Website Migration

Moving Your Website? We'll Make Sure Nothing Gets Left Behind.

Migrating a website sounds straightforward — until you’re halfway through and realise you’ve lost three years of blog content, your contact forms have stopped working, and your Google rankings have dropped off a cliff.

Website migration is one of the riskiest things you can do to an established website if it’s not handled correctly. Done properly, it’s completely seamless — your visitors notice nothing, your Google rankings stay intact, and your business keeps running without a hiccup.

At Lumkora Digital Agency, we’ve made website migration a science. We plan every step, protect every page, and move your entire digital presence to its new home without losing a single thing that matters.

Who This Service Is For

– Businesses moving from a DIY website builder (Wix, Squarespace, GoDaddy) to a professional platform
– Companies switching hosting providers for better performance or value
– E-commerce businesses moving from one platform to another (e.g. WooCommerce to Shopify)
– Businesses that have outgrown their current platform and need something more powerful

Our Migration Process

We audit your existing website in full — cataloguing every page, URL, media file, integration, and configuration.

We map out the complete migration plan — including the full 301 redirect map, DNS change schedule, and rollback plan in case anything unexpected happens.

We build and test the migrated site in a private staging environment before anything goes live. You review and approve it.

We execute the migration during a low-traffic period, minimising any impact on your visitors. DNS changes are made carefully and monitored in real time.

We run our full post-migration checklist — pages, forms, redirects, integrations, email, speed — and only sign off when everything passes.

What we Handle

Moving from one CMS to another — from Wix to WordPress, from Squarespace to Shopify, from a bespoke system to WooCommerce — we manage the full transfer of content, structure, and functionality.

Switching hosting providers for better speed or lower costs? We handle the full server migration — databases, files, email configurations, and DNS settings — with minimal downtime and no data loss.

Every page, post, product, image, and user record is transferred accurately and completely. We don't copy and paste — we migrate properly, preserving all your data in its original structure.

This is where most DIY migrations go wrong. When URLs change during a migration, Google loses track of your pages — and your rankings can disappear overnight.We create a comprehensive 301 redirect map before a single file is moved, ensuring every old URL points correctly to its new equivalent. Your organic rankings are protected from day one of the new site being live.

Once the migration is complete, we don't just hand it over and walk away. We run a full checklist — testing every page, every form, every link, and every integration — to confirm everything is working exactly as it should be before we go live.

Frequently Asked Questions
