What is Website Migrations or Rebuilds?

If your business website in the Dominican Republic is running on an outdated platform — slow WordPress installs, bloated page builders, or a site that hasn't been touched in years — a professional migration or rebuild is the most cost-effective way to recover lost performance and search rankings. We handle everything: content export, URL mapping, 301 redirects, and a full rebuild on a modern, fast stack.

he most common migration we handle is WordPress to Next.js. WordPress powers over 40% of the web but comes with serious drawbacks for growing businesses: slow load times due to plugin bloat, constant security vulnerabilities, expensive maintenance, and Core Web Vitals scores that hurt your Google rankings. Moving to Next.js eliminates all of these problems. Your content moves over cleanly, your URLs are preserved with proper redirects, and your new site loads in under 2 seconds.

We've successfully migrated tourism businesses, restaurants, and service companies across Santo Domingo, Punta Cana, and Santiago without a single day of downtime or loss of search engine position. Whether you need a full redesign during the migration or just a clean platform switch, we scope the project to fit your timeline and budget.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? We've got answers.

No. Before any work begins we do a full export and backup of every page, image, post, and file on your existing site. Nothing is deleted from your old site until the new one is confirmed live, stable, and fully tested. Content migration is the first step in our process, not an afterthought.

Not if the migration is done correctly — and that's exactly what we specialize in. We map every old URL to its new destination, implement 301 redirects, preserve your meta titles and descriptions, and verify everything in Google Search Console before and after launch. A properly executed migration maintains rankings and often improves them within weeks as Google sees the faster, better-structured new site.

Yes — this is our most requested migration. WordPress is slow, vulnerable, and expensive to maintain. Next.js is faster, more secure, and requires zero plugin management. We export all your WordPress content, rebuild the site in Next.js with Sanity CMS for easy editing, and configure all redirects so your SEO is fully preserved. Most businesses see a 40–60% improvement in page load speed after this migration.

No. We build the new site in a separate environment while your existing site stays fully live. Only at the very end — once the new site is tested and approved — do we switch the DNS. The switchover itself takes minutes, not hours, so visitors experience no interruption.

Yes. Every rebuild includes Sanity CMS setup so you can update text, images, and pages directly from a simple dashboard — no code required. We provide full training after launch so you're never dependent on a developer for routine content updates.
