what is a website migration?

A website migration means moving your website to a new platform, domain or structure. Think of a switch of CMS, a new design or a move to a different URL structure. That sounds technical, and it is. But if you approach it properly, you as a visitor will (almost) not notice a thing.
Still, a lot can go wrong. Think of lost positions in Google, error messages, slow load times or poorly configured redirects. That's why a migration is not something you do “on the side”. It requires knowledge of technology, content and SEO. That's exactly where our strength lies.

our approach

Migrating a website isn't a matter of cutting and pasting. If you approach it properly, everything keeps working or even gets better. If you skip steps, you can lose value in terms of SEO, technology or user experience. We map everything out first, make a clear plan and carry out the migration step by step. So your site transfers smoothly, without surprises or loss of performance.

why a website migration?

A migration isn't a ‘nice to have’, but often necessary to move forward. For example because your CMS no longer fits, your website is technically outdated, or your brand or structure is changing. A redesign or a merger of two sites also involves a migration.

These are exactly the moments when you don't want to risk data loss, findability problems or technical errors. A good migration ensures continuity, better performance and a smooth transition for your visitors. We combine technical knowledge with content insight and SEO experience. That makes the difference between “moved over” and “properly migrated”.

frequently asked questions about a website migration

Here you'll find answers to the most frequently asked questions about migrating a website.
Will I lose my Google rankings during a migration?

Not if you do it properly. We make sure your current pages are redirected neatly (301 redirects), your structure is preserved and your SEO value carries over as much as possible.

Can you also handle the migration of a webshop?

Yes. We also migrate e-commerce platforms. We take products, categories, filters, data and tracking into account. We make sure your shop simply keeps running.

How long does a website migration take?

That depends on the size. A simple site can be migrated in one to two weeks. Larger or complex migrations we plan carefully, usually with a lead time of a few weeks.

Do you only work with certain CMS systems?

No. We have experience with WordPress, Webflow, Joomla, Shopify and custom platforms. Even if you're switching between systems, we make sure the handover goes smoothly.

Can I still access my website during the migration?

Yes. In many cases your existing site simply stays live during preparation. We build the new version in a test environment and only switch over once everything checks out.
