Website Migration

After you have built or rebuilt your new Website, it is time for it to go live to a Server. WebOracle leads this migration to ensure that everything is working correctly, in preparation for the launch. Our extensive experience designing, building and taking new Websites live means your migration experience from your old Website to launching your new Website will be a seamless, stress-free experience.

As part of our best practice protocols, to ensure there are no migration issues, WebOracle will always take a backup of your previous site. Whilst we have never had to use this backup practice to date, it does mean that if anything unexpected occurs during the migration process, we can quickly revert to your old Website without a lengthy interruption to your service whilst the issue is resolved.

This gives our clients total peace of mind during the migration process, knowing that there won’t be any unexpected surprises or downtime.

There are a few things at play when it comes to Website Migration. If you are building a new Website or updating from old to new, WebOracle will ensure that your previous Websites Google credentials are all moved over to the new Website as this will ensure you keep visible on Google. Once the site has been migrated successfully WebOracle will continue to do further testing to ensure there are no issues in rendering and visibility.
