Website Migration
Change platforms or hosts without losing what you built.
Most owners know their site should move, to a better platform, a faster host, off a system only one company can touch, but they are scared of losing their content or their rankings in the process. That fear is fair. A botched migration can hurt. A planned one does not, and that is the difference we focus on.
A migration planned to protect what matters
We move websites to new platforms and hosts with a plan built to preserve your content and your search rankings. That means a full inventory before we touch anything, careful content preservation, 301 redirects mapped from old URLs to new, DNS handled cleanly, and SEO preservation checked throughout. Nothing important gets left behind.
This is part of our Orange County web design work and often pairs with other projects, since a move is a natural time for a website redesign.
Why sites get moved
Owners come to us for a migration for a handful of reasons, and each one shapes the plan.
Full Inventory First
We map your current site, every page, URL, and asset, before anything changes, so nothing gets lost or forgotten in the move.
301 Redirects Mapped
Every old URL gets mapped to its new home, so search engines and visitors following an old link land exactly where they should.
Clean DNS Handling
DNS is handled cleanly and scheduled carefully, so the switch happens with minimal downtime and your site stays available to visitors.
Off a Closed Platform
Some owners are stuck on a closed platform only their old provider can touch. We rebuild or transfer your site onto a system you actually own.
A Faster, More Reliable Host
Some businesses simply need a faster, more reliable host, and the migration is the chance to fix performance at the root.
SEO Preservation, Checked Throughout
After launch we watch rankings and traffic to confirm the move went clean, catching anything that needs attention early rather than after damage is done.
What to expect
We start by mapping your current site, every page, URL, and asset, then plan the move and the redirects before anything changes.
We migrate, point DNS, and test carefully so the site stays available. After launch we watch rankings and traffic to confirm the move went clean.

Website SupportWebsite migration questions we hear
Will migration affect my SEO?+
It can if it is rushed, but a planned migration protects your SEO. We preserve your content, map 301 redirects from old URLs to new, and handle DNS carefully, then monitor rankings after the move. Done properly, your search presence carries over with little to no disruption.
How long does a website migration take?+
Most migrations take from a few days to a few weeks, depending on the size of the site and how different the new platform is. We plan the steps in advance and schedule the switch to keep downtime minimal and your site available to visitors.
Can you move my site off a platform only my old provider controls?+
Yes. Getting owners off closed platforms they cannot control is one of the most common moves we make. We rebuild or transfer your site onto a system you actually own, like WordPress, so you are never locked to a single provider again.
How much does a migration cost?+
Cost depends on the size of your site and the platforms involved. We scope it on a free consultation and give you a clear number before we begin.
Why choose The Art of Online Marketing?+
