Site moves with zero downtime and zero lost rankings.

Migrations fail quietly: the site "works" but 300 URLs changed, image paths broke, and organic traffic slides 40% over the next month. The engineering isn't copying files, it's the redirect map, the DNS choreography and the verification pass afterward.

The approach

Filed under Growth & care. Everything that keeps a live site fast, safe and climbing.

I migrate WordPress sites between hosts, from closed platforms (Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, Shopify blogs) into WordPress, across domains, and out of multisite networks, with a documented URL map, staging verification and a monitored cutover.

What the engagement includes

05 deliverables · all in the quoted price

01The headline deliverable

Zero-downtime cutover

Staged copy, synced content freeze window and DNS switch timed so visitors never see a gap.

02

Full SEO redirect map

Every old URL 301s to its exact successor, crawled, mapped and verified post-launch.

03

Platform escapes

Wix, Squarespace, Webflow and friends converted into clean WordPress you actually own.

04

Email & DNS handled

MX records and service entries preserved, because migrations that kill email are a classic.

05

Post-launch monitoring

Two weeks of 404 log review and Search Console watching after every move.

How it runs

Same four beats on every engagement, this one included. No discovery-call theater.

01

Brief in plain language

Describe the project the way you'd say it out loud. Links, deadlines and a rough budget all help.

02

Written quote in one business day

A fixed range and a recommendation, plus an honest note if this service isn't the right fit for it.

03

Build on a private staging link

You watch progress live and give feedback in plain words. No ticket system required.

04

Launch, then 30 days of support

Fixes and tweaks are included while the site settles in. After that, you choose what ongoing care looks like.

Honest answers first

Anything missing? Ask directly and get a reply within 24 hours.

Q1Will we lose Google rankings when we move?

Not if the redirect map is complete and the new site performs at least as well. Rankings dip when URLs die or speed regresses, both are checkable before cutover, and I check them.

Q2Can you get my content out of Wix or Squarespace?

Yes. Those platforms don't export cleanly on purpose, so I extract content programmatically, rebuild the templates in WordPress and set up redirects from the old URL patterns.

Q3How much downtime should we expect?

None that visitors notice. The new environment is fully built and tested while the old site runs; the switch itself is a DNS change during your lowest-traffic hour.
