Which platforms can you move from?
We move sites from the builders small businesses outgrow most often:
| Moving from | What moves across | Common reason to leave |
|---|---|---|
| Wix | Pages, images, blog posts | Speed and SEO limits |
| Squarespace | Pages, images, blog posts | Design limits, monthly fees |
| GoDaddy Website Builder | Pages, images | Few features, hard to grow |
| Weebly | Pages, images, blog posts | Few new features |
| Shopify | Products and orders | Monthly fees and app costs |
If your platform isn’t here, ask. Most can be moved.
Why does a 48-hour move matter?
A slow migration is a risky one. When a move drags on for weeks, content changes on the old site and gets lost, and nobody is sure which site is current. A short, planned window means one clean switch. Your customers never see a half-finished site.
What does keeping redirects intact mean?
A redirect is an instruction that sends anyone visiting an old URL to the new one. When a builder site moves, its URLs usually change. Without redirects, Google sees hundreds of missing pages, and customers following old links hit errors. We map each old URL to its new page, one by one.
What does $1,500 include?
The starting price covers a typical small-business site: design rebuilt on WordPress, content moved, redirects mapped, the domain switched, and 30 days of support. Larger sites and stores are quoted after we see them. You get a fixed price before anything starts. The migration itself takes about 48 hours, and your old site stays live until the new one is ready.
How a migration to WordPress works
- Inventory
We list every page, post, image and URL on your current site so nothing gets left behind.
- Build on WordPress
We rebuild the design on WordPress and move your content across, on a private preview link.
- Map redirects
Every old URL gets a permanent redirect to its new home, so links and rankings carry over.
- Switch over
We point your domain at the new site. Visitors see the new site without downtime.
- Support
For 30 days after launch, we fix anything that comes up at no extra cost.

Common questions
Will I lose my Google rankings if I move to WordPress?
Not if the move is done properly. The risk comes from broken URLs. We map a permanent (301) redirect for every old page, so search engines and old links find the new ones. We also keep your page titles and descriptions, submit a new sitemap, and watch for errors in the weeks after launch.
Can you move my online store from Shopify?
Yes. Products, customers and past orders can be moved to WooCommerce, the store plugin for WordPress. Store migrations are quoted separately, because they vary more than brochure sites. A shop with 20 products and one with 2,000 products are different jobs. We test checkout, taxes and shipping before the switch.
Do I keep my domain name?
Yes. Your domain stays yours. We point it at the new site on switch-over day, so visitors never see a gap. If the domain is registered through your old builder, like Wix or Squarespace, we help you transfer it to a registrar you control. Your business email keeps working throughout.
