Migration is high-stakes work. The team behind it matters as much as the process.
Highly Skilled Team
Every migration is delivered by our in-house web developers and project managers. No freelancers, no offshore handoffs. Your team gets direct access to the people doing the work.
SEO at the Core
We protect your url structure, redirect every page, and monitor rankings post-launch so your organic traffic stays intact. Search engines see a clean transition with zero confusion.
Marketing-First Approach
We safeguard conversion paths, Google Analytics tracking, and campaign performance during every move. Most agencies focus on files and databases. We focus on your business outcomes.
100+ Five-Star Reviews
Over 1,200 projects shipped for clients across retail, finance, B2B, and professional services. Our clients stay because we deliver consistently, and our reviews reflect that trust.
Transparent, Fixed-Fee Pricing
Every migration is scoped with a fixed fee before work begins. No surprise invoices, no hidden charges, and no lock-in contracts. Your plan stays flexible as requirements evolve.
Built for Scale
Large content libraries, complex integrations, and multi-language setups are part of our regular workload. We build migration solutions around your architecture to meet your specific needs.
Australian Support
Based in Sydney with a dedicated team in Kathmandu, we operate during Australian business hours. Phone, email, or chat. You'll always reach someone who knows your project inside out.
Post Migration Support
The first 30 days after launch are critical. We maintain and monitor your site through this window, catching issues early so your team doesn't inherit problems from the move.

Our Website Migration Services
Domain and Hosting Migration
Whether you're changing your domain, switching your web hosting service, or doing both at once, we handle the full move. DNS, redirects, and a new hosting service are all managed so your site lands cleanly.
Multi-Site Consolidation
Managing multiple websites across different hosts or platforms creates unnecessary overhead. We consolidate your properties into a single setup with shared infrastructure, cleaner architecture, and one team.
Post-Migration Optimisation
Migration is the perfect time to address performance issues that have built up. We benchmark before and after, then fine-tune speed, caching, and Core Web Vitals so your site runs faster than before.
Migration Recovery
Failed migrations from other agencies or DIY attempts are part of our regular workload. Broken pages, missing content, dropped rankings. We diagnose what went wrong and complete the move properly.
Website Redesign
Launching a fresh design alongside a platform or hosting change adds real complexity. We manage both in parallel, keeping your current website live while the new version is built and refined in staging.
eCommerce Migration
Online stores carry extra risk during any move. Orders, customer accounts, payment gateways, and inventory all need to transfer accurately. We migrate across platforms and verify every checkout path.
Upgrade Your Platform Without the Risk
Your CMS has an expiry date. You can feel it. Drupal needs a specialist just to change a heading. Joomla hasn't had a meaningful update in months. The platform that got you here is now the thing holding you back.
Migrating your website to a new platform fixes all of that. Migration involves moving your entire website, content, data, integrations, SEO settings, everything, from one environment to another.
When it's handled well, the benefits land fast. Faster pages, a CMS your team can actually use, and hosting that scales instead of struggling.
On the other hand, sloppy migrations create downtime, break forms, and send visitors to dead pages. We've watched it happen to Australian businesses that tried to handle the move solo or hired someone who treated it like a weekend job.
We keep your existing website accessible throughout. Your team reviews everything in staging, signs off, and gets a WordPress site or whichever CMS fits, fully configured and ready to grow.

The Migration Checklist We Run on Every Project
Most migration providers move your website files and database, then call it done. But a website is more than files. It's tracking codes, form logic, redirect rules, user permissions, and dozens of small configurations that quietly break when nobody checks them.
We verify every element listed below against your original site before the switch happens. Your team gets full access to review everything in staging. Nothing goes live until every item is confirmed.
Full Database and Content
User Accounts and Access Levels
Design Templates and Themes
Forms, Tracking, and Analytics
Media Library and Uploaded Files
Custom Features and Integrations
SEO Settings, Redirects, and Sitemaps
URL Structure and Internal Links
SEO That Improves Through the Migration
Preserving your rankings is the bare minimum. We aim higher.
A professional migration service should leave your site in better shape than where it started. That's how we approach every seo migration process we take on.
Before any site files move, we audit your indexed pages, crawl paths, and backlink profile. We export a complete map of your URL structure, internal links, and metadata. Every redirect is built manually and tested.
If you're consolidating properties or moving to a new site on a subdomain, we handle the complexity so search engines understand exactly what changed.
After launch, we actively improve what we find. Legacy redirect chains get cleaned up. Crawl issues that existed before the migration get fixed. Architecture gets tightened.
Most clients see rankings stabilise within two weeks. Many see measurable gains because the entire process included SEO work that should have been done years ago.

