Website Migration Services
Common moves
No exact match. Try the platform names, or tell us about the move on a call.
We plan and carry out website migration: moving the pages, images, features and web addresses of a working website to a new platform, a new build or a new host. Webzstore starts with the problem you have today, then helps you choose the move that fixes it. We assess the site, agree a plan and build it.
01Choose
Tell us what is holding the site back: how it is edited, how it looks or where it runs. Tick one part or several and see a plan you can take into a call.
Where this startsOur website is hard to edit, looks dated or sits on a host we do not trust, and we are not sure what kind of move would actually fix it.
02Kind of move
Most projects fall into one of a few moves. If the answer is a fresh build, our Custom Website Design service covers it; if you want a separate front end with a content system behind it, see Headless CMS Development.

03Exports
Each platform exports different things, so we check this before agreeing a plan.
What its own export gives you
An XML file of posts, pages, custom content types, categories and menus
What you rebuild
Design, plugins, settings and the media files themselves
What its own export gives you
Collection data as a CSV file, but no complete working site
What you rebuild
The site on the new platform; blog posts by copying
What its own export gives you
A ZIP of HTML, CSS, JavaScript and images, on paid Workspace plans
What you rebuild
CMS content, form handling, site search and shop
What its own export gives you
An XML file in WordPress format for some pages and blog content
What you rebuild
Store pages, style settings, custom CSS and many block types
Hand-written HTML sites have no export file, so we work from your files and live pages: see HTML to WordPress Migration, HTML to Wix Migration or HTML to Webflow Migration. Leaving Wix? See Wix to WordPress Migration.
04Routes
Pick the card that matches where the site is now, then open the route page for your exact platform pair. Each route page explains what moves, what is rebuilt and what to check before launch.
For sites on Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, Weebly, GoDaddy, Joomla or Drupal.

Staying on WordPress? A new host, a network split or a page-builder replacement is covered by WordPress Migration Services. Moving a shop between platforms is covered by Ecommerce Migration Services.
05Testing
06Launch
Each old page address either stays the same or gets a redirect (an instruction that sends visitors from an old address to the new one). We build a map from old to new addresses and point each one straight to its final page, with no chains.
Google says search visibility can fluctuate during a move, so we monitor search performance after launch and do not promise rankings stay the same. Your domain (the web address) and hosting (the server that shows the pages) are separate things. We agree who changes the domain settings, who tests and who signs off.
No. A platform change replaces the system that builds and edits the site; a hosting move changes only the server. Some platforms, such as Wix, run only on their own servers, so for them the two go together.
No. We can keep your design, but a new platform often means rebuilding the layout, so we tell you first what is reusable.
Yes. A blog, a shop or one section can move on its own if the navigation and addresses between the old and new parts are planned.
Not automatically. Redirects and careful mapping help, but no one can promise unchanged rankings.
Tell us what is slow, hard to edit or out of date, and which pages matter most. On the call we will help you choose the move and list what needs a plan.
