Our WordPress Migration Process
We understand that each project presents unique challenges and requirements, so our process is never one-size-fits-all. The migration process described below is an example, as your project may require adjustments.
-
Initial Consultation and Assessment
We start by understanding your specific needs, goals, and existing website infrastructure. Our experts conduct an audit of your website to find potential challenges and develop a customized migration plan (see more in WordPress website audit services).
-
Planning and Strategy
Based on the assessment, we develop a migration strategy. We determine the best migration method, whether it’s a manual migration, with a migration plugin, or a combination of both. We also create a staging environment where the migrated website can be tested without affecting the live site.
-
Data Migration
Before any transfer takes place, a full site backup is created. We carefully transfer all website files, including themes, plugins, and media, to the new server. We guarantee data integrity and accuracy throughout the migration process.
-
Theme and Plugin Integration
We install and configure your chosen theme and plugins. Then, our experts customize the website to match your desired design and functionality (see more in WordPress website design services).
-
Configuration and Adjustments
We update the wp-config.php file and other relevant configuration files to reflect the new server settings. Also, our experts update all website URLs and permalinks to ensure they are correctly pointing to the new server.
-
Deployment and Go-Live
We configure your domain settings, update DNS records, and set up email accounts on the new server. If required, we install and configure an SSL certificate to ensure a secure connection. Once testing is complete and approved, we deploy the migrated website to your live server during a low-traffic period to minimize downtime.
-
Post-Migration Support and Maintenance
We perform final checks of all functions and offer ongoing support and maintenance to address any post-migration issues and ensure optimal website performance.
