Website migration from a site builder or CMS
Your website moves to a platform you control: pages, text and images are moved over, URLs are kept or redirected, and visitors from search do not land on missing pages.
Who it is for
- Your site on Tilda, Wix or another builder has hit its limits: you cannot add the feature or integration you need.
- The builder subscription keeps getting more expensive, yet the site does not really belong to you.
- The site runs on an old or home-grown CMS that nobody updates, and every change is a risk.
- You need to merge several sites or subdomains into one without losing visitors.
What is included
- A list of every page and URL on the current site, including those that bring in search visitors
- Pages, copy, images and files moved to the new platform
- Page URLs kept, or a map of 301 redirects from old URLs to new ones
- Titles, page descriptions and search settings carried over
- Enquiry forms, analytics and messenger buttons carried over
- Switching the domain and checking that old links lead to the right pages
- Adding the new site to Google Search Console and Yandex Webmaster
Billed separately
- A new design during the move, which makes it a redesign
- Moving an online store together with its orders and customers
- Rewriting the copy

FAQ
How much does a website migration cost?
From 1,500 BYN. The price depends on the number of pages, the source platform and whether the content can be exported automatically. Content from site builders often has to be moved by hand, which takes longer.
Where should I move my website to?
If you want to edit content yourself in an admin panel, WordPress is usually the right choice. If speed and custom features matter, Next.js or Laravel. We decide together after reviewing the current site and your plans.
Will my search rankings survive the move?
I do everything that is up to the developer: keep URLs or set up 301 redirects, carry over titles and descriptions, and check indexing after the move. Temporary ranking fluctuations are possible with any migration, and promising otherwise would be dishonest.
Will the site be down during the migration?
No. I build the new site on a test address while the old one keeps working until the domain is switched. We agree on the switchover time in advance.
Can the design be updated at the same time?
Yes, but that is separate work: a redesign. The two are often combined so the layout is not rebuilt twice; in that case I price the combined scope and timeline.
