Legacy WordPress or Magento platforms rarely fail because of code alone—they fail because migrations ignore people, data, and operations. After migrating 180+ WordPress sites, Magento microservices, and Laravel estates, we rely on a predictable playbook.
Wrap the legacy platform first
We build a strangler facade—often a Laravel or Node.js API—that fronts the existing site. Every new capability hits the facade, which proxies to legacy systems until their replacement ships. This lets us deliver new Next.js experiences or Shopify storefronts without a terrifying big-bang cutover.
Decouple content from commerce
Editorial teams stay productive by moving into WordPress VIP or another headless CMS well before checkout moves. We sync taxonomy and assets via scheduled jobs so marketers keep publishing while engineers rebuild the transactional core. Morale stays high because nobody is waiting on engineering for basic tasks.
Automate data migration and verification
We script Magento and WordPress exports via MySQL, map them into new schemas, and run repeatable migrations through CI pipelines. Post-migration tests verify order counts, customer PII masking, and URL redirects. Nothing is manual on release night, which keeps risk low even when catalogues are huge.
Validate performance before flipping traffic
Docker-based load tests, Lighthouse budgets, and payment sandbox drills reveal bottlenecks while rollback is still trivial. When we launched a revamped premium retail store, we had already simulated peak trading with recorded traffic, so the actual migration was quiet—in the best possible way.
How we help
We lead migrations end to end, coordinating stakeholders, writing the glue code, and standing beside you during go-live so the business never feels the turbulence.
