How We Migrate Your Website to WordPress
A transparent, proven, step-by-step process — from your first discovery call to a fully launched WordPress site. No surprises, no downtime, no data loss.
We Don't Just Migrate , We Build a Better Website
Most migration companies run automated scripts and hand you a broken site. We take a hands-on, manual approach. Every migration is handled by a dedicated project manager with 13+ years of experience, supported by a full team of WordPress specialists.
We clone your site, migrate everything on a staging server, test exhaustively, and only go live once you've approved every detail. Your existing site stays up the entire time.
The result? A faster, cleaner, more SEO-friendly WordPress site — with zero content lost and zero rankings dropped.

Our 6-Step Migration Process
Every migration follows this exact sequence, nothing is skipped, nothing is rushed. Here's exactly what happens after you reach out to us.
Discovery Call
Once you fill out our contact form, a migration consultant will reach out within 24 hours. We learn about your website, your goals, your timeline, and any concerns you have. We answer all your questions honestly — and tell you upfront if we're a good fit.
This call is completely free, with no sales pressure. If we're not the right service for your needs, we'll tell you that too.
- ✓ Current CMS platform and version
- ✓ Approximate number of pages and posts
- ✓ Any custom features or integrations
- ✓ Your timeline and launch goals
- ✓ Hosting preferences and domain setup
- ✓ Budget and scope alignment
Site Audit & Proposal
We conduct a thorough audit of your existing site — crawling all pages, analysing your URL structure, reviewing SEO health, cataloguing extensions and plugins, and identifying any migration complexities.
You receive a detailed proposal with a fixed price, clear timeline, and a full breakdown of everything we'll do. No hidden fees, no scope creep.
- ✓ Full content inventory (pages, posts, media)
- ✓ Current SEO status and URL structure
- ✓ All extensions, plugins, and custom code
- ✓ E-commerce data (if applicable)
- ✓ User accounts and membership data
- ✓ Performance and technical health
Project Manager Assigned
Once you sign off on the proposal, we assign a dedicated project manager who will be your single point of contact throughout the entire migration. They have 13+ years of experience and have personally overseen 500+ website migrations.
Your PM sets up the project timeline, coordinates the technical team, and keeps you updated at every stage.
- ✓ Full project coordination and scheduling
- ✓ Daily or weekly progress updates
- ✓ All technical team communication
- ✓ Approval checkpoints before each phase
- ✓ Post-launch monitoring and support
- ✓ Direct access via email and call
WordPress Setup & Content Migration
We clone your live site to our secure staging server — your live website is never touched. We set up a fresh WordPress environment, select the right theme and plugins, then migrate all content manually: pages, posts, images, metadata, user accounts, categories, and more.
We never use automated migration scripts. Every piece of content is reviewed to ensure accuracy.
- ✓ All pages, posts & custom content types
- ✓ Images, documents & media library
- ✓ Categories, tags & taxonomies
- ✓ User accounts & membership data
- ✓ SEO metadata & alt text
- ✓ E-commerce products, orders & customers
- ✓ Comments & form submissions
- ✓Navigation menus & widgets
Design Replication & QA Testing
We replicate your existing design in WordPress — or improve on it, if that's part of the brief. Every page is then tested across desktop, tablet, and mobile by our QA team. We test all forms, links, navigation, search, and functionality before you see it.
You get access to the staging site to review and request changes. We don't go live until you're fully satisfied.
- ✓ Cross-browser and cross-device testing
- ✓ All internal and external links verified
- ✓ Forms, search and functionality tested
- ✓ Page speed and performance optimised
- ✓ 301 redirect mapping completed
- ✓ XML sitemap and robots.txt configured
- ✓ SSL certificate and security checked
- ✓Client review and approval sign-off
Launch, Monitoring & Handoff
When you approve, we schedule the go-live. DNS is updated, the new WordPress site goes live, and all 301 redirects are activated in one seamless switch. Your old site is kept as a backup for 30 days.
We then monitor performance, rankings, and traffic for 2 months post-launch, and provide full documentation and a WordPress training session so your team can manage the site confidently.
- ✓ Zero-downtime DNS cutover
- ✓ 2 months performance monitoring
- ✓ Google Search Console re-submission
- ✓ Old site backup kept for 30 days
- ✓ WordPress admin training for your team
- ✓ Full project documentation handover
What You're Guaranteed With Every Migration
These aren't aspirations — they're commitments we make to every client, backed by 1,400+ successful migrations.
Zero Downtime
We clone your site on our server and migrate entirely on staging. Your live site stays online the whole time. DNS is only switched after full approval.

99% Smooth Migration
Our manual process and rigorous QA checklist means migrations go smoothly. We've handled everything from 10-page brochure sites to 10,000-page enterprise platforms.

We don't disappear after launch. Our team monitors your site's performance, speed, and search visibility for two full months after go-live.
96% Speed Improvement
WordPress sites built by our team consistently outperform the original CMS on Core Web Vitals — faster load times, better UX, higher PageSpeed scores.
