We look
We check the website, database, current DNS and whether email is tied to the existing host.
We check the current setup first, plan the sensible order, move the important parts and verify the site before calling the migration complete.
A migration is not just copying website files. Domain DNS, databases, SSL and email can all matter, so we look before we touch.

We agree what needs moving and the order that reduces disruption.
Files and databases are transferred and the destination is prepared.
Key pages, SSL and the important site functions are checked before the move is treated as complete.
Email is the bit people forget until it stops. If your mailboxes are on the old host, say so at the start and we can account for them in the migration plan.
The actual site files and media.
WordPress and many other sites rely on a database as well as files.
The domain records that decide where the website and email go.
Mailboxes may need their own migration or DNS changes.
HTTPS should be working on the destination before the job is considered finished.
Forms, key pages and other important functions need testing after the move.
Tell us the domain and current host. We’ll start with what is actually there.
