are rebuilt and verified before launch rather than reconnected afterwards.

  • A Smaller Attack Surface

    No database, theme stack, or plugin queue to patch each month, which removes a recurring category of maintenance work.

  • An Editing Path You Keep

    We agree on how you will update content after launch, whether that is a Git-based CMS or handing changes to us.

  • A Lighter Foundation

    Static output means fewer moving parts between a visitor and your content, and fewer things that can break quietly.

SEO Preservation

What We Protect During the Migration

We do not promise identical rankings after a migration: search changes, and performance depends on your content and market. We do document and carry over the signals that are within our control.

  • A complete URL map

    Every indexed address is inventoried and assigned a destination before anything is switched over, with 301 redirects prepared in advance.

  • Metadata and structured data

    Titles, descriptions, canonicals, sitemaps, and JSON-LD are carried across and validated against the new build.

  • Forms, analytics, and launch checks

    We confirm that enquiries arrive and measurement still reports before the DNS change, with a rollback path agreed up front.

The Process

The Migration Plan

Four stages, each with a checkpoint you can review before we move to the next one.

  • 01

    Audit

    Inventory URLs, content, metadata, media, forms, analytics, and dependencies that need to survive the move.

  • 02

    Rebuild

    Rebuild the useful templates and pages in Astro with a lighter foundation and clearer conversion paths.

  • 03

    Protect SEO

    Map URLs, prepare 301 redirects, canonicals, sitemap, structured data, and internal-link checks.

  • 04

    Test and Launch

    QA across representative devices, verify forms and measurement, then launch with a clear rollback procedure.

Who It Is For

A Good Fit If This Sounds Familiar

A migration is worth doing when the current stack is the thing holding the site back, not when the site simply needs new copy or design.

  • Plugins and themes slow you down

    Your brochure site or blog carries maintenance overhead that is out of proportion to what the site actually does.

  • You want to keep what already works

    Your content, important URLs, and working forms should survive the move instead of being rebuilt from memory.

  • You would rather have a person than a dashboard

    You prefer direct support to another technical admin panel that you have to learn and keep updated.

Common Questions

Questions Before a Migration

  • Should I just stay on WordPress?

    Sometimes, yes. A complex WooCommerce store, an essential membership system, an advanced editorial workflow, or a plugin providing functionality you do not want to rebuild are all good reasons to stay. We would rather tell you that on the call than sell you a migration you do not need.

  • Will I lose my Google rankings?

    No migration can guarantee identical rankings, and anyone promising that is guessing. What a careful plan does is preserve the signals you control: URL mapping, redirects, metadata, internal links, structured data, forms, analytics, and launch checks.

  • How will I edit content afterwards?

    We agree on the editing path before the rebuild starts. That is usually a Git-based CMS you log into, or handing content changes to us as part of an ongoing care plan.

  • How long does a migration take?

    It depends on the number of pages, templates, and integrations. You get a scope and a realistic timeline after the audit stage, rather than an estimate before anyone has looked at the site.

  • What happens if something breaks at launch?

    Every launch has a rollback procedure agreed in advance. The previous site stays available until redirects, forms, and analytics have been verified on the new one.

Is your WordPress site a good candidate?

Share your URL and constraints. We will reply with a realistic scope, what to preserve, and what to resolve before discussing a rebuild.
