Outgrown your website platform?

Why move
Why businesses switch to WordPress.
Website builders like Wix and Squarespace are great for getting started. But as your business grows, you start hitting walls. Limited customisation, poor SEO control, rising costs and no way to truly own your website.
WordPress powers over 40% of the internet for a reason. It gives you full control, genuine ownership and the flexibility to grow without hitting a ceiling.
You own your website
With WordPress, you own every file, every line of code and every piece of content. No platform lock-in, no hostage situation if you want to move.
Better SEO performance
WordPress gives you full control over your SEO. Clean URLs, metadata, schema, sitemaps and page speed with no platform limitations getting in the way.
Unlimited flexibility
No more workarounds or compromises. WordPress can be built to do exactly what your business needs, now and in the future.
No surprise price increases
Platform builders regularly increase their subscription costs. With WordPress, your hosting and support costs are predictable and under your control.
Speed and performance
A properly built WordPress site on quality hosting will outperform most website builder platforms on speed, load times and Core Web Vitals.
Platforms we migrate
We've seen them all.
No matter what platform you’re currently on, we can move you to WordPress properly.
Wix
Commonly outgrown by businesses that need more control over design, SEO and integrations. We see this one the most.
Squarespace
Beautiful templates, but limited customisation and restricted e-commerce. Businesses often hit the wall when they need something beyond the template.
Webflow
Powerful for designers, but complex for business owners to manage. We move clients who want a CMS they can actually use day to day.
OpenCart
Ageing e-commerce platform with limited support and declining plugin availability. WooCommerce offers a more supported, flexible alternative.
Joomla
Once popular, now increasingly difficult to find reliable developers and security support. WordPress is the natural next step.
Shopify
For businesses that don't need a full e-commerce platform and want a more flexible website with a small store, WordPress with WooCommerce makes more sense.
Two approaches
Keep your design or start fresh.
You don’t have to redesign your website just because you’re changing platforms. We offer both options.
Same Design, New Platform
Happy with how your site looks but frustrated by the platform? We rebuild your existing design in WordPress, matching the current look and feel as closely as possible.
- Current design replicated in WordPress
- All content migrated across
- Improved speed and SEO foundations
- Managed hosting and support included
- URL redirects to protect search rankings
Best for: businesses happy with their design who want a better platform.
Full Website Rebuild
If your site is several years old, built on outdated themes or page builders, or has accumulated technical debt, a rebuild is the smarter long-term investment. Start fresh on a modern, supported foundation.
- New design tailored to your business
- Content reviewed and restructured
- Built for speed, SEO and conversions
- Managed hosting and on-going support
- Training so you can manage content yourself
Best for: businesses that want a modern website that works harder for them.
How it works
From old platform to WordPress.
We handle the entire migration so you don’t have to worry about the technical side.
Review your current site
We look at your existing website, content, structure and any integrations. We'll let you know the best approach and provide a clear quote.
Design
If you're keeping your current design, we match it in WordPress. If you're redesigning, we work with you or our design partners to create something new.
Build and migrate
We build your new WordPress site and migrate all content. Everything is developed on a staging environment so your current site stays live until we're ready.
Review and test
You review the new site and we make adjustments. We test across devices, check all links, forms and integrations before anything goes live.
Go live
We handle DNS, SSL, URL redirects and the full cutover. Your old platform is replaced with your new WordPress site with zero downtime.
Hosting and support
Your new site launches on our managed hosting with backups, monitoring, updates and security all handled. We're here for the long term.
Every migration includes
What comes with the move.
Whether you keep your design or start fresh, every migration includes these as standard.
Content migration
All pages, images, documents and media transferred to your new WordPress site.
URL redirects
Old URLs redirected to new ones so you don't lose search rankings or break existing links.
SSL and security
SSL certificate, security configuration and malware scanning set up from day one.
Daily backups
Automatic daily backups from the moment your site goes live on our hosting.
Training
We show you how to update content, add pages and manage your new WordPress site.
On-going support
Need changes after launch? We're here. Ad-hoc or on a monthly support plan.
Common questions
Migration FAQs.
Questions we hear most from businesses considering a platform move.
Will my site go down during the migration?
No. We build your new WordPress site on a staging environment while your current site stays live. The switch happens once everything is tested and approved, with zero downtime.
Will I lose my Google rankings?
We set up proper URL redirects from your old pages to your new ones. This tells Google where everything has moved and protects your existing search rankings. Most clients see improved rankings once the new site is live thanks to better performance and SEO foundations.
Can you migrate my online store?
Yes, for small to medium-sized stores we can migrate to WooCommerce. This includes products, categories and images. For larger or more complex stores with advanced integrations, we work with trusted e-commerce partners.
How long does a migration take?
It depends on the size of your site and whether you’re keeping your design or redesigning. A straightforward rebuild of an existing design is typically faster than a complete redesign. We provide a realistic timeline during the quoting stage.
Do I need to cancel my old platform myself?
Yes, but only after the new site is live and confirmed working. We’ll let you know exactly when it’s safe to cancel your old subscription. We can guide you through the process if needed.
What if I'm not sure which option is right for me?
That’s exactly what the initial consultation is for. Send us your current website URL and we’ll review it, then recommend whether a like-for-like rebuild or a full redesign makes more sense for your business.
