Website migration

Moving your site off WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, or Shopify, onto a Digital Space website plan, without the downtime.

A flock of birds flying across a pastel pink and blue sky at dusk.

If your current site was built on WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, or Shopify and you're ready to move to a Digital Space website plan, migration is something we handle for you, not something you have to figure out yourself. We start with a short discovery call to understand what's on your current site, pages, blog posts, images, forms, and any integrations you rely on, and come back with a fixed quote before anything moves.

Read the full details

Content and media are carried across page by page, so nothing gets lost in translation: text, images, and structure are rebuilt on your new plan rather than dumped in as a raw export. Every existing URL is mapped to its new address with proper 301 redirects, which matters more than people expect, search engines and anyone who's bookmarked or linked to a page on your old site need to land somewhere real, not a dead page, after the move. DNS cutover is scheduled in advance with you, and your domain and email keep working throughout, there's no window where your inbox or site goes dark while the move happens. We test the new site thoroughly before pointing your domain at it, not after, so the switch itself is close to invisible to your visitors. Once you're migrated, you're on one of our standard website plans going forward, with hosting, SSL, backups, and support included as standard, see our Website plans and Hosting pages for what that covers day to day. Migrations from a platform with a lot of custom functionality (a bespoke WordPress plugin, a large Shopify catalogue, or heavy third-party integrations) are scoped on our Custom tier, because the right approach depends heavily on what that functionality actually does; everything else fits the Standard migration.

Timeline

How it works

Usually one to two weeks.

  1. Week 1

    Discovery and quote

    A call to see what is on your current site, then a fixed quote for the move.

  2. Weeks 1-2

    Rebuild content

    Your content and media are rebuilt page by page on your new website plan.

  3. Before cutover

    Test and redirects

    The new site is tested fully and every redirect is checked.

  4. Cutover

    DNS switch

    DNS is switched at an agreed time, with your domain and email uninterrupted.

Goals and requirements can change, and availability can affect this timeline.

FAQ

Questions

Will my site go offline during the move?
No. Your domain and email keep working throughout: we test the new site fully before cutover, then switch DNS over at a scheduled time rather than taking anything down first.
What happens to my existing pages and URLs?
Content and media are rebuilt on your new plan, and every existing URL gets a proper 301 redirect to its new address, so search rankings and existing links aren't left pointing at a dead page.
Which platforms can you migrate from?
WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, and Shopify are the most common. Sites with heavy custom functionality are scoped on our Custom tier, since the right approach depends on what that functionality does.
