What Your Website Migration Includes

Our migration service is for owners leaving a platform they have outgrown. We also help owners concerned that pages, forms, links, or rankings could break during the move.

Your content moves with you.

We transfer your website pages, written content, images, media, and necessary files to the new platform.

Your design stays familiar.

We recreate or preserve established layouts so the moved website remains familiar to returning visitors.

Redirects protect existing paths.

We map existing URLs and add redirects so search engines and visitors reach the correct pages.

We test before launch.

We test pages, forms, links, menus, integrations, and key functions before the new website launches.

We prepare the switch.

We prepare the switch in advance to keep the final transition as short as practical.

Support continues after launch.

We remain available after launch to investigate migration-related problems and correct anything we missed.

What a migration protects. A managed migration protects your content, URLs, working functions, and established website structure during the move.

What it does not do. A migration does not help your website compete for new rankings, but it protects the rankings you already have.

Why Choose a Managed Website Migration

A website migration involves more than copying files and a database to another server. The move also requires URL planning, redirects, testing, launch coordination, and follow-up checks.

Managed migration with AJT

  • We map every existing URL and create the necessary redirects.
  • We test forms and integrations against their working live versions.
  • We check the complete website on staging before making the switch.
  • One person remains accountable if anything needs correction after launch.

Plugin or automated transfer

  • An automated tool moves files and a database without creating your redirect map.
  • Broken forms and integrations can fail without producing an obvious warning.
  • The transferred website can go live without a complete staging review.
  • You may discover migration problems after rankings or traffic begin falling.

The honest tradeoff. A host migration tool can be reasonable for a small, static website built recently with few pages and no integrations. A managed migration becomes more useful as the website grows more complex. Moving a badly outdated website only relocates the existing problems, so rebuilding can sometimes be the better use of your money.

How Your Website Migration Works

We audit your current website, complete the move, test the result, and manage launch.

01


Audit & Planning

We review your website, hosting, URLs, forms, integrations, and migration risks.

02


Migration & Setup

We prepare the new environment and transfer the website content and files.

03


Testing & Quality Check

We test pages, redirects, forms, integrations, and layouts before approving the switch.

04


Launch & Support

We manage the final switch and address migration-related problems after launch.

Your website lands on our WordPress Website Hosting. Ongoing maintenance is available separately.

Why Work with AJT

Your contact stays the same.

The designer moving your website is the person you talk to afterward. You do not have to explain the migration again to someone new.

You approve the switch date.

We agree on the launch schedule before the final move begins. Your website does not switch whenever the work happens to be ready.

Experience guides the move.

More than 15 years of website experience informs our planning and decisions. That background includes years spent managing complex website work at larger agencies before AJT was established.

Common Questions

Migration pricing depends on your website platform, size, integrations, and redirect requirements. We provide a clear fixed quote before any migration work begins. Your website is hosted with us after the move, billed separately at $45 per month or $450 per year. Our article explains what small business websites cost.

The final switch can cause a short interruption while domain and server changes take effect. We plan the switch in advance, test the new website first, and stay available while the change completes.

We map your existing URLs and redirect old addresses to their matching new pages. Those redirects help preserve the relevance and authority your pages have earned, although normal ranking changes can still occur.
