eCommerce Store Migration in London
Platform moves for London stores that need a cleaner stack — without throwing away rankings, customer accounts or order history.
SEO-safe store migrations
Store migrations that protect revenue, data and SEO
Platform-to-platform Moves
Catalogue & Customer Data
URL & SEO Protection
Cutover with a Rehearsal
A clear process from audit to cutover
Audit & Destination Fit
We confirm the new platform is actually right, then inventory catalogue, apps, URLs and integrations.
Mapping & Theme/UX
Data maps, redirect strategy and storefront UX so the new shop is not a downgrade.
Migrate on Staging
Products, customers, content and payments tested against real baskets before DNS moves.
QA & SEO Checks
Checkout, shipping, emails, redirects, canonicals and speed — signed off, not hoped for.
Cutover & Stabilise
Go-live window, 301s live, Search Console, a freeze on reckless URL changes, and a support window.
Why store migrations go wrong — and how we run them
Most failed migrations are not “the new platform”. They are missing redirects, broken variants, apps nobody replaced, and a Friday night cutover. Rankings dip, checkout fails, customers cannot log in, and everyone blames the CMS.Design Dev runs migrations as a checklist: source of truth, field maps, 301s, payment/shipping parity, email templates, and a rehearsal on staging with real SKUs.
- Full inventory of SKUs, URLs and apps
- Destination platform chosen for the model, not fashion
- 301 redirects for every URL that must move
- Customer accounts and order history where APIs allow
- Checkout, tax and shipping parity tests
- Transactional email templates rebuilt
- Analytics, pixels and feeds recut
- Post-launch SEO and conversion watch
Complete store migration capabilities
From audit to cutover — data, UX, redirects and checkout parity under one London team.
Shopify Migrations
Onto Shopify or off it — with theme, apps and checkout rebuilt for the new model.
WooCommerce Migrations
Into or out of WordPress commerce with a lean plugin plan on the other side.
Magento & Legacy Moves
Leave heavyweight stacks without abandoning catalogue and SEO equity.
Custom-to-platform
Move a bespoke shop onto Shopify/Woo when the custom app has become the bottleneck.
Platform-to-custom
Leave a template store when the commercial model now needs custom commerce.
URL & Redirect Mapping
Every important URL accounted for — collections, products, blogs, filters where possible.
Customer & Order Import
Accounts, history and GDPR-minded handling of personal data.
App & Integration Replacement
Honest list of what does not exist on the new stack — before you sign.
Design Parity or Redesign
Lift-and-shift UX or a conversion-led refresh as part of the move.
Feeds & Analytics Recut
Google Merchant, Meta, GA4 and pixels pointed at the new store correctly.
Cutover Planning
DNS, freeze windows, stock locks and a rehearsal — not a hopeful Friday deploy.
Post-migration Support
404 watch, ranking checks, merchandising fixes and a stabilisation sprint.
