Website migration readiness

Move the website without losing what already works.

Evolved Designs helps organizations inventory critical journeys, map content and URLs, verify ownership, test the new environment, and launch with a documented recovery path.

Bring a public URL and the business-critical path. Keep credentials, private analytics, customer records, form entries, and confidential exports out of the contact form.

Four release gates

A migration is a continuity project—not a visual handoff.

01

Inventory the working system

Map pages, documents, media, forms, search, accounts, payments, integrations, scheduled jobs, analytics, and the people who own each dependency.

02

Map every important destination

Pair current URLs with new homes, preserve useful content and metadata, identify intentional removals, and define permanent server-side redirects for changed addresses.

03

Prove the hard journeys early

Build and test representative templates, real forms, email delivery, accessibility, permissions, search, integrations, and mobile paths before the final content move.

04

Launch with evidence and recovery

Verify redirects, canonicals, robots, sitemaps, analytics, conversions, performance, accessibility, backups, rollback, and named post-launch owners.

The release record

Make acceptance inspectable.

A responsible migration closes with a short record that delivery, marketing, content, and operations can all understand.

  • Coverage: content inventory, dependency register, owner, and disposition.
  • Routing: old URL, new URL, redirect result, canonical, and internal-link status.
  • Journey: user goal, environment, test method, result, and responsible reviewer.
  • Recovery: backup, rollback trigger, monitoring window, and escalation route.

Current technical guidance

Preserve paths people and search systems depend on.

Google's current site-move guidance recommends complete URL mapping, permanent server-side redirects, updated internal links and canonicals, a new sitemap, and continued monitoring. W3C guidance helps keep migrated forms labeled, understandable, keyboard-usable, and testable.

After launch

Keep the new site accountable.

Use managed support when the migration also needs recovery ownership, content help, technical SEO, analytics review, and a measured improvement rhythm.
