Move your existing site without a redesign.
You keep the site you have. We copy it to our platform, test it on a private address, and switch it over only when it passes. Your rankings and your visitors follow.
The short answerWe move your existing website as it stands, with no redesign required. We test the copy before cutover, map every old address to its new one, and watch the site after launch.
Get the platform without rebuilding the site.
A rebuild is not the only way onto a better platform. If your site works, we keep it and change where it lives.
On our platform the site gets 99.99% uptime, nightly backups, weekly updates, and one-time-code sign-in. You also get the option to add Fred and search visibility work later, on a site we already run.
We support WordPress, Drupal, and static sites. See what hosting and security include.
Six steps, and nothing goes live untested.
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| 1. Inventory | We list every page, file, form, and feature on your current site, so nothing gets left behind. |
| 2. Copy | We copy the site to our platform. Your live site stays untouched and keeps serving visitors. |
| 3. Test on a private address | We check pages, forms, images, and speed on a private address that only your team and ours can see. |
| 4. Map redirects | Every old address that changes is pointed to its new one, so rankings and bookmarks carry over. |
| 5. Cutover | We switch your domain to the new site at a time we agree with you, after you approve the test copy. |
| 6. Watch after launch | We monitor the site, check the redirects, and fix anything that turns up. |

AFS Travelers moved from WordPress and got a rebuild.
AFS Travelers is a new client. We migrated the WordPress site and rebuilt it on our platform.
Some clients move first and rebuild later. Others want both at once. We do either, and you decide the order. See what every rebuild includes.
Cherie Gary of AFS Travelers is available as a reference on request.
Common questions about website migrations
Will my site go down during the move?
No. Your current site keeps serving visitors while we copy and test. The switch happens at cutover, at a time we agree with you.
Do I have to redesign my site?
No. We move the site as it stands. If you want a redesign, we can do it after the move or instead of it. See website builds.
Will I keep my search rankings?
That is the goal of the redirect mapping. Every old address that changes points to its new one. We watch the site after launch to catch anything we missed.
Which platforms can you move?
WordPress, Drupal, and static sites. If your site runs on something else, call 817-541-1750 and we will tell you whether it can move.
How long does a migration take?
It depends on the size of the site and what it does. We give you a schedule after the inventory step. [Typical migration length to confirm]
What does a migration cost?
Migrations are [$ price or included with hosting]. Hosting is $199 a month per site. See pricing. Every engagement starts with a 180-day commitment, then 30 days' notice to cancel.
