Migrations & Upgrades
Move hosts, platforms or PHP versions with zero lost content and minimal downtime.
Slow hosting, an aging platform, or a site stuck on an old version of PHP all hold your business back. A migration fixes that, but only if it's done carefully: one missed redirect or forgotten email record can cost rankings and messages.
We've moved sites from static HTML, classic ASP, Yahoo Small Business and other platforms into WordPress, and moved WordPress sites onto faster, more reliable hosts. We plan the move, test on staging, preserve your URLs and SEO with proper redirects, and handle DNS, SSL and email so the switch is invisible to your visitors.

Questions about migrations & upgrades
Typically not. We build and test on the new host first, then switch DNS outside of business hours when everything checks out, so visitors see little to no downtime.
Not with a proper migration. We keep URLs where possible and create 301 redirects where they change, then monitor Search Console after launch.
Sam has worked on two of my companies sites and has done great work. He is super responsive, always willing to help when things that I am not techy enough to understand are happening, and was super patient while I was still learning how website design and hosting works. Would highly recommend Sam!
