WordPress Migration Services
Platform migrations are high-stakes projects where careful planning and execution make the difference between success and disruption. Stoneberg Design has guided organizations through complex WordPress migrations, from legacy CMS platforms to modern WordPress, from outdated WordPress versions to current releases, and from monolithic WordPress installations to headless architectures.
Our migration process starts with comprehensive discovery. We audit your current platform, catalog content types and relationships, identify technical dependencies, and map current workflows to future-state requirements. This analysis informs our migration strategy, which balances technical feasibility, timeline constraints, and business continuity needs.
Content migration receives meticulous attention. We develop custom migration scripts that preserve content structure, maintain relationships between posts and taxonomy terms, migrate media libraries with proper organization, and transfer metadata that supports SEO. URL mapping and redirect strategies ensure search rankings survive the migration. We test migrations in staging environments, validate data integrity, and address edge cases before touching production systems.
Our experience spans migrations from Drupal to WordPress, legacy proprietary systems to WordPress, and WordPress-to-WordPress modernization projects. We've supported enterprise clients like Tableau through platform transitions where thousands of pages, complex content relationships, and multiple stakeholder groups required careful coordination. Post-migration, we provide training that helps content teams adopt WordPress workflows, documentation that captures platform decisions, and ongoing support during the stabilization period. Based in Seattle and serving clients throughout the Pacific Northwest, we understand the business context that makes migrations successful.