Initial Assessment
We review your existing website, hosting environment, and technical setup. By the end, your team has a documented scope with clear milestones.
Platform Setup
Your new hosting or CMS environment is provisioned and configured. If the new hosting provider runs a different stack, we resolve compatibility issues here.
Content and Data Mapping
Every page, database record, and media asset is catalogued and matched to its destination. Redirect strategies are locked in before anything moves.
Build in Staging
The full migration is executed in a protected staging environment. Your team receives a preview link to walk through the site and flag anything that needs adjusting.
Testing and Validation
Redirects, sitemaps, meta tags, analytics, and conversion tracking are verified. Cross-browser and cross-device checks confirm everything performs as expected.
Go-Live
DNS cutover is managed with precision. We monitor traffic in real time and confirm every page resolves correctly on the new server.
Post-Launch Care
We actively monitor your site for 30 days. Speed, crawl health, broken links, and key user journeys are tracked and addressed before you need to raise a ticket.
Site and Platform Review
We review your hosting, CMS, and technical stack to flag risks and dependencies that could affect the move.
Migration Roadmap
We outline the scope, key risks, timeline, and resources required so your team can plan with confidence.
Recommended Next Steps
We deliver a fixed-fee proposal with clear pricing and defined milestones. The plan is yours, whether or not we work together.

Website Migration FAQs
If you've got questions or need more help, please send us a message.
It depends on what’s moving and how complex your setup is. A straightforward hosting transfer typically runs $500 to $1,500 AUD. CMS platform switches, redesign migrations, and structural overhauls range from $5,000 to $50,000+, depending on scope, content volume, and custom features.
Every project we take on is quoted at a fixed fee before work begins. Transparent pricing, no lock-in contracts, and no surprise invoices after launch.
Yes. This is more common than you’d think. We regularly step in when a migration has stalled, gone sideways, or been abandoned mid-project. Broken pages, missing content, dropped rankings. We diagnose what went wrong, stabilise the environment, and finish the job properly.
If your previous provider left things in a messy state, we can assist with getting everything back on track. Most recovery projects are scoped within a few days of our first conversation.
SEO is built into every stage. Before anything moves, we audit your indexed pages, map every URL, and build a redirect strategy that preserves your link equity. Internal links, canonical tags, sitemaps, and metadata are all carried over or improved.
After launch, we monitor rankings and crawl errors daily for 30 days. If something shifts, we catch it early. Most clients see positions stabilise within two weeks, and many see measurable improvements because the migration included SEO work that was overdue.
Every migration runs through a staging environment before launch. Your team gets a preview link to review the full site, test forms, check layouts, and confirm everything works as expected. We also run cross-browser and cross-device testing on our side. Redirects, sitemaps, analytics tracking, and security configurations are all verified in staging.
Every migration includes 30 days of dedicated post-launch monitoring. Speed, crawl health, broken links, and key conversion paths are all tracked. That peace of mind is built into every project.
For teams that want ongoing support beyond that window, our care plans provide a smooth transition into long-term website maintenance. Same team, same context. The developers who migrated your site are the same people who keep it running.
We’ve handled migrating websites from virtually every platform. WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, Sitecore, Kentico, Umbraco, Magento, Shopify, BigCommerce, Squarespace, Wix, and custom-built systems. We can also import content from legacy platforms that no longer have active support.
If your site runs on cPanel shared hosting, a managed VPS, or dedicated infrastructure, we adapt the migration workflow to your hosting environment. If we haven’t listed your platform, contact us, and we’ll confirm whether we can support it.
Absolutely. Migration is the ideal window to address issues that have been building up. We benchmark your current load times and Core Web Vitals, then optimise the new environment for speed, caching, and server response.
Many clients see measurable performance gains after migration simply because the new setup is cleaner and purpose-built. If deeper work is needed beyond the migration scope, we can roll that into the project or handle it through our ongoing care plans.
Yes. We’ve managed large-scale projects migrating multiple sites across different hosts and platforms in coordinated sequences. Each site gets its own staging, QA, and launch cycle so one issue doesn’t cascade into the others.
We don’t offer a free migration service bundled with hosting. Those free migration offers from hosting companies typically cover the basics, your files and database, and nothing else. No redirect mapping, no SEO verification, no post-launch monitoring. If something breaks, you’re on your own.
What we do offer is a free consultation and website audit. We’ll scope the migration, outline the risks, and deliver a fixed-fee proposal. Our professional service covers the full picture, and we back every project with a full refund guarantee if we don’t deliver what was agreed. For businesses that care about their rankings and revenue, that’s the difference worth paying for.
Book a free consultation, and we’ll scope your migration within the week. From there, most projects kick off within one to two weeks, or faster if your situation is urgent.
