WordPress migration is more than moving files from one server to another. A successful migration keeps your content, functionality, URLs, database, media and important website settings working correctly in the new environment.
A migration involves several connected parts of a WordPress website. The transfer needs to account for the files, database, media, configuration and functionality that make the website work.
Different migration projects have different requirements. We account for the parts of your WordPress installation that need to remain connected after the move.
Pages, posts, settings, users, WooCommerce data and other database-driven content.
Images, documents, uploads, theme files, plugins and other website assets.
Relevant WordPress configuration, environment settings and server-specific requirements.
Forms, integrations, custom functionality and important user journeys that need verification.
The migration process is structured so the new environment can be prepared and checked before the existing website is switched over.
Review the existing WordPress installation, hosting environment and migration requirements.
Prepare the destination environment and establish the migration path.
Move the WordPress files, database, media and required configuration.
Check pages, forms, links, functionality, responsive layouts and important flows.
Complete the transition to the new environment and verify the live website.
A migration can affect more than hosting. Domain configuration, URLs, redirects, media paths, forms, integrations and other website dependencies need to be considered during the transition.
