Businesses usually migrate because something is holding them back. The hosting may be unreliable, the platform may be difficult to manage, the website may have accumulated technical debt or the current supplier may no longer provide the support required.
Moving solves those problems only when the migration is properly scoped. A rushed transfer can create broken links, missing content, failed forms, lost data and disruption at the point the new website goes live.
We begin by understanding the current website, the reason for moving and what must be preserved. We then create a migration plan covering the platform, content, functionality, data, integrations, launch process and any optional redesign or SEO requirements.
The result is a controlled move to a stronger foundation, with clear ownership, proper testing and fewer surprises after launch.
We audit the current website before anything is moved. This identifies the content, functionality, data, integrations, technical dependencies and access requirements that need to be included in the project.
We map what needs to move and rebuild the important parts on the destination platform. Pages, forms, products, media and other agreed content are checked so the new website reflects the approved migration scope.
The migrated website is reviewed before it replaces the existing site. We test key pages, forms, navigation, responsive layouts and agreed functionality, then coordinate the launch and domain changes.
Where URLs or site structure change, migration planning can include redirect mapping, metadata transfer and essential technical checks. Wider SEO strategy and optimisation can be added when the project requires deeper search support.
"We have been working with Veon for just under six months now and they are the perfect fit for our business. After bringing our marketing in-house we still needed web support for our e-commerce business. Veon really are a hidden gem. With every query, SOS and demand we have, Dan and Ben act promptly, are always polite, price fairly and are happy to talk you through the solution, rather than you having to continually go back to them with the same issue time and time again."
"5 stars! Ben was absolutely amazing-nothing was too much trouble, and he went above and beyond to help us get the results we wanted.

Thank you Veon Media."
Not every migration is a complete rebuild. Some businesses need better hosting, while others need to leave an outdated platform or use the move as an opportunity to redesign the entire website.
We scope the project around what is changing, what must stay intact and what would be better rebuilt rather than transferred. WordPress, WooCommerce and Shopify projects can be supported, with other platforms assessed during the initial review.
Every migration begins with discovery and technical review. The final process is adapted to the website, but the project follows four clear stages.
Every website migration carries different risks. Content, customer data, integrations, URLs and functionality all need to reach the new setup without important parts being missed.
We review your existing website, identify potential problems and define exactly what needs to move. You will receive a clear recommended route covering the platform, migration scope, optional redesign work and launch process.
Website migrations involve content, technology and business-critical systems, so the right approach depends on what you are moving and why. These answers cover the questions businesses usually ask before appointing a migration partner.
A website migration is a significant change to the platform, hosting, domain, structure or design of an existing website.
It may be a straightforward move to new hosting, a transfer into WordPress, an ecommerce replatforming project or a complete redesign delivered alongside the technical migration.
We work with WordPress, WooCommerce and Shopify, including migrations into, away from or between suitable platforms. We can also assess websites built on other content management systems or custom setups.
The current platform, available access, data structure and required destination are reviewed before we confirm whether the migration is technically viable.
Yes. A redesign can be included as part of the migration package when the current website needs more than a technical transfer.
This allows the visual design, navigation, page structure and user journeys to be improved while the website is moved. A like-for-like migration is also possible when preserving the existing design is the better commercial decision.
Any significant website change can affect how search engines crawl, understand and rank the site. No agency can responsibly guarantee that rankings will never fluctuate after a migration.
We reduce avoidable risk by identifying important URLs, preserving relevant metadata and implementing agreed redirects where page addresses change. Deeper SEO auditing, content optimisation and post-launch monitoring can be included as an additional part of the project.
We can migrate the content agreed during the scoping stage. This may include pages, blog posts, images, products, categories and other structured content, depending on the platforms and access available.
Before quoting, we confirm what can be transferred automatically, what requires manual work and what should be rewritten or rebuilt rather than migrated.
Potentially. The available data depends on the existing ecommerce platform, destination system, extensions, data quality and access permissions.
Products, categories, customer records, order history, reviews and other store data are assessed separately and listed explicitly in the migration scope. Sensitive customer information is handled only where it is necessary and technically appropriate.
Integrations are reviewed during discovery rather than assumed to transfer automatically. Payment gateways, shipping tools, booking systems, CRM connections, email platforms and custom APIs may need to be reconfigured or rebuilt for the new platform.
The integrations included in the project will be documented before development begins. New or previously undisclosed integrations are quoted separately.
We plan the launch to minimise disruption, but the exact risk depends on the domain, hosting, platform and technical complexity of the move.
The existing website normally remains live while the new environment is prepared and tested. We then coordinate the final changeover and explain any expected interruption before launch.
Timescales depend on the size of the website, the platforms involved, the volume of content or data, the number of integrations and whether redesign work is included.
We provide a project timeline after completing the initial review. A hosting transfer will usually require far less work than a full ecommerce replatforming or redesign.
Domain and DNS changes can be coordinated where they form part of the website launch. Email migration is a separate requirement and is not automatically included with a website migration.
If email services, mailboxes or domain ownership also need to move, tell us during discovery so they can be assessed and scoped correctly.
We identify known issues during the initial review and explain whether they should be repaired, replaced or left behind during the migration.
Undisclosed faults, corrupted data, inaccessible systems and legacy custom code may require additional investigation. Any substantial work outside the agreed migration scope will be discussed and quoted before it is undertaken.
We complete the agreed post-launch checks and address migration issues identified during the support period included in the project.
Managed hosting, website maintenance, content changes and longer-term technical support can continue through a monthly Veon website care plan.
Migration costs depend on the current platform, destination platform, content volume, data complexity, integrations and whether design or SEO work is included.
We review the existing website before providing a quotation so the price reflects the actual work and risk involved rather than relying on a generic migration fee.
