Plan the migration around data, URLs and functionality
A successful WordPress migration is more than copying files. We plan the environment change, move the site carefully and verify the customer-facing and administrative workflows after cutover.
Host & server migrationsMove WordPress between hosting providers, control panels or servers while accounting for PHP, database and server differences.
Domain & URL changesHandle domain moves, HTTPS changes and database URL replacement while preserving important redirects and internal references.
Staging to productionMove tested development or staging changes into production with a controlled deployment and validation process.
WooCommerce migrationPlan ecommerce cutovers carefully around products, customers, orders, checkout, payments and an actively changing database.
Large sites & mediaPrepare migrations involving larger databases or media libraries so transfer and verification are handled methodically.
Post-migration testingVerify frontend pages, wp-admin, forms, media, redirects, SSL, plugins, caching, analytics and WooCommerce checkout where applicable.
WooCommerce migrations need extra care
An active store can change while it is being moved. We plan the cutover to reduce disruption and the risk of losing recent transactional data.
Minimize downtime without making unrealistic guarantees
DNS propagation, hosting environments and site size can affect cutover timing. We plan migrations to minimize downtime and disruption rather than promising conditions outside anyone’s control.
