Move your Sarasota 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.
Sarasota has a strong arts, hospitality, and professional-services economy alongside the usual coastal trades. Businesses here often have an established site with years of content and rankings worth protecting, which makes careful migrations and redesigns, not from-scratch rebuilds, the right call more often than not.
Websites rarely need only one thing done to them. For Sarasota businesses I also take on website speed in Sarasota and website redesign in Sarasota, and just up the road I cover website migration in Fort Myers and website migration in Cape Coral.
Many Sarasota organizations have years of content on an aging platform: event archives, articles, program pages, and the rankings that come with them. A migration is the careful way forward. I inventory every page, map old URLs to new ones, move content without losing formatting or images, and validate redirects before launch, so the history that brings visitors in keeps working.
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, when it helps. Most Sarasota projects run remotely by video call and email, and I can meet in person for a kickoff or launch review.
Yes. Preserving existing content and rankings is the core of how I handle migrations and redesigns. Every page is inventoried and either kept at the same address or redirected, and nothing is removed without your approval.
Yes, and usually more easily. Part of the handoff is a short training session and written documentation for your team.
Not if URLs, titles, and content are preserved and redirects are in place. That is the core of my process. Temporary ranking movement in the first weeks is normal; losses come from missing redirects and dropped content, which the inventory and validation steps are built to prevent.
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.
