Website Migration in St Albans
Moving St Albans organisations' sites between platforms, domains or hosts. Some ranking movement after a large migration is normal even when the work is faultless; what separates a competent migration from a damaging one is whether the site recovers within weeks or never returns to where it was.
Why this comes up
The problem
The site must move platform, and the business depends on search traffic that a previous migration took the better part of a year to rebuild.
What you get
What we deliver
- A complete inventory of existing addresses, including ones nobody remembers
- Redirects mapped one to one, to genuine equivalents rather than to the homepage
- Content audited before the move, since migrating pages nobody reads wastes effort
- The new site validated on a staging environment closed to search engines
- Cutover timed away from your commercial peak, with a rollback position
- Daily monitoring afterwards, because problems are cheap to fix in the first week

Website Migration in St Albans — common questions
- Will we lose traffic?
- Temporarily, on a substantial migration, then recover. Search engines have to recrawl and reassess, which takes weeks. Permanent loss comes from broken or lazy redirects and from content that quietly did not make the move, not from the migration itself.
- What makes redirects go wrong?
- Mapping many old pages onto one new one, or defaulting everything unmatched to the homepage. Both signal that the old page's subject no longer exists. Every address that had value needs a destination genuinely about the same thing.
- How do we find every old URL?
- By combining sources — a crawl, server logs, search console data, analytics history and the previous sitemap. No single source is complete, and the pages missed by a crawl are usually the orphaned ones that still receive links from elsewhere.
- When should we go live?
- Away from your busiest trading period, early in the week, with the team available. Friday migrations are a recurring source of weekend outages that nobody is watching, and a quiet period gives you room to fix what testing did not reveal.
- Do you work with businesses across Hertfordshire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout East of England, including St Albans and the surrounding Hertfordshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of St Albans businesses do you usually work with?
- Professional services and consultancy systems for small firms serving London clients from a Hertfordshire base. Beyond that we work across Professional Services, Financial Services, Media, Retail and Construction.
- Do you cover the areas around St Albans?
- Yes — we work throughout East of England, including London, Milton Keynes, Cambridge. St Albans is an urban area of roughly 150,000+, and we take on work across the wider Hertfordshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
