Website migration

Move platforms without losing content, continuity or control.

Website migrations can fail in quiet ways: missing content, broken redirects, lost metadata, changed forms, damaged analytics or operational integrations that were never documented. We plan the migration as a technical and content transition, not simply a file copy.

Where we add value

Website migration shaped around the problem, not a generic package

Every website migration requirement has a different starting point. We review the existing environment, the people who use it, the systems it depends on and the commercial outcome before deciding what should be built or changed.

That discovery matters because technical shortcuts often move cost into support, manual work or future redevelopment. Our aim is to make the solution understandable, maintainable and appropriate to the risk.

Inventory first

Identify pages, content types, forms, integrations, redirects and dependencies before moving anything.

SEO continuity

Preserve important URLs where possible and map deliberate redirects when structures change.

Data validation

Compare old and new content, metadata and functionality rather than relying on visual inspection alone.

Controlled cutover

Plan DNS, hosting, caches, certificates, deployment and rollback around the launch window.

What we can deliver

Practical website migration delivery from discovery through support

Midoriweb can own a complete workstream or integrate with an existing team. Scope can cover a new build, a defined improvement, recovery work or ongoing development capacity.

  • Content and URL inventory
  • CMS or platform mapping
  • Data and media migration
  • Redirect strategy
  • Form and integration validation
  • Analytics and tracking checks
  • Hosting/DNS cutover plan
  • Post-launch monitoring and issue resolution
How we work

Start with clarity, then build in controlled increments

We favour clear requirements, visible priorities and reviewable releases. Where uncertainty exists, we reduce it before committing to a large build.

Testing, documentation, version control, deployment planning and communication are treated as part of delivery rather than optional extras added at the end.

Technical coverage

Technology selected around the requirement

The exact stack depends on the current system and the work required. We can combine core Midoriweb expertise with specialists from our wider engineering team when a project needs additional skills.

Engagement options

Choose the level of ownership you need

Some clients need a complete managed project; others need experienced capacity inside an existing team. We support both models.

Managed project

Midoriweb owns an agreed scope, coordinates delivery and provides a clear route from discovery to release.

Specialist workstream

Bring us into one defined area such as frontend, backend, integrations, performance or infrastructure.

Team augmentation

Add one or more developers to increase capacity for a fixed period or ongoing roadmap.

Ongoing technical partner

Combine support, maintenance, improvements and roadmap delivery in a continuing engagement.

Frequently asked questions

Questions to consider before you start

Can you preserve our Google rankings?

No provider can guarantee rankings, but a disciplined migration can preserve URLs, metadata, content and crawlability while reducing avoidable SEO disruption.

Can you migrate to a different CMS?

Yes. We map content and functionality from the current system to the target platform.

Can the old and new site be tested in parallel?

Yes. A staging environment and structured validation plan are normally important.
