So, let’s say you’ve always been your run-of-the-mill “Kwickie Kuts” sort of person. $10 haircuts. Walk-in service. Mediocre results. But, ready for a change, you decide to treat yourself. You book an appointment with a fabulous, affordable stylist just a few short weeks in advance and then…poof! You have The Amazing Technicolor Dream Cut! You’re hot! Thanks to this haircut, you’re a walking, talking torrent of hotness! Now, you get more action than you’ve had in months! Something tells us “Kwickie Kuts” is history and for that stylist? You’d wait a month or more.

While we’d love to take your project right this very minute, well… we’re busy, truth be told. But don’t worry, busy designers are a good sign!  We can usually work together to come up with a mutually agreeable timeline. In the meantime, pretend it’s the line outside Studio 54. Just, you know, without Bianca Jagger and the half-naked guys in gold spandex.

While that sounds delightful and we could really go for a salad, unless you’re in San Diego, CA or Palm Beach, FL, chances are slim that we will be canoodling over breadsticks at the local Olive Garden. But, never fear! We’re quite skilled with this newfangled email thing. A few notes back and forth and we’ll have your new site live in two shakes. First time? We’ll be gentle.

On our Request for Proposal, we ask you if your project requires site migration.  This can apply to one or more of the following:

• Moving from one server to another on the same host.
• Moving from one host to another.
• Switching from one content management system to another (i.e. Blogger to Typepad, Typepad to Expression Engine, Movable Type to Blogger, one e-commerce to another, etc. et. al.)
• Your link or site structure changes and it requires link and/or feed redirection.

Site migration can be a time consuming process riddled with detail-oriented tasks, so it’s a major factor in project development.  To ensure your links, feeds and pages don’t “break” and are still easily found through Google without broken links and/or duplicate links (those really tick Google off!), we must take the time to migrate your site properly, so please assume that will be additional, in both time and budget.
