About This Service
Website migration is one of the most technically complex operations in web management — and one of the riskiest when done poorly. A poorly planned migration can result in hours of downtime, broken URLs, lost email, corrupted databases, and significant drops in search rankings. At WebCraftera LLP, we treat every migration as a high-stakes operation that requires meticulous planning and execution.
Our migration process begins with a comprehensive pre-migration audit — crawling your entire site to catalogue every URL, mapping the folder structure, documenting all configurations, and identifying any existing technical issues. We create a complete migration plan before touching a single file.
We use a staging-first approach: the entire migration is completed and tested on the new server before any DNS changes are made. This means your live site continues running perfectly throughout the entire migration process. Only once we've verified everything works correctly on the new environment do we initiate the DNS cutover.
SEO preservation is a priority in every migration. We generate a complete 301 redirect map for any URL structure changes, ensure proper canonical tags, re-submit sitemaps in Google Search Console, and monitor your organic rankings for 30 days post-migration. Our track record of zero ranking drops speaks to the precision of our approach.
Technologies We Use
Our migration toolkit for safe, seamless transfers between any platform or host
Our 6-Step Migration Process
Pre-Migration Audit
Complete audit of your current site — crawling all URLs, mapping the site structure, documenting plugins/themes, and identifying any existing technical issues to avoid migrating problems.
Backup & Preparation
Full backup of your website files, database, and email. Setting up the destination environment and installing all required software, before touching the live site.
Staging Migration
Moving all files, databases, media, and configurations to the new environment first — testing everything thoroughly in staging before any DNS changes.
DNS Cutover
Updating DNS records with minimal TTL to reduce propagation time. Timing the cutover during low-traffic hours to minimise any brief transition period.
Post-Migration Testing
Comprehensive testing after DNS propagation — checking all pages, forms, checkout flows, email, SSL, and media to ensure everything functions correctly on the new environment.
SEO Monitoring
Verifying all 301 redirects are working, re-submitting sitemaps in Google Search Console, monitoring rankings for 30 days, and resolving any crawl errors that appear.
What Our Clients Say
