A migration nobody notices is a migration done right.

We plan the move, test it in parallel and cut over when it's ready, not when the calendar says so.

The site moved over the weekend. On Monday the contact form goes nowhere, half the old URLs return 404s and nobody in the office can send email. Migrations go wrong in the details, and the details are knowable in advance. We map what exists, rebuild it on the other side, verify it while the current setup is still live, then cut over at a time that suits your business.

// what we do

Migration: what we do

  • Hosting & server migration

    Moving between providers or onto a new server, with the new environment built and tested before anything points at it.

  • Email migration

    Mailboxes copied across with folder structure and history intact, MX cutover timed so mail keeps flowing, SPF, DKIM and DMARC correct on the other side.

  • Domain & DNS transfers

    Registrar transfers, DNS rebuilt record by record and TTLs lowered ahead of the move so the switch propagates quickly.

  • Platform migrations

    Moving between CMS and ecommerce platforms: WordPress, WooCommerce, Shopify, PrestaShop, Wix and others. Content, products and customer data come with you.

  • URL redirect mapping

    Every old URL crawled and mapped to its new home before launch, so the rankings and links you've built up survive the move.

  • Access & ownership recovery

    Tracking down domains, hosting and accounts held by a previous agency or developer, and getting them back into your name.

  • Post-migration verification

    Forms, checkout, mail flow, redirects, analytics and Search Console checked after cutover, then monitored while DNS settles.

// what to expect

What good looks like.

// before

Your hosting is slow or unreliable, but moving feels riskier than staying put

// with us

The move is planned, tested in parallel and reversible, so the risk is something you can see rather than guess at

// before

You've been told a new platform will fix your problems, without anyone checking what's causing them

// with us

The cause gets diagnosed first, so you find out whether moving actually solves it before you commit

// before

A previous migration lost your search rankings and nobody could explain why

// with us

Redirects mapped from a full crawl of the old site, then monitored after launch so anything missed gets caught early

Rankings lost in a migration usually trace back to missing or broken redirects. Old URLs that return 404s throw away the links and authority those pages had earned.

// before

Your domain, hosting and email sit in accounts you don't control

// with us

Everything consolidated into accounts in your name, documented so you know what you're running and where

// how it works

Our migration process

Every migration project follows a clear structure, so you always know what's happening and what's next.

  1. Audit & inventory

    Map what exists now: hosting, domains, DNS records, mailboxes, URLs, integrations and who currently controls each one.

  2. Migration plan

    Decide what moves, what gets rebuilt and what is better left alone, with a cutover window and a rollback path agreed before anything starts.

  3. Parallel build

    The new environment is set up and populated while the current one stays live, so it can be tested properly instead of in production.

  4. Redirect mapping & testing

    Old URLs crawled and mapped to their new destinations, then the whole setup tested end to end: forms, checkout, mail flow and integrations.

  5. Cutover & verification

    DNS switched at an agreed time, then checked and monitored while it propagates. The new setup is documented and handed over afterwards.

// the advantage

The right move, or none at all.

Sometimes the right answer is not to migrate at all. We look at what's actually causing the problem first, and if moving hosts or platforms won't fix it, we'll say so before you've spent anything. When a move is the right call, the person who planned it runs the cutover, so there's no gap between what was agreed and what happens on the night. Afterwards you get the new setup documented and in your name, access and accounts included.

// how we're different

A different way of working.

// typical agency
  • A rotating cast of people on your account
  • Upsells everything, even when you don't need it
  • Work only they can maintain or explain
  • Performance and accessibility are afterthoughts
  • Account managers between you and the work
  • Discovery, quote, then silence until launch
// uWeb
  • The same people from first call to launch
  • We'll tell you when a simpler option is the right one
  • Clean handover: documented, in your name, yours to keep
  • Fast, accessible and indexable by default
  • Direct line to the people building it
  • You see progress as it happens, at a cadence agreed up front

Common questions

Will we lose our Google rankings?
That's the main risk in any migration, and it's largely preventable. We crawl the existing site, map every URL to its new destination and put those redirects live with the move, then watch Search Console and rankings afterwards. Some fluctuation while search engines recrawl is normal. A lasting drop usually means redirects were missed.
How much downtime should we expect?
Usually minimal to none. The new environment is built and tested while the old one is still serving traffic, so the switch itself is a DNS change made at a quiet time for your business. How quickly it takes effect depends on your records and TTLs, which we lower in advance.
Can you do just the migration, without anything else?
Yes. Many of the migrations we run are standalone: a hosting move, a domain switch, a mailbox migration or a platform change for a site someone else built and maintains. There's no requirement to move your ongoing work to us afterwards.
Our previous agency holds the domain and hosting and isn't responding. Can you help?
Often, yes. Domain ownership can usually be established and recovered through the registrar, and a site can be rebuilt from what's publicly available if the original files are genuinely unreachable. We'll tell you which of those situations you're in after looking at it.
Which platforms can you migrate between?
WordPress, WooCommerce, Shopify, PrestaShop, Magento, Wix, Squarespace and others, in most directions. If a platform holds your content or your products, there's usually a way to get it out cleanly. We confirm the data exports properly before quoting.
What happens to our email during the move?
Mailboxes are copied to the new host with folder structure and history intact, then MX records switch once that copy is verified. A final sync catches anything that arrived during the switch. SPF, DKIM and DMARC are configured on the new host so mail keeps being delivered.
