Site migration from WordPress and Tilda in Yerevan
when the old site is slow and there's no one left to fix it

Your site moves onto your own domain and your own database — no builder subscription, no limits on what you're allowed to do. Page addresses, Google rankings and enquiries stay where they are: the old site keeps running until the new one is ready.

Is it worth moving

When migration is worth it — and when it isn't

A move isn't always needed — sometimes it's easier to leave the site as it is. Here's how to tell whether the move will actually pay off.

Worth moving if you have
  • A builder-based site that's slow or has hit the platform's limits.
  • A growing subscription fee for the builder and less and less control over the site.
  • A need for functionality your current platform simply doesn't offer.
  • A site that brings traffic and leads — and matters enough to grow further, not rebuild from scratch.
No rush if you have
  • A simple two-page business-card site, and it fully works for you.
  • A need for a quick temporary landing page for a promo — that's a separate task.
  • A site launched recently that hasn't built up traffic or data to migrate yet.
From and to

What we move from — and to

We work with the popular site builders and content management systems. Knowing their limits up front helps us move a site without surprises or lost data.

We migrate from
  • WordPress — when the site has grown a pile of plugins and become slow and hard to maintain.
  • Tilda — when you've hit the block limits and want a full site without a subscription fee.
  • Flexbe — when you've outgrown the landing builder and need control over the code and data.
  • Wix, Bitrix and other builders — when the platform dictates what you can and can't do.
  • An old custom-built site — when no one has maintained it for years and it's scary to touch.
We build on
  • Next.js and React — the site opens fast and search engines read it without trouble.
  • Laravel — reliable machinery under the hood, your own admin panel and full control over your data.
  • Your domain and your database — the site becomes your asset, with no platform lock-in.
Why migrate

What you get after the move

Migration isn't about technology for its own sake. The point is speed, preserved traffic and the freedom to grow the site the way your business needs.

🔎
Preserved SEO traffic
We keep your page addresses as they are, and where they change we set up automatic forwarding from old to new. Your search traffic and hard-earned rankings stay with you.
⚡
Loading speed
The site opens faster than it did on a builder. Visitors don't wait, and Google factors speed into rankings — that's what its Core Web Vitals report measures.
🔓
Freedom from the platform
No subscription fee for a builder and no limits on blocks. The site lives on your domain and your database.
🛠️
A clear admin panel
Content management built around your needs: categories, pages, articles, products — without workarounds or extra plugins.
📈
Room to grow
New functionality can be added without platform limits — from integrations to user accounts.
🤝
Support after launch
We stay in touch after the move: updates, improvements and help whenever you need it.
How it goes

How the migration goes

We work remotely and reply within one business day. The old site keeps running until the new one is ready and verified — the switch happens at a controlled moment.

1
We go through your current site
We look at the structure, pages, traffic and addresses, and build a full list of addresses so nothing is lost in the move.
2
Structure and design
We agree on the structure of the new site. We keep the familiar look or refresh it carefully — whichever we decide together.
3
Content and data migration
We move the texts, images, products and database, and check that nothing is missing or broken.
4
Build and forwarding
We build the site on the new technology and set up forwarding from the old addresses to the new ones — one to one, so links people already have keep working.
5
Check on a staging domain
We deploy the site to a staging domain and check everything before the switch: links, forms, metadata, speed.
6
Switch and monitoring
We switch the domain at a quiet time — with no downtime. After launch we watch indexing and search rankings.
SEO during the move

How we preserve rankings during the move

Losing traffic is the main risk of any migration. We take it seriously and cover every point that usually makes sites drop after a move.

  • We keep your page addresses, or set up forwarding from old to new — one to one.
  • We carry over page titles, the descriptions search engines show, and image captions, without losses.
  • We update the site map and the rules for search robots, and make sure each page keeps a single main address.
  • We move the behind-the-scenes markup Google uses to build your listing in search results.
  • We compare speed before and after — the move should make the site faster, not slower.
  • After the switch we check in Google Search Console that the new pages made it into search, and keep an eye on rankings.

Small fluctuations in the first weeks after a move are normal for any migration. We don't promise higher rankings, but we do everything to make the move happen without noticeable losses.

Case
How we moved happyrecept.ru off WordPress

We moved a recipes site from WordPress to Laravel 11 and React. The server now responds in about half a second, and a clear admin panel and structure replaced the plugin zoo. The project is already in production — you can see how it works.

Price and timeline

What affects the price and timeline

We give an exact price and timeline after auditing the current site — free and with no commitment. Here's what the estimate depends on.

  • Site size: how many pages, products and how much data need to move.
  • Structure complexity: how tangled the current categories, page addresses and the links between them are.
  • Design: whether we keep the current look or refresh it during the move.
  • Integrations: CRM, payments, delivery and external services to move or reconnect.
  • Redirect volume: how many old addresses need to be carefully redirected to new ones.

For reference: moving a mid-sized site takes about a month — from audit to launch. Tell us where your site is now and we'll give an honest estimate for your project.

FAQ

Questions about website migration

Won't my rankings and traffic drop after the move?

That's the main risk, and we handle it separately: we keep page addresses or set up forwarding, carry over titles and behind-the-scenes markup, and check after launch that the pages made it into search. Small fluctuations in the first weeks are possible, but with a careful move your search traffic stays with you.

Will the site be down during the move?

No. The old site keeps running and taking enquiries — we build and check the new one on a staging domain. The switch happens at a quiet time and takes a few minutes, with no downtime.

Will my page addresses and links be kept?

Yes. Where possible we keep the addresses as they are. Where they change, we set up automatic forwarding from old to new — so you lose neither search traffic nor the links other people have already put up to you.

Can the site be moved while keeping its current design?

Yes. We keep the look your visitors are used to, or refresh it carefully — whichever suits you. We agree on this before the work starts.

What happens to products, forms and integrations?

We move the catalog, forms and connected services. If something can't be moved directly, we suggest a replacement and agree it with you in advance.

Will I be able to edit the site myself after the move?

Yes. We build a clear admin panel around your needs — text, photos and products can be edited without us. We agree in advance on exactly what you'll be able to change, and can take on support and improvements ourselves if you prefer.
