Ecommerce Migration in Cardiff
Moving a Cardiff store from one platform to another. Migrations lose traffic when URLs change without redirects, and the loss is usually discovered weeks later once rankings have already fallen — which is why the redirect map is the part of the project that most deserves attention.
Why this comes up
The problem
The current platform is limiting or expensive, and previous migration attempts elsewhere have been described as losing months of search visibility.
What you get
What we deliver
- A complete URL map from the old store, including pages nobody remembers
- Redirects for every changed URL, tested before launch rather than after
- Products, variants, customers and order history migrated and reconciled
- Reviews and user content preserved, since these are hard to recreate
- Search Console monitored closely after launch, when problems are still fixable
- A rollback position, because cutover is otherwise irreversible

Working in Cardiff
Wales
Cardiff has a significant broadcast and media sector alongside a large public-sector presence, and Welsh-language provision is a genuine requirement on public-facing work here rather than a nice-to-have.
Public sector and broadcast work is common, and bilingual provision is usually a requirement rather than an option.

Ecommerce Migration in Cardiff — common questions
- Why do migrations lose traffic?
- Missing redirects, almost always. New platforms structure URLs differently, and every old URL without a redirect loses whatever ranking and links it had. Crawling the old site to capture every URL — including ones nobody knew existed — is the essential first step.
- What is most often forgotten?
- Product reviews, customer accounts and order history. Reviews carry real conversion value and cannot be recreated; customers who cannot see past orders or log in with existing credentials generate support volume and lose trust at exactly the wrong moment.
- How long before we know it worked?
- Days for technical problems, weeks for search impact. Watching Search Console for crawl errors and coverage changes in the first fortnight catches most issues while they are still cheap to fix, rather than discovering them when revenue drops.
- Should we redesign at the same time?
- Preferably not. Combining a platform migration with a redesign means any drop in performance has two possible causes and no way to separate them. Migrating first with the design largely intact makes problems diagnosable.
- Do you work with businesses across Cardiff?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Wales, including Cardiff and the surrounding Cardiff area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Cardiff businesses do you usually work with?
- Public sector and broadcast work is common, and bilingual provision is usually a requirement rather than an option. Beyond that we work across Media & Broadcasting, Financial Services, Public Sector, Higher Education and Sport.
- Do you cover the areas around Cardiff?
- Yes — we work throughout Wales, including Bristol, Swansea. Cardiff is an urban area of roughly 490,000+, and we take on work across the wider Cardiff region rather than the city boundary alone.
