Why move off Wix or Squarespace?
Hosted builders are easy to start with. The trouble comes later. You rent the platform, so the price and the features are set by someone else. Exporting your site is hard or impossible. And as the business grows, the limits start to cost you.
WordPress fixes that because you own it. You can host it anywhere, add any feature, and hire any developer.
Which platforms do you migrate from?
| From | What moves | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Wix | Pages, images, blog posts | Full redirect mapping |
| Squarespace | Pages, images, blog posts | Rankings kept |
| GoDaddy builder | Pages and content | No downtime |
| Weebly | Pages and content | Content intact |
| Shopify | Products and orders | Moves to WooCommerce |
Every migration includes redirect mapping, whatever the source. If your platform isn’t listed, ask. Most sites can be moved.
What does a migration cost?
Migrations start at $1,500 and include 30 days of support after launch. Larger sites, stores and sites with custom features cost more. We give you a fixed quote after looking at your current site, so there are no surprises. After the move, you stop paying the old builder’s plan. Many owners find that managed WordPress hosting at $29 a month costs less than the builder plan they left.
What do I need to do?
Very little. We need access to your current site and your domain registrar, the company where your domain is registered. We need about 30 minutes of your time to review the preview before launch. We handle the rest: rebuilding pages, moving images, mapping redirects, switching DNS and testing every form. You keep running your business while we work.
How we move your site
- Inventory
We list every page, image, form and URL on your current site.
- Rebuild on WordPress
We rebuild the pages on WordPress on a private preview link, with your content intact.
- Map redirects
Every old URL gets a permanent redirect to its new home, so search rankings carry over.
- Switch over
We point your domain at the new site with no planned downtime and test every form.
- Support
For 30 days after launch we fix anything that comes up, at no extra cost.
Common questions
Will I lose my Google rankings if I switch to WordPress?
Not if the redirects are done right. We map every old URL to its new page with a permanent (301) redirect, which tells Google where the content went. Google’s own site-move guidance recommends exactly this. Expect small ranking wobbles for a few weeks while Google recrawls. Pages that keep their content and get a redirect usually settle back where they were.
Can you move a Shopify store to WooCommerce?
Yes. We move products and orders across, then rebuild the checkout, shipping and tax rules on WooCommerce. Store migrations take longer than brochure sites because every product, variation and payment path needs testing. We quote them after a look at your catalogue. Most stores also need their payment processor reconnected.
What about my domain and email?
Your domain stays yours, and we keep it registered in your name. If your email runs through your old builder, we plan the email move too so nothing gets lost. We change your DNS records carefully, one at a time, so your website and inbox keep working throughout the switch.
