Move your Fort Lauderdale business website to a platform your team can actually manage, with every page, image, and URL accounted for. I currently run Contentful-to-WordPress migrations for a U.S. government agency, and I bring the same checklist to a twelve-page local site.
Most migrations go wrong in the details: redirects nobody mapped, images that silently 404, form submissions that stop arriving. My process starts with a full content and URL inventory, maps every content type to its new home, and validates the result before anything goes live. You see the new site on a staging URL and approve it before cutover.
Fort Lauderdale is the center of the marine industry, and that shapes the web work here: yards, brokers and refit specialists all have large photo libraries and clients who may be on another continent. Around it sit hospitality, construction and professional services, most of them serving a mix of residents, seasonal owners and visitors.
Websites rarely need only one thing done to them. For Fort Lauderdale businesses I also take on business websites in Fort Lauderdale and e-commerce websites in Fort Lauderdale, and just up the road I cover website migration in Miami and website migration in West Palm Beach.
Marine and construction sites in Fort Lauderdale tend to accumulate huge media libraries, and on a page builder every one of those images is served at full size. A migration is the point at which that gets fixed properly: content and galleries move to a build that resizes and serves images sensibly, while every old URL is mapped and redirected so the rankings and the inbound links survive the move.
A few of the sites behind this service. Live links where the client allows it.
Developed dynamic Gutenberg blocks to enhance editor capabilities, including a custom Chart.js block that ingested Google Sheets data for real-time visualization. Improved performance, accessibility, and overall usability across the platform.
Developed a custom Laravel-powered backend with a fully bespoke cart and product system. Optimized for performance, scalability, and user-friendly e-commerce experiences.
Designed and developed a WordPress-based promotional site for a local business, optimizing performance and tracking for lead generation.
A custom Gutenberg block turned charts that took developers weeks into something editors build in minutes.
Four steps and no surprises: you approve the scope before work starts and the site before it launches.
A short call or email exchange about your goals, your customers and what is not working today. Free, with no commitment.
A written scope, timeline and fixed price, so you know exactly what you are getting before anything starts.
The work happens on a staging site you can open at any time, with plain-language updates at agreed checkpoints.
Testing, a launch in a low-traffic window, documentation and a handoff session, then support while your team settles in.
Yes. Large galleries are a delivery problem, not a reason to cut the photos. Images are resized to the sizes actually used, served in modern formats, and loaded as the visitor scrolls, so a page with fifty photos can still load in about a second.
When it helps, yes. Most Fort Lauderdale projects run remotely by video call and email, and I can come over for a kickoff or a launch review. Site visits for photography or a yard walkthrough can be arranged as part of the project.
Contentful, Squarespace, Wix, Weebly, Drupal, Joomla, static HTML, and older or hacked WordPress installs. Destinations are usually WordPress (often with WooCommerce) or a Next.js site when you need a custom application.
A typical local business site of 10 to 50 pages takes two to four weeks including review. Larger catalogs or sites with many custom content types are scoped after the inventory.
No. The new site is built on a staging URL. Cutover is a DNS change scheduled for a low-traffic window, usually under an hour, with the old site kept available for rollback.
