Leads keep coming in but attribution disappears because tags and goals were not mapped.

Migration Risks
Most Migration Failures Are Planning Failures
The code is rarely the main risk. The real risk is missing dependencies, weak redirect mapping, and switching DNS without monitoring. We've seen teams lose weeks of revenue from migrations that looked fine in staging.
Lost rankings
Missing 301 rules and changed URL structures cause traffic drops after launch.
Operational chaos
No rollback plan means your team scrambles when edge-case bugs appear in production.

Questions, answered
Website migration questions, answered
Plan around SEO, downtime, stores, forms, access, emergency work, and post-migration support.
Can you migrate and redesign at the same time?
Yes, but only with a strict parity checklist so SEO and conversion tracking stay intact during visual changes.
Do you support emergency rescues?
We do when capacity allows it. Priority rescue work is billed at a higher emergency rate.
What access do you need?
Hosting panel, DNS manager, CMS admin, and analytics access are the usual minimum.
What types of website migrations do you handle?
We handle platform migrations (Wix/Squarespace/Shopify to WordPress), host migrations, domain changes, HTTP to HTTPS migrations, CMS upgrades, page builder migrations (Elementor to Bricks/Gutenberg), and complete site redesign migrations with URL structure changes.
Will I lose my SEO rankings during migration?
Not if done correctly. SEO preservation is our top priority. We create comprehensive 301 redirect maps, preserve URL structures where possible, maintain meta data, update internal links, and monitor Search Console closely post-migration to catch and fix any issues immediately.
How long does a website migration take?
Simple host migrations take 1–2 days. Platform migrations typically take 2–4 weeks depending on content volume and complexity. Large enterprise migrations with thousands of pages and custom functionality can take 4–8 weeks with thorough testing.
Will there be downtime during migration?
We plan migrations to minimize downtime—typically under 30 minutes for DNS-based migrations. We build the new site on a staging environment, test thoroughly, and switch over during low-traffic hours. For critical sites, we can achieve near-zero downtime.
Can you migrate my e-commerce store?
Yes. We migrate WooCommerce, Shopify, Magento, and other e-commerce platforms. We transfer products, categories, customers, orders, and reviews while maintaining SEO equity. Payment gateway and shipping integrations are reconfigured and tested.
What happens to my forms and leads during migration?
We ensure all forms are recreated and tested on the new platform before switchover. Lead data, contact form submissions, and CRM integrations are migrated and verified. No leads are lost during the transition.
Do you provide post-migration support?
Yes. Every migration includes 30 days of post-migration support. We monitor rankings, fix redirect issues, resolve any bugs, and ensure everything is stable. We also provide a detailed migration report documenting all changes made.
How much does website migration cost?
Host migrations start at ₹15,000. Platform migrations (e.g., Wix to WordPress) start at ₹75,000. Complex enterprise migrations with custom functionality and large content volumes are quoted after a thorough assessment of your current setup.

Migrate Your Site Without Downtime, Data Loss, or Ranking Drops
Most migration disasters aren't technical failures. They're planning failures: a missing redirect map, no rollback plan, tracking that vanishes at cutover. We map the risk before anyone touches production, so the move is boring instead of an emergency.

THE WORKING PROBLEM
Why most migrations go wrong
The visible symptom is rarely the whole problem. These are the failure points we look for before recommending tools, tactics, or a rebuild.
- Missing redirects
- Missing 301 rules and changed URL structures tank traffic the moment you launch. Google drops what it can no longer find.
- Attribution disappears
- Leads keep coming in but you can't tell where from, because tags and goals were never mapped before cutover.
- No backup strategy
- A backup you've never restored isn't a backup. When something breaks, you find out the copy was incomplete.
- No rollback plan
- Edge-case bugs always appear in production. Without a fallback sequence, your team scrambles while the site is down.
- DNS and SSL chaos
- Botched DNS propagation and missing SSL turn a clean cutover into hours of customers hitting security warnings.
- No real QA
- Forms, checkout, and key funnels break silently. Nobody tests them under real conditions until a customer complains.
WHAT THE SCOPE INCLUDES
What we handle for you
A controlled, reversible migration with the risk mapped first. Every critical flow verified before and after the switch.
Where you are → where you'll be
- Environment audit and full dependency inventory
- Backup strategy with verified, tested restores
- Redirect map and URL parity checklist for every page
- Tracking baseline snapshot captured before cutover
- DNS and SSL switch executed on a planned timeline
- Real-time QA on forms, checkout, and key funnels
- Search Console and GA4 health validation post-launch
- 48 to 72 hour stabilization and monitoring window
HOW THE WORK MOVES
Process and timeline
The work follows a clear sequence, so you can see what happens before, during, and after implementation.
- 01 Map the risk Tell us what's moving, when it must go live, and what cannot break. We map the risk before you spend on execution.
- 02 Plan the cutover You get a cutover runbook, a risk log, and a fallback sequence, so everyone knows the steps and the exits.
- 03 Execute and verify we run the migration in a controlled window and verify every critical flow before declaring it live.
- 04 Stabilize and monitor we watch errors, indexing, and performance for 48 to 72 hours until the stack settles.
WHY THIS HOLDS UP
Migration done the boring way
The best migration is the one nobody notices. No traffic dip, no broken checkout, no "why did our leads stop?" message a week later.
That only happens when the risk is mapped first. We plan the redirect map, the rollback, and the tracking baseline before anyone touches production, then execute in a controlled window with live QA on the flows that pay you. Pair it with security hardening and technical SEO and you launch stronger than you started.
WHAT THE SCOPE INCLUDES

DECISION QUESTIONS
Website Migration Services FAQ
These answers cover fit, scope, delivery, and ownership before we discuss a proposal.
What does a website migration include?
Moving your site to a new host, server, domain, or platform with a full backup, staging test, careful data transfer, 301 redirect mapping, SEO preservation, and post-migration checks. The aim is a clean move where visitors and search engines notice nothing but, ideally, better speed.
Will migrating hurt my SEO or rankings?
Not when it's done right. The risks, lost redirects, changed URLs, missing metadata, dropped pages, are all preventable. We map 301 redirects, preserve URL structure and metadata, and crawl the new site to catch issues, so rankings hold. Rankings drop when migrations skip these steps.
Can you migrate from Wix, Squarespace, or Blogger to WordPress?
Yes. Platform migrations to WordPress are common, and we preserve your content, structure, and SEO in the move, then set up the new site to be faster and more flexible than what you're leaving. Redirects ensure existing links and rankings carry over.
Will my site go down during migration?
Downtime is minimized to near zero. We build and test on staging, then cut over cleanly, often with DNS handling that keeps the site available throughout. For most migrations, visitors never see an outage.
What if something goes wrong during migration?
There's always a full backup and the original site stays live until the new one is verified, so there's a safe fallback. Nothing is deleted until the migration is confirmed working, which means a problem is a rollback, not a disaster.
How long does a website migration take?
A straightforward host move can be a day or two; a platform migration with content restructuring takes longer. We scope it after reviewing your current setup and give a clear timeline, including the testing and verification steps that protect your SEO.
