Migration

WordPress Migration Services

Move to WordPress, or to better hosting, without the downtime, the broken links, or the ranking drop that usually comes with it. We plan it so your visitors never notice.

The situation

Migration Is Where Sites Quietly Lose Their Rankings

A migration looks like moving files. It isn’t. Done carelessly, URLs change without redirects, pages drop out of Google’s index, and traffic you spent years earning disappears overnight, usually without anyone noticing until the numbers are already down.

The move itself is the easy part. Protecting the rankings, the redirects, and the structure through it is the work, and it’s the part most migrations skip.

Rankings drop

URLs change, redirects get missed, and Google loses track of pages that used to rank.

Things break in transit

Content, images, and functionality that worked on the old site don’t on the new one.

Downtime at the switch

The site goes dark during the move, right when visitors and customers are trying to reach it.

What we migrate

What a Migration Includes

01 · A migration plan

We map every URL, redirect, and risk before a single file moves

You get a plan that protects your rankings and your structure first, so the move is controlled.

Planning Before anything moves
Downtime None, built alongside live
Rankings Protected throughout
02

Full content migration

Pages, posts, images, and media moved over and checked.

03

Redirects & SEO

Every old URL mapped to its new one with 301s, so rankings and links survive the move.

04

Platform conversion

From Wix, Squarespace, a page builder, or Drupal? We rebuild it properly in WordPress.

05

Hosting migration

Moving to faster or more reliable hosting, set up, tested, and switched over cleanly.

Moving From Another Platform?

Changing hosts (WordPress to WordPress)

The most common move. Staying on WordPress but leaving a host that is slow, costly, or unreliable. We migrate and test the site, then switch DNS with no downtime, so visitors never notice.

Wix or Squarespace to WordPress

The usual reason people leave a builder is hitting its limits on SEO, flexibility, and cost, and wanting to own their site. Builders don’t export cleanly. We rebuild it in WordPress with content and structure intact.

HTML, static, or custom/legacy site to WordPress

Old hand-coded or custom-CMS sites moved into maintainable WordPress. Content preserved, structure modernized, so it’s finally easy to update.

Page builder to Gutenberg

On Elementor, Divi, or WPBakery and tired of the bloat and slow load times? We rebuild your pages in native Gutenberg blocks, lighter, faster, and free of the builder’s lock-in, without changing how the site looks.

Drupal or Joomla to WordPress

These are their own kind of complex, with content types, taxonomies, and modules that don’t map one-to-one. We rebuild the structure in WordPress, content type by content type. It takes more effort and returns more value.

Shopify to WooCommerce

Escaping Shopify’s monthly and transaction fees for a store you own on WooCommerce. Products, orders, and customers migrated across. (For a store built from scratch, see WooCommerce development.)

Why Coderlift

We Don’t Just Use WordPress. We Help Build It.

Six of our WordPress developers are core contributors to the platform itself. So when a migration hits the messy parts, custom post types, tangled redirects, a database that fights back, that’s the part we know best.

Hafijur Rahman, Head of Client Relations and Project Management Faisal Ahammad, Head of Support and AI Engineering Akramul Hasan, Head of Theme and WooCommerce Development Abdullah Al Arif, Head of AI Automation and Plugin Development Moin Ahmed, Head of Backend and AI Integrations Kausar Alam, Head of Accessibility and Quality Assurance Fardous Ahmed Rijon Ahmed Tawhid Sadman

We treat the rankings as the thing to protect. The migration runs alongside your live site and only switches over once it’s confirmed working, so there’s no window where you’re offline or exposed.

How it works

We Plan the Move Before We Make It

Audit & map

Every URL, redirect, and dependency catalogued before anything moves.

Build alongside

The new site built and populated next to your live one, never on top of it.

Test everything

Content, redirects, forms, and functionality checked against the old site, page by page.

Switch over

Flipped only once it’s confirmed working, with redirects live the moment it goes.

Your site stays live the whole way through, and nothing gets flipped until it’s proven.

What Clients Say After the Move

Projects delivered
for agencies & founders
S Bofill Founder and CEO, Bofilltech

Working with him has been amazing. He does an impeccable job each and every time and is flexible with my requests and always meets my deadlines. I highly recommended.

Clear communication, no surprises, and the site launched on the date we agreed. That alone puts them ahead of everyone we’d worked with before.

A Barham Director, Barham Digital
V Boutet Marketing Lead

They asked the questions nobody else asked before building anything. The result actually converts instead of just looking good.

FAQs

WordPress Migration FAQs

Anything not covered here, ask it in the brief and we’ll answer directly.

Rankings & Risk

Not when it’s done right. We map every URL to a 301 redirect and preserve structure, so your rankings are protected. Most lost rankings trace back to skipping that step.

No. We build and test the new site alongside your live one and only switch over once it’s confirmed working, so there’s no downtime window.

They keep working. Every old URL redirects to its new home, so inbound links, bookmarks, and search results all still land.

Platforms & Scope

Yes. Each has its own quirks, a builder’s locked export, Drupal’s content types, a custom system’s structure, and we rebuild each one in WordPress to fit its structure.

Yes, and it’s worth it. Elementor, Divi, and WPBakery add weight that slows the site down. We rebuild your pages in native Gutenberg blocks so the site looks the same but loads faster and isn’t tied to a builder’s license.

Yes. Host migrations are a common job. We move the site, test it, and switch DNS with no downtime.

We check it page by page against the old site, content, images, forms, and functionality, so nothing breaks in the move.

Process & Cost

Host moves take a day or two. Converting a large site from another platform takes longer. We give you a real timeline after a quick audit. No guessing.

It’s scoped to size and source platform, which is why you see ranges above. We confirm scope and price after the audit, before any work starts.

Almost nothing. We handle the move, and we just need access and a short window to confirm the switch with you.
