Website migration services, planned before anything moves.

We plan and coordinate the technical, search, hosting, integration and launch risks around a move. A migration is a controlled operational change, not a copy-and-paste task.

Start a project Managed hosting for businesses

Move the website. Keep control of what surrounds it.

  1. Current website Inventory the live dependencies.
  2. Validation gate Map, stage, test and approve.
  3. Prepared environment Launch with a recovery path.
  • Redirects
  • DNS and SSL
  • Forms and tracking
  • Rollback

Will moving my website hurt my Google rankings?

It can, if search is treated as an afterthought. We plan it into the move instead, so the valid search signals your site already has survive it and no preventable technical changes are introduced at launch.

Rankings can still change after any migration, and no provider can guarantee they will stay the same. What we do is reduce the avoidable risk.

Technical SEO services

  • Every old URL mapped to its new address, with redirects switched on and each destination checked.

  • Canonicals, structured data, crawl directives, internal links and URL history carried through the move.

  • Metadata, canonicals, structured data and analytics reviewed on staging before launch.

  • Sitemap and robots checks, content parity checks and Search Console coordinated through the move.

  • For a domain change: redirects, canonicals, internal links, sitemap and robots signals, analytics and Search Console planned together.

  • After launch: broken links, redirects, indexing, crawl behavior and performance reviewed.

What else can break when a website moves?

More than the website itself. The risk sits in the connections between the old setup, the new one and the launch sequence, and migrations fail when those connections are left as separate last-minute tasks.

A move is finished when the paths your business depends on work on the new system, not when the files have moved: lead and contact forms, ecommerce transactions, bookings and scheduling, analytics and tracking, CRM integrations, email delivery, customer portals and logins, search traffic and landing pages, and campaign and paid landing pages.

Managed hosting and support

  • DNS and SSL

    The new site can be unreachable, insecure, or switched on before it is ready. We prepare the records and certificates, set the switch timing and check the live site.

  • Email records

    When DNS changes, the email-related records change with it. We list email dependencies up front, get your email provider’s details and coordinate the records.

  • Forms and integrations

    Inquiries, payments, CRM routes or other external services can stop working. We list every dependency and test the critical transactions before and after launch.

  • Tracking and analytics

    Measurement can disappear in a move. We keep tracking in place, review analytics on staging and check it again after launch.

  • Content and media

    Pages, files, metadata or internal links can be left out or mapped to the wrong place. We work from an inventory and a content map, run parity checks and review broken links.

  • Caching, CDN and server setup

    Caching, CDN behavior and runtime configuration change with the hosting. Each is checked before traffic is pointed at the new environment, and the cache is purged at launch.

Can you move us to a different platform, such as WordPress to Shopify?

Yes. When a platform no longer fits the business, we move the website to one that does: WordPress to Shopify, WordPress to a custom frontend, a legacy CMS onto a modern stack, or off Shopify when your requirements change.

Before we scope it, we review your content, editing workflow, custom functionality, integrations, URLs and the proposed destination. Some features have to be rebuilt or replaced rather than copied exactly. The stack follows the project.

A platform move is one of five kinds of migration we plan. The others are hosting moves, domain changes, redesigns and rebuilds, and consolidation: bringing separate websites, subdomains or scattered content into one clear structure with defined ownership and routing.

Migration is a tool for specific problems, not a default recommendation. We only scope one when your current platform is the actual limitation.

Custom web development

A move may make sense when

  • Your hosting is unstable or limiting.
  • The CMS is hard to maintain or extend.
  • The current architecture blocks a planned redesign.
  • Platform costs no longer make sense for the business.
  • Your ecommerce or integration requirements have changed.
  • Performance problems are structural, not a matter of configuration.
  • A vendor or developer relationship is ending, or a handover has left ownership unclear.
  • Your domain or company structure is changing.

Fixing the current site may be better when

  • The core platform still suits the business.
  • The problems are mostly in how it was built, not in its architecture.
  • Performance can be improved without changing platform.
  • Content operations and editorial workflows are working well.
  • The risk of migrating outweighs the expected benefit.

What happens if something goes wrong on launch day?

We plan for that before launch day. Before any significant migration we prepare a way back that fits the environment and agree who decides when to use it. Rollback is not always instant: it is limited to what the platform and hosting actually allow.

Staging, preparing the new environment first, DNS planning, certificate checks and a controlled deployment can often keep downtime to a minimum or avoid it. We do not promise zero downtime, because the risk depends on the platform, hosting, DNS, integrations and the access available.

