Why Choose Us For Website Migrations?
We pride ourselves on being transparent and informative.
Scoping is a crucial step of any website migration plan. Whether it’s migrating from one hosting provider to another or replatforming to a new Content Management System, we analyse your current online services and DNS records to ensure when the final cut across is made, there is minimal to no downtime for your website, email or other related services.
Simple hosting migrations can take as little as 2 hours to complete.
If you have more than just a website to migrate, the process can take up to one day, depending on file and server size and any conflicts between the new and old service that may need to be resolved.
The timeframe to complete replatforming depends on many variables.
- What is the current and destination CMS?
- How much content and pages are on the website?
- Whether the site is informational or eCommerce.
- How many products need to be migrated?
- Are there any previous customisations that need to be reinstated?
- Does the website have any integrations to a CRM or ERP?
As a ballpark guide, a simple informational website can take as little as one day to complete. Ecommerce websites can take as little as two days.
