WordPress Migration Services — Move Platforms Without Losing Anything
Stuck on Wix, Squarespace, or a host that's holding you back? I move websites to WordPress — content, SEO, and all — with zero data loss, proper redirects, and downtime measured in minutes, not days.
Own Your Platform Instead Of Renting It
Website builders like Wix and Squarespace are easy to start on and expensive to grow on: monthly fees forever, limited design control, weaker SEO tooling, and your whole business living on a platform you don't own. Moving to WordPress fixes all four — if the move is done right.
That 'done right' is the entire service. A careless migration loses pages, breaks URLs, drops rankings, and takes your site offline mid-move. Mine follows the discipline I use on every project: full inventory first, complete backups, a staging build you approve before anything switches, and a redirect map so every old URL lands somewhere sensible.
I've been moving sites between platforms and hosts for years as part of 120+ delivered projects — builder-to-WordPress, host-to-host, and messy old WordPress installs onto clean modern foundations. Whatever you're migrating from, the goal is the same: everything you had, on a platform you own, faster than before.
My Migration Process
Inventory, Move, Redirect, Verify — Nothing Left Behind
Free Migration Assessment
Tell me what you're on and where you want to go. I'll map what's involved — pages, content, SEO standing, integrations — and give you a fixed quote and timeline within 48 hours.
Full Backup & Content Inventory
Every page, post, image, and form is inventoried and backed up before anything moves. Your current site keeps running untouched throughout.
The Move (On Staging)
I rebuild your site on WordPress on a staging copy — content migrated, design recreated or upgraded, forms and integrations rewired. You review and approve before any switch.
Switch, Redirect & Verify
DNS switch in minutes, 301 redirects for every changed URL, then indexing and speed verification. Your old platform stays live as rollback until you're fully happy.
Migration horror stories come from skipped steps. I don't skip steps.😉

Zero Data Loss, Zero Rankings Lost, Near-Zero Downtime
A migration is a trust exercise: you're handing someone your entire online presence and asking them not to drop it. Here's why it's safe with me:
Rollback At Every Step
Full backups before anything moves, staging before anything switches, and your old site kept live as an instant rollback. There is no step where your site can be lost.
SEO Carries Over
URL inventory and a complete 301 redirect map mean the rankings and backlinks your old site earned keep working for the new one — the step DIY migrations always miss.
An Upgrade, Not Just A Move
Migrating is the perfect moment to fix what the old platform forced on you: faster loads, cleaner structure, better mobile experience. You arrive better than you left.
Everything Rewired
Forms, booking systems, analytics, email integrations — the details that make a site actually work get reconnected and tested, not forgotten.

FAQs
Migration Questions, Answered
Yes — builder-to-WordPress moves are the most common migration I do. Content and images are migrated, your design is recreated (or upgraded), forms are rebuilt, and every old URL gets a proper redirect. You end up owning your platform with no monthly builder fees.
No — the new site is built on staging while your current one keeps running. The actual switch is a DNS change that takes minutes, and your old site stays available as rollback until everything is verified.
Not with a proper redirect plan. I inventory every URL before the move and 301-redirect anything that changes, so your rankings and backlinks transfer to the new site. Rankings drop when migrations skip this — not because moving platforms is inherently penalized.
It depends on size and complexity — a straightforward builder-to-WordPress move starts around a few hundred dollars, larger sites with stores or many integrations cost more. The free assessment gives you a fixed quote within 48 hours, no surprises.
Small sites: 3–7 days. Larger sites or eCommerce stores: 1–3 weeks. The assessment gives you a real timeline for yours — and since the build happens on staging, the timeline never means downtime.
Yes — host-to-host WordPress moves are included in this service, usually with a speed upgrade in the same pass since we're re-platforming anyway. Same discipline: backup, staging, switch, verify.