Every migration runs in five steps, and launch day is the fourth. Not every project needs every check: the scope covers what can affect continuity, search visibility and customer action.

The way back can include

  • Backups taken before the migration begins.

  • The previous deployment or environment kept available during the transition.

  • DNS rollback planning where records are changing.

  • Database snapshots where the platform is data-driven.

  • Versioned deployments for the new environment.

  • Agreed rollback responsibilities and decision thresholds.

  1. Audit

    We look at the current website, platform and hosting, domains and DNS, URLs and content, forms and integrations, analytics and search visibility, email dependencies, launch constraints and the operational risk.

  2. Plan

    We define the new platform and hosting, who is responsible for what, the URL and redirect map, content and data mapping, the deployment method, the validation process, the launch sequence and the rollback path.

  3. Prepare

    We configure or build the new environment, transfer content and data, set up redirects and test on staging: content and responsive layouts, forms and integrations, accessibility, performance, metadata and canonicals, structured data and analytics.

  4. Launch

    We coordinate deployment and cache purge, DNS timing and SSL, redirect activation, search-engine signals, analytics, forms and integrations, then review production errors.

  5. Verify

    After launch we review broken links and redirects, forms and analytics, performance and server errors, indexing and crawl behavior, operational stability, and reported issues and who owns them.

Questions people ask before anything moves

What is a website migration?

It is a controlled move of a website’s platform, hosting, domain, URLs or content structure from one environment to another, while the things it depends on every day, such as forms, analytics, integrations and search visibility, keep working through the change.

How long does a website migration take?

It depends on the platform, how much content there is, the integrations, the hosting and whether a redesign is included. A hosting-only or platform-only move is usually faster than a redesign combined with a new platform. We confirm the timeline after discovery and inventory, not before.

Can you migrate a website without downtime?

Downtime can often be kept to a minimum or avoided through staging, preparing the new environment first, DNS planning, certificate checks, a controlled deployment and checks afterward. The exact risk depends on the platform, hosting, DNS, integrations and the access available, so we do not promise zero downtime for every project.

Will we lose Google rankings during migration?

Redirects, canonicals, internal links, sitemap and robots checks, content parity, Search Console coordination, a performance review and monitoring after launch all reduce avoidable search risk. Rankings can still change, and no provider can guarantee they will stay the same.

Can you migrate an existing WordPress website?

Yes. A WordPress migration can include files, databases, themes, plugins, hosting, staging, DNS, SSL, caching, forms, redirects, analytics, email-related coordination and checks after launch. The final scope depends on your current installation and where it is moving to.

Do you handle Shopify migrations?

Yes, in both directions: onto Shopify from WordPress, another commerce platform or an older custom build, and off Shopify to a different platform when your requirements change. Theme, app, product data and integration scope is confirmed during discovery.

Can you migrate from WordPress to another platform?

Yes. A move from WordPress to Shopify, a custom frontend or another CMS is scoped after we review your content, editing workflow, custom functionality, integrations, URLs and the proposed destination. Some features may need to be rebuilt or replaced rather than reproduced exactly. The stack follows the project.

Can you migrate hosting without redesigning the website?

Yes. We can move the existing website as it is to a new server or managed environment, handling DNS, SSL, caching, database configuration and email-related records, without changing the platform or the design.

Can you migrate a website and redesign it at the same time?

Yes, and it is common. Doing both at once means more moving parts: templates, URLs, navigation, internal links, content hierarchy, performance and conversion paths can all change together. So we plan and sequence it as one coordinated project, not as a final upload step.

What access do you need?

Access can include your current hosting, CMS, domain and DNS, analytics, Search Console, integrations, form delivery, backups and the new services. To scope the move we also need the requirements for the new setup, existing URL records, stakeholder approvals and launch constraints, and your email provider’s details if DNS is changing. Please share credentials and other sensitive access only through an approved secure method, after the scope is confirmed.

Do you create a backup before migration?

Yes, where the platform and access allow it. Backups and rollback planning are part of preparing the migration, and the backup method, storage, restore process and recovery limits are confirmed for your environment rather than assumed.

What happens after launch?

We can check redirects, links, forms, analytics, integrations, certificates, performance, crawl behavior, server errors and reported issues after launch. How long we monitor, and who owns what afterward, is set in the agreed migration scope.

Can CoderCorn manage the hosting after the migration?

Yes. Managed hosting, monitoring and ongoing technical support can continue after launch where that fits the agreed scope, so the work does not end the moment the new website goes live.
