Moving a garage website from Wix or Shopify to WordPress
Moving platforms is a big step, so it helps to know what moves, what needs rebuilding and what to protect.
What can move
- Your pages, text and images
- Blog posts and service pages
- Products and orders, if you sell tyres, parts or accessories online
What needs rebuilding
- The design, rebuilt to match the look you have now, or improved
- Online booking, which usually cannot be exported and needs a booking plugin or a small custom feature
- Forms, payment setup and any apps
Protect your local rankings
Drivers find garages through local searches such as 'MOT near me' and the name of their town. Every old page address should redirect to its new equivalent so you keep the position you have built up. We set up and test redirects before the switch.
Email and domain
Check where your domain and email are managed before you move, so nothing stops working. We plan the changes so your site and email keep running.
Test on phones
We build on a private copy, so your current site stays live, and test on phones, tablets and desktop before the switch.
Our website migration starts from £150 for a simple site. Sites with booking or an online shop are quoted, with a fixed price confirmed in writing first.
