Data migration
Moving a website or business data is risky when it is done in a hurry. We plan every step, so what you have today arrives safely tomorrow.

We handle migrations between hosts, content management systems and platforms, and the transfer of the records behind them. Each move is backed up, tested and checked against the original before it goes live.

Whether you run a small brochure site or a busy online shop, we will explain what is involved and agree a plan that fits your business.

Our Migration Services

From a simple change of host to a full move onto a new platform, we manage the migration from start to finish.

Let’s talk

  • Website Migration

    Moving to a new host, a new domain or a new platform? We plan the move, copy your files and databases, and test the new site before it goes live.

  • Platform & CMS Migration

    Switching content management system, or rebuilding on a modern framework? We move your pages, posts, products and media across and keep your layout and structure intact.

  • Database & Data Transfer

    We clean, map and import customer, product and content records between systems, so what you had before is what you have afterwards.

  • SEO-Safe Redirects

    Changing URLs can lose you search rankings. We map every old address to its new one with permanent redirects, so visitors and search engines land in the right place.

  • Backups & Rollback Plan

    Before anything moves we take a full backup and agree a way back, so a problem during the migration never puts your site at risk.

Why choose our migration service?

We treat your site and data with care. Every migration is planned, backed up and tested before anything goes live.
1
Minimal Downtime

We build and test the new setup alongside the old one and switch over at a quiet time for your business.

2
Nothing Left Behind

We check pages, images, forms, links and records against the original, so content does not go missing in the move.

3
Search Rankings Protected

Redirects, metadata and sitemaps are carried across, so the move does not undo the visibility you have built.

4
Tested Before Launch

We review the migrated site on desktop and mobile and fix issues before your customers ever see it.

5
Clear Communication

You know what is moving, when it is happening and what we need from you at each step.

6
Support Afterwards

We keep an eye on the site once it is live and sort out anything that needs a second look.

Most Frequent Questions

Common questions about moving a website or its data.

A small brochure site can move in a few days. Larger sites, shops and custom databases take longer because there is more to map and test. We give you a timeline once we have looked at your site.
We aim for little or no downtime. The new site is built and tested in parallel, then switched over at a time that suits you.
Rankings can drop when URLs change or pages are lost. We keep your structure where we can, set up permanent redirects for anything that changes, and carry your page titles and descriptions across to limit the risk.
We work with most common platforms and custom builds. Tell us what you are using now and where you want to go, and we will confirm what is involved.
Access to your current hosting, domain and website admin, plus an idea of what you want to change. If you are unsure, we can work out the details together.
