Website Migration Services
Rebuild your WordPress website on a cleaner foundation, or move it to a new platform without losing the content, page addresses, and forms that are working for you.
Is Your WordPress Website Getting Harder to Manage?
If your website has become slow, difficult to update, or weighed down by plugins and an older page builder, moving everything over unchanged carries those problems forward.
Roe Digital has extensive experience with WordPress websites. We review your existing setup and recommend whether to rebuild it in a cleaner WordPress setup or move it to a platform such as Astro. Your useful content, important page addresses, forms, and features are part of that plan.
You may still have useful content and a design worth keeping. We look at what works, what needs improvement, and what is creating unnecessary maintenance before recommending a rebuild or platform change.
WordPress Rebuilds and Platform Migrations
Rebuild Your Website in WordPress
You may like WordPress and still need a better setup. We rebuild your website with a cleaner theme, move the content you want to keep, and review the plugins and features your business depends on, simplifying overlapping plugins and page-builder dependencies. Before work begins, we discuss what your team needs to edit and how the rebuilt site should work.Move Your WordPress Website to Astro
Many business websites mainly present services, share information, and generate inquiries. For those sites, Astro can offer a simpler foundation with fewer ongoing software dependencies. We rebuild the website, transfer the agreed content, recreate the forms and features it needs, and plan how future updates will happen.Move From Wix, Squarespace, or Another Platform
Moving off a website builder like Wix, Squarespace, or GoDaddy Website Builder? We can migrate your website to WordPress or another platform, carry over your pages, posts, and images, and redirect your old page addresses to the new ones.Choose the Right Platform for Your Business
You don't need to choose a platform before contacting us. We look at what your website does, who updates it, and what is making it hard to manage, then recommend whether a cleaner WordPress build or a move to another platform makes sense.
How We Protect Your SEO During a Website Migration
We plan around your existing content, important page addresses, and search visibility before we replace your website. Our migration process includes:
- Reviewing current pages, content, and available search performance data.
- Keeping useful page addresses where practical.
- Mapping changed addresses to relevant new pages with permanent redirects.
- Carrying over useful page titles, meta descriptions, headings, and image descriptions.
- Checking internal links, search engine access, and the sitemap.
- Reviewing Google Search Console after launch for indexing issues and unexpected changes.
These steps help protect the search visibility your website has built over time, although rankings can fluctuate after any website migration.
What Happens to Your Content and Features?
We review your pages, blog posts, images, downloads, forms, and other content before the build begins. Together, we decide what to keep, update, combine, or remove.
Pages, Posts, and Media
Useful text, blog posts, images, and documents move into the new website. We also identify outdated content and formatting that needs attention.Forms and Lead Delivery
Forms are rebuilt or reconnected as needed, then tested to confirm submissions reach the right people and visitors receive the intended confirmation.Custom Features and Integrations
Calculators, directories, maps, databases, and other specialized features are reviewed individually. Plugins don't automatically transfer to another platform, so we evaluate what each one does and the best way to support it on the new site.Content Editing
We discuss what your team needs to update and recommend an editing setup that fits your business. That may mean WordPress, another content management system, or having Roe Digital handle routine changes.
How Our Website Migration Process Works
Review your current website
We identify its content, features, editing needs, and migration concerns.
Choose the right approach
We recommend a platform and agree on what will move, change, or be rebuilt.
Build a review version
Your current website stays online while we prepare the replacement.
Test before launch
We check content, links, redirects, forms, and the mobile experience.
Launch and check the live site
We coordinate the switch and review the website afterward.
Migration, Redesign, or Modernization?
A migration is for websites that need a cleaner structure or a different platform. If you also want a new look, we can include a website redesign. If keeping a familiar appearance on newer technology is the priority, website modernization may be the simpler fit.
How Much Does Website Migration Cost?
Website migrations start at $2,000. The final price depends on the amount of content, design work, and features that need rebuilding.
Our free estimate tool takes a quick look at your current site and gives you an initial estimate. Then we discuss the details and provide a project quote before any work begins.
Website Migration FAQs
Will I lose my Google rankings?
We plan around your existing content, important page addresses, and search visibility. We preserve useful content, keep page addresses where practical, and set up redirects when addresses change. These steps help protect your search visibility, although rankings can fluctuate after a website migration.
How long does a website migration take?
It depends on the amount of content and the features involved. After we review your website and agree on the scope, we'll give you a timeline for your specific project.
Can I update the website myself?
Yes, if you want to. We'll recommend an editing setup that fits your team, or Roe Digital can handle routine changes for you.
Will my email keep working?
Your email records are separate from your website. When we change where your domain points, we keep your email records in place and confirm your email still works after launch.
Can I keep my domain name?
Yes. You can keep your existing domain name as long as you own it and have access to the account where it is registered. Moving or rebuilding your website does not require a new domain name.
Will my website go offline during the migration?
Your current website stays online while we build the replacement. We plan the launch to minimize disruption and check the live site after the switch.
Do I have to leave WordPress?
No. A cleaner WordPress rebuild may be the best fit for your business. We recommend a platform based on your content, features, editing needs, and ongoing maintenance.
Can you move my Wix or Squarespace website to WordPress?
Yes. We can migrate websites from Wix, Squarespace, and other website builders to WordPress or another platform, carrying over your content and redirecting your old page addresses.
Will I own the website afterward?
Yes. Once your project is paid in full, the website is yours, including the design, content, and code. A few custom features that run on Roe Digital's platform, such as our form handling, may not work if you move the site elsewhere. Any third-party licenses or subscriptions are explained as part of the project.
Can Roe Digital maintain the website after the migration?
Yes. We offer website maintenance for websites we build or migrate, and we recommend a plan based on the platform, features, and updates your site needs.
