Services · Migrations

Migrations lose rankings, traffic, and content.This one won't.

A full move to a clean Breakdance build — every URL mapped, every page accounted for, every ranking held — delivered under your agency's name. Nothing dropped in the crossing.

Mid-water · Past the platform

A migration isn't a copy-paste job. It's the whole site, rebuilt to survive the move.

Most "migrations" export what's easy and call it done — the homepage, maybe the top nav, and a hope that nothing else mattered. Three months later the client's organic traffic is down and nobody can say why.
We treat the crossing as the deliverable, not the destination. Every page, every URL, and every ranking signal gets accounted for before the old site goes dark — not discovered missing after.

Mid-water · Six moves

Six moves to a migration with nothing dropped.

Every migration follows the same path — survey what's there, map every URL, and prove nothing broke in the crossing.
01 — SURVEY
The Survey

Nothing gets missed because nobody counted

We inventory every page, post, and media file on the old site before touching anything — so "we didn't know that page existed" never becomes the excuse for a 404.
02 — MAP
The Chart

Every old URL gets somewhere to go.

Every URL on the old site gets a 301 mapped to its new home — old query strings, old file extensions, old permalink structures included. No link left behind.
03 — CARRY
The Cargo

Content, users, and orders make the crossing intact

Pages, users, orders, metadata, and media move over checksum-verified against the original — not just copied, so nothing goes missing partway through.
04 — ANCHOR
The Anchor

Rankings don't reset. They hold

Most migrations tank rankings for weeks while Google re-crawls a broken structure. We launch with redirects and structure already in place, so rankings hold through the cutover instead of dropping and slowly climbing back.
05 — ESCAPE
The Escape

Off the walled platform. Onto code you own

Wix, Squarespace, or a WordPress install held together by forty plugins — we move the client onto a clean Breakdance build on infrastructure your agency controls, not a platform holding their site hostage.
06 — CUTOVER
The Cutover

Same site. Different foundation. Nobody noticed

DNS, hosting, and the live switch happen on a scheduled cutover with uptime unbroken — the visitor never sees a maintenance page, and the client never sees a gap.
Mid-water · What we build

The spec sheet we hold ourselves to.

Every build ships with:

  • 30-day post-launch monitoring — 404s, crawl errors, and Core Web Vitals rechecked
  • 301 redirects mapped on every changed URL — nothing left a 404
  • Staging & version control — weekly links, full Git history transferred
  • SEO-ready structure — clean markup, meta framework, redirects mapped
  • Built in Breakdance —the lean builder, none of the theme-forest bloat
  • Accessibility pass — semantic markup, keyboard nav, contrast checks
  • Security hardening — locked-down admin, automated backups configured
  • Your accounts, your keys — everything transferred, nothing held hostage

Mid-water · Ways to work

Two ways to run it.

Per project

The single catch

One site, fixed scope, fixed quote. Best for agencies handling a single migration, a replatform, or an urgent move off a dying build.

  • Fixed quote within 48 hours of audit
  • Weekly staging links & async updates
  • Full URL map & redirect report, yours to send
  • 30 days of post-launch monitoring included
Retainer

The standing crew

Reserved monthly capacity behind your agency. Best when migrations are a regular part of your pipeline — client acquisitions, platform consolidations, recurring replatforms.

  • Guaranteed monthly migration hours, priority queue
  • One shared Slack channel, same team every time
  • Maintenance & monitoring across past migrations, plus new moves as they come up
  • Rate advantage over per-project pricing
Deep water · How it works

Three steps. Zero visibility to your client.

STEP 01

The brief

Send designs, scope, and deadline. Within 48 hours you get a fixed quote and a build plan you can forward straight to your client — under your letterhead.
The Brief
STEP 02

The build

Weekly staging links, async updates in your channel of choice, and a team that speaks designer. No "that's not possible" — only "here's how."
The Build
STEP 03

The hand-off

Clean code, documented, transferred to accounts you own. Your name on the trophy. We were never here.

The abyss · Why us

Enterprise pressure. Studio precision.

We cut our teeth on enterprise-grade launches — clients where a broken site wasn't a bug ticket. It was a headline.
Launch nights timed to the minute. Traffic spikes with no warning. Personal and corporate brands worth eight figures riding on a page load. That's the pressure this studio was built under — and it's why agencies trust us with the work they can't afford to get wrong.

The abyss · Why us

Frequently asked questions

No. The move is made under your agency's name, same as every Blue Marlin build.

Wix, Squarespace, Shopify, Webflow, or an aging WordPress install with forty plugins holding it together — if it's a website, we can move it.

 

Every URL gets mapped and redirected before the old site goes dark, so rankings hold through the cutover instead of resetting and slowly climbing back.

Depends on site size and platform — typical migrations run one to three weeks. You'll get a fixed-price quote within 48 hours of sending the audit brief.

Go get the big one.
