Migrate WordPress.
Keep it live.

A migration can break SEO, drop data, or take your site offline.
We build on staging, verify, then switch. Rollback ready before we start.

How it works

Staged, tested, then switched.

The new site is built and proven on a clone first. Your live site only changes at the final, planned cutover.

Site stays live · Minimal downtime
01 · Staging
Cloned to staging

A full copy of your site is built privately. Your live site is never touched.

02 · Setup
Environment matched

Server, PHP, database, and config set to match, so nothing behaves differently.

03 · Transfer
Everything moved

Files, database, media, and users transferred in full, then checked for gaps.

04 · Validation
Tested end to end

Checkout, forms, pages, and integrations all verified before anything goes live.

05 · Cutover
Controlled go-live

DNS is switched in a planned window. The one moment that touches your live site.

06 · Post-launch
Verified on new host

Performance, SEO, and stability confirmed once real traffic is on the new server.

What you get

What every migration includes.

Four promises that do not bend on any migration we run.

Promise 01

Minimal downtime

Your site stays live through the move. The only interruption is a brief, planned DNS cutover at the end, kept as short as possible. We do not promise zero downtime; we engineer for the lowest possible.

Promise 02

Nothing lost

Every file, record, and order transferred in full, with a complete backup taken before we start.

Promise 03

SEO preserved

Redirects, canonicals, and sitemaps handled so your rankings hold through the move.

Promise 04

After-care included

We monitor the new environment after launch and fix anything that surfaces.

The cutover window

Five minutes. Planned to the second.

The one moment that touches your live site, broken down beat by beat.

Also handled

Domain change

What kicking off looks like

From form to launched. Plain steps.

No black-box hand-off. You see the engagement before you commit.

Step 01
Send the details

Where you are, where you want to go, and anything that must not break. Contact form takes two minutes.

Step 02
We scope and quote

A flat number with the timeline and what is covered. You approve before any access changes hands.

Step 03
Scoped access

A temporary admin account on the current site + credentials for the destination. Both revoked the moment the move is verified. NDA on request.

Step 04
Move and go-live

Built and tested on a staging clone, switched in one planned window. Your live site only changes once.

Common questions

Before you move your site.

The things people usually ask before handing over a migration.

No. The new site is built and tested on a private clone while your current site stays live and untouched. The only change is a short, planned DNS cutover once everything is verified, with email routing switched alongside it so mail keeps flowing.

Move your site without breaking it.

Staged on a clone, tested in full, then switched in one planned window. Your current site stays live until the new one is verified.
