01Quick answer
What is included in website migration services?
Proper website migration services move your content and media, maps every old URL to its new address with 301 redirects, carries over SEO settings, checks domain and email records, and switches over at a quiet time. After launch it is checked again for broken links and errors in Google Search Console.
02What you get
Everything the job needs.
Every part of the move is covered, whether it is a WordPress to Squarespace migration or a switch to a faster host.
- Content and media movedPages, posts, images, products and downloads moved across and checked.
- Redirect mapEvery old URL matched to its new page with a 301 redirect, so links and rankings carry over.
- SEO settings carried overTitles, descriptions, headings, alt text and structured data kept or improved.
- Domain, DNS and email checksRecords reviewed before the switch so email and other services keep working.
- Forms and integrationsContact forms, booking, analytics and third-party tools reconnected.
- Planned switchoverThe move is timed for a quiet hour, with a rollback plan ready.
- Search Console checksSitemaps submitted and crawl errors watched in the weeks after launch.
- Written summaryA short record of what moved where, for your files.
03Who it is for
Built for people like you.
Most of these clients are in the US, UK, Canada and Australia, and I have worked with clients in 70 countries.
Not the right fit if you want a full redesign at the same time. We plan that as a separate step.

A tidy handover with redirects mapped and a record of what moved where.
04Sound familiar?
What usually goes wrong.
Afraid of losing rankings
Years of work on Google could disappear if old pages stop working after the move.
Email going down
A domain change done in a hurry can stop email arriving, and nobody notices for days.
Stuck on an old platform
Your content is locked in a builder you have outgrown, and moving it feels like too much. Good website migration services take that weight off.
05Under the hood
How the move is actually done.
The technical side of a migration, for anyone who wants to know what happens behind the switch.
Crawl and URL inventory
Before anything moves, the old site is crawled and every URL is listed, along with the pages that Search Console and analytics show getting traffic and links.
One-to-one 301 map
Each old URL points to its closest new page with a permanent 301 redirect. No mass redirects to the home page and no redirect chains.
Staging build and content check
The new site is built on a staging address that search engines cannot index, then compared with the old one page by page.
DNS with a low TTL
The DNS time to live is lowered a day ahead so the switch spreads in minutes. MX, SPF, DKIM and DMARC records are copied exactly, so email keeps flowing.
Launch-day checks
Redirects are tested in bulk, the noindex setting is removed, the new sitemap is submitted, and canonical tags, robots.txt and HTTPS are confirmed.
Monitoring after launch
Search Console coverage, 404 errors and rankings for key pages are watched for several weeks, and any missed URL gets its redirect.

Will I lose my Google rankings when I migrate?
Not if the move is done carefully. Every old URL is redirected to its new page and the content and SEO settings carry over, so search engines understand the move. A small dip for a few weeks can happen before rankings settle.
Can you migrate Wix to WordPress?
Yes. Wix has no full export, so a Wix to WordPress migration means the pages are rebuilt in WordPress, the content is moved across, and every old Wix URL is redirected to its new page.
Can you migrate Wix to Duda without losing SEO?
Yes. Wix to Duda is a rebuild rather than an export, so I recreate the pages in Duda, carry over titles, descriptions and alt text, and set a 301 redirect for every old Wix URL. Duda handles redirects well, so rankings carry across once Google recrawls the site.
Are you a migration agency or a freelancer?
An independent consultant. You get the planning and checklists of a migration agency, with one senior developer doing the work and answering your questions directly.
Can you move WordPress to Squarespace, or Squarespace to WordPress?
Yes, in both directions. I will tell you what each platform does better for your business before we decide.
Will my email stop working?
No, if the DNS records are handled properly. I check your email records before the switch and keep them in place, so email keeps arriving.
How long does a migration take?
It depends on the number of pages and how the content is stored. You get a dated plan before we start, and the switchover itself takes minutes.
Can you move my WordPress site to a faster host?
Yes. My WordPress website migration services cover the files, database and email settings. I test the site on the new server, and switch the domain once everything checks out.
What do I need to provide for a migration?
Access to the current site, the domain registrar, the new platform or host, and your email provider. A list of your most important pages and forms helps too.
What are the most common migration mistakes?
Launching without redirects, leaving the staging noindex setting switched on, changing DNS without copying the email records, and losing form or analytics connections. Each one is on my launch checklist.
What happens after the move?
I watch Search Console, 404 errors and traffic for several weeks, add any redirect that was missed, and send a short summary of what moved where.
