WordPress Migration Services

Migrations go wrong in predictable ways: DNS changes that cause downtime, database moves that silently corrupt data, or a lift-and-shift that carries over the exact bloat and plugin conflicts that made the old setup slow. Handled as a planned cutover with a rollback path, not a same-day DNS change and hope.

The Service

What This Actually Covers

Moving a site to new hosting, a new builder, or off a different platform entirely, without the downtime, broken links, or lost email that make migrations risky.

Sites outgrowing their current host or platform, or that need to move off a page builder or CMS that’s become a bottleneck.

What You Get

Real outcomes, not just a checklist.

No downtime cutover

The move is planned and tested on staging first, timed to minimize disruption.

Nothing lost in the move

Database, media, and plugin configuration all carried over, checked for broken links and paths after.

Mail keeps working

DNS and email cutover planned so messages don't disappear mid-migration.

Off any platform, onto WordPress

Platform migrations from Wix, Squarespace, or a legacy custom build land cleanly on WordPress, not just host-to-host moves.

My Process

How This Actually Runs

A clear process, on your timeline.

01

Understand

I review the current setup, requirements, and what success actually looks like for this project.

02

Develop

I build the solution with the right tools for the job, structured so it holds up after handoff.

03

Test

Everything gets checked against real-world use, not just how it looks in a demo.

04

Deliver

You get a finished, working result, ready for handoff and whatever comes next.

No downtime, no lost email. Just a clean move to somewhere better. 🚚

Development Standards

The standards behind every WordPress Migration Services project.

01

Full database and media migration

Content, media library, and plugin configuration move together, not piecemeal.

02

Platform migrations supported

Moves from Wix, Squarespace, or a legacy build are handled directly.

03

DNS and email cutover planned

The switch is timed to avoid downtime or dropped mail during propagation.

04

Staging tested before go-live

The migrated site is verified in staging, not fixed live after the fact.

05

Broken link and redirect checks

Missing redirects and broken links are caught before launch.

06

Image path verification

Media references are checked so images don't break during the switch.

07

SEO continuity preserved

Rankings and indexed URLs are protected with a proper redirect map.

08

Rollback plan in place

A tested way back to the old setup exists if something needs to pause.

09

Left ready to grow

The migrated site is left in a state your team can manage going forward.

Why Clients Choose This

A remote senior developer, done properly.

The usual worry about going remote is communication and turnaround. Both dissolve when updates come straight from the person doing the work, not relayed through an account manager.

What's left is the math, and it favors not paying agency overhead for the same work.

FAQ

Questions before we start?

Will my site go down during the migration?+

The migrated site is built and tested on a staging environment first, so the live site keeps running until the cutover, which is timed to minimize downtime rather than done live on the production site.

Can you migrate from a non-WordPress platform?+

Yes, moving from Wix, Squarespace, or a custom-built site onto WordPress is a common request, though the scope depends on how much content and functionality needs to carry over.

How do we get started?+

A short call or a written brief is enough for me to put together a fixed quote and timeline. No lengthy discovery process required before you get a number.

Is this a fixed quote or billed hourly?+

A fixed quote based on scope, agreed before work starts. I don't do open-ended hourly billing where the number keeps moving.

How long does a project like this usually take?+

Depends on scope, but most projects in this category run from a few days to a few weeks once requirements are locked in. You'll get a specific timeline after scoping.

Are revisions included?+

Yes, feedback rounds within the original scope are part of the process, not billed as separate extras.

What happens after launch, is there support?+

Ongoing support is available through a maintenance plan or on an as-needed basis. The build isn't handed off and forgotten.

Do you work with clients outside the US?+

Yes, I work remotely with clients across the US, UK, Europe, and beyond. Time zone overlap is usually workable with async updates.
