A poorly planned website migration can lead to broken links, lost rankings and lost revenue. Pages disappear from search results, customers land on error pages, and rebuilding that visibility can take months.
Our website migration services in the UK are designed to prevent this. Whether you’re moving to a new domain, changing host or switching CMS, we take care of every technical step, from database backups and URL mapping to 301 redirects, testing and launch.
Webwise plans each migration around your search performance and business operations, so your site stays visible, your data stays safe and downtime stays minimal.
Website Migration Services for Every Business Need
Choose your type of move and see how we handle it.
Hosting & Server
We move your files, databases, and emails securely to a new host or cloud server, followed by rigorous testing before switching the DNS.
Platform & CMS
We transfer your pages, products, and media smoothly to a new platform while keeping your core URL structure intact.
Domain Change
We map old URLs to your new domain and set up strict 301 redirects so visitors and search engines land on the right pages.
Redesign
We check URLs, metadata, and internal links before launch to ensure your new design doesn’t hurt your existing search rankings.
What Does Website Migration Involve?
Website migration means moving your website to a new host, platform, domain or design. It is more than copying files. Your pages, URLs, redirects, DNS settings and SEO all need to be planned, tested and checked.
Our website migration services cover hosting and server moves, CMS and platform changes, domain updates and redesign launches. We back up your site, transfer your content and data, test everything before launch, and check your SEO afterwards.
The goal is simple: your website stays live, your pages stay visible in search, and your customers notice no problems after the move.

How Our Our Website Migration Process Works
We keep every migration simple and structured. Here’s what happens, step by step, from first audit to final SEO checks.
Audit and Planning
We review your current site, list your key URLs and content, and map old pages to new ones. You get a clear plan before any changes begin.
Backup and Transfer
We take a full backup, then move your files, content, databases and emails to the new host or platform.
Testing and Launch
We test links, forms, speed and mobile layout. Then we set up 301 redirects, update DNS and go live.
SEO Checks and Support
After launch, we check crawling, indexing and rankings, and fix any issues that appear to ensure a smooth transition.
What Happens to Your SEO During a Migration?
When URLs change, search engines can’t find your old pages. Without the right redirects, rankings drop, backlinks break and visitors land on error pages.
Missing metadata, broken internal links and sitemap errors can also stop pages from being indexed after launch.
Our SEO migration services start before the move. We audit your current site, map every important URL and set up 301 redirects before launch.
After go-live, we check crawling, indexing and rankings, so any issues are found and fixed early.

What is a website migration service?
A website migration service moves your website to a new host, platform, domain or design. It covers backups, content and data transfer, redirects, and testing, so your site keeps working and stays visible in search after the move.
Will website migration affect my Google rankings?
It can if the move isn’t planned properly. We reduce the risk by mapping your old URLs to the new ones, setting up 301 redirects and checking your site in search after launch. Small temporary changes in rankings can still happen while Google processes the move.
How long does a website migration take?
It depends on the size of your site, the platforms involved and how much content needs to move. Once we have reviewed your website, we will give you a clear timeline before any work begins.
Will my website be down during the migration?
We keep downtime to a minimum. Your current site stays live while the new one is prepared, and we update DNS once everything has been checked.
Is there a risk of data loss during website migration?
We back up your files, databases and content before making any changes, so there is always a copy to restore from. After the transfer, we check that your pages, images and data have moved across correctly.
Which platforms can you migrate?
We migrate websites to and from WordPress, WooCommerce, Shopify, Webflow, Wix, Squarespace and custom platforms. Tell us where your site is now and where you want it to go.
What happens after the migration is complete?
After launch, we monitor indexing, crawling and rankings, and fix any issues that appear. You can contact us if anything doesn’t look right on the new site.
