Your site goes live on a new stack, and within 48 hours Google sees 127 broken redirects, duplicate title tags, and crawl errors your old sitemap never warned about. WordPress migration isn't dragging files between servers — it's rewiring your entire content architecture while keeping every backlink, conversion path, and search ranking intact. We map 301 redirects at the URL level, rebuild your schema markup for Next.js, migrate product variants without losing order history, and run visual regression tests on 200+ page templates before DNS cutover. Your team in Los Angeles gets a migration timeline with daily Slack updates, staging credentials within 72 hours, and a DNS switch that happens during your lowest-traffic window. The risk isn't moving — it's staying on a platform where every plugin update threatens your uptime and Core Web Vitals scores drop monthly.

Häufige Fragen
How long does a WordPress migration take?
Most migrations wrap up in 5–7 weeks. Simple brochure sites can ship in 3 weeks; large WooCommerce stores with thousands of products and custom integrations may run 8–10 weeks. We nail down the exact timeline during discovery so nothing catches you off guard.
Will I lose my Google rankings during migration?
No. We build a full 301 redirect map, migrate all meta data and structured markup, and verify SEO parity before cutover. After launch, we monitor Search Console daily for 30 days. Most clients see ranking improvements within 4–6 weeks as better Core Web Vitals kick in.
Can you migrate WooCommerce to Shopify?
Yes. We migrate products, variants, customer accounts, and order history from WooCommerce to Shopify or Shopify Plus. Payment gateway configurations, discount rules, and tax settings get rebuilt on the new platform. We run parallel testing to confirm checkout flows work before cutover.
What happens to my WordPress plugins after migration?
Plugin functionality gets rebuilt natively in your new stack. Contact forms become serverless functions, SEO plugins are replaced by built-in meta management, and caching plugins become unnecessary with edge deployment. We audit every active plugin during discovery and document exactly how each gets replaced.
Do you work with Los Angeles businesses on-site?
We're based in the LA area and available for in-person kickoffs, workshops, and training. Most day-to-day work happens over Slack and video calls, but we're happy to meet your team face-to-face when it matters.
What if I need to keep WordPress as my CMS?
Headless WordPress is a solid option. We decouple the frontend from WordPress, keeping the familiar admin your team already knows while serving a fast Next.js frontend. You get modern performance and security without putting your content team through a CMS retraining.
