Migrations and redesigns
Changing platform is daunting for two reasons: losing your traffic from Google and losing your customer history. We prepare the move on a test copy, page by page, before touching the real shop.
The situation
The platform is years old, every update is a risk and whoever built it no longer answers. You'd like to change, but the shop is still selling and you can't afford empty pages, customers who can't find their account or gift card balances that vanish.
How we do it
We take an inventory of what's there and move products, customers, orders and reviews onto a test copy. Every old URL is linked to the matching new page, and the switch happens at a time of low traffic, with a plan to roll back.
What you get
When the platform is old but the shop still sells
-
01
From Magento and PrestaShop
We move catalogues, customers and order history to Shopify or WooCommerce, choosing the destination with you.
-
02
Every URL has an heir
Pages on the old site redirect to their new counterparts, to limit errors and losses on Google.
-
03
Redesign without restarting
If the platform is sound, we refresh design and structure while keeping your data and URLs.
In a migration, the data that worries people most is the data you can't see: gift card balances, loyalty points, reviews, page URLs Google has known for years. When we moved Loving This Dress from WooCommerce to Shopify, we rebuilt and checked them one by one so that customers lost nothing.
For shops on Magento or PrestaShop the method is the same: an inventory, a choice of destination between Shopify and WooCommerce based on catalogue, budget and the way your team works, then testing on a copy that you and your colleagues try out before the switch.
The old shop stays online and keeps selling until the changeover. In the weeks that follow we track traffic and Google Search Console reports to fix anything that doesn't add up.
Who it's for
Businesses with shops on Magento, PrestaShop or outdated home-grown platforms, and anyone who wants to refresh their website's design and structure without starting from scratch.

Frequently asked questions
Before you ask.
Will we lose Google rankings by changing platform?
The risk exists, and it is reduced by linking every old URL to the matching new page and checking Search Console after the switch. Nobody can promise zero fluctuation; a well-made redirect map does, however, help avoid the most common losses.
What data can be brought over from Magento or PrestaShop?
Usually products with variants and images, customers, order history, reviews and page URLs. Customer passwords generally can't be transferred for security reasons: we prepare with you the message inviting customers to set a new one.
Does the shop close during the migration?
No, the old shop stays online and keeps selling while we prepare the new one on a test copy. The switch happens at a time of low traffic, with a plan to roll back if something doesn't add up.
