Website & Platform Migrations Australia

Move platforms without losing anything.

We migrate Australian businesses off Magento, outdated builders and legacy systems onto modern platforms — without losing data, rankings or a single day of revenue.

What’s included

Every part of a safe migration, covered.

Platform build, data migration, SEO preservation and integration mapping — run as one connected project, not an export-and-hope-for-the-best move.

01

Ecommerce Platform Migration

Moving your store from Magento, BigCommerce or another platform onto Shopify or WooCommerce.

Product catalogues, customer accounts and order history all migrated properly, not just exported and hoped for the best.

Migration

Continuity

  • Order history preservation
  • Payment gateway re-setup
  • App & integration parity
  • Zero-downtime cutover

02

CMS & Website Migration

Moving off a legacy CMS, a DIY builder or an unsupported platform onto something built to last.

Content, media and structure carried across cleanly, with the new build actually engineered properly this time.

Migration

Rebuild

  • Fresh architecture
  • Performance improvements
  • Modern CMS setup
  • Design refresh

03

SEO Preservation

The part most migrations get wrong — losing rankings that took years to build.

Every URL mapped, every redirect tested, so search engines see continuity, not a brand new site that starts from zero.

Preservation

  • Redirect mapping
  • URL structure planning
  • Meta data migration
  • Schema preservation

Monitoring

  • Post-migration tracking
  • Ranking monitoring
  • Crawl error monitoring
  • Search Console management

04

Data & Integration Migration

CRM, email lists, analytics history and third-party integrations, moved without gaps.

A platform migration touches more than the front end — we map every connected system before anything moves.

Systems

  • CRM data
  • Email platform data
  • Analytics history
  • Third-party integrations

Planning

  • Integration mapping
  • Dependency audits
  • Staged migration plan
  • Rollback planning

Growth Digital

Digital agency, based in Australia

Most migrations we’re called in to fix went wrong because nobody mapped the redirects properly, or the new platform launched before the data was fully verified. Tell us what platform you’re moving from and to, and we’ll tell you honestly what actually needs to happen to do it safely.

We’d love to hear from you.

Who we help

Built for every business. Proven across every industry.

Every business is different, but every business needs the right digital foundation to grow. Whether you’re launching a startup, scaling a growing business or leading a national enterprise, we tailor every solution to your goals, industry and stage of growth.

Why Growth Digital

More than a digital agency. Your growth partner.

We’re more than a digital agency. We become an extension of your team—bringing strategy, design, development, marketing and AI together to solve problems, unlock opportunities and drive measurable business growth.

01

Results Before Everything

Every decision we make is guided by outcomes, not opinions. From websites and digital marketing to AI automation, we focus on the metrics that matter—qualified leads, conversions, revenue and long-term business growth.

“If you can’t measure it, you can’t improve it.”

Peter Drucker

02

Faster Execution. Smarter Delivery.

Traditional agencies lose momentum in meetings, approvals and internal processes. We keep communication focused, decisions fast and projects moving—so more time is spent delivering results, not discussing them.

“Ideas are easy. Execution is everything.”

John Doerr

03

AI Built In, Not Bolted On.

AI isn’t an extra service—it’s part of how we work. We use AI and automation to streamline workflows, accelerate delivery and help your business operate more efficiently as it grows.

“The best way to predict the future is to invent it.”

Alan Kay

04

Growth Digital was built to challenge the traditional agency model. No expensive offices. No unnecessary overheads. No sales-driven culture. Just an Australian-led team supported by experienced global specialists, delivering premium digital solutions with better value, faster turnaround and greater flexibility.

“The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking that created them.”

Albert Einstein

05

Your Long-Term Growth Partner

We’re here for more than a single project. As your business evolves, we continue to optimise, improve and support your digital ecosystem—helping you adapt, scale and grow with confidence.

“Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.”

Why us for migrations

Nothing lost, nothing broken.

We rehearse before we launch

Every migration gets a full staged rehearsal before the real cutover — so the surprises get caught on a test environment, not on your live site with real customers watching.

Urszula Kelly

We’re really happy with Growth Digital. They built our new website and now take care of our SEO. The team was great to work with — professional, responsive, and easy to communicate with. The website looks clean, modern, and represents us perfectly.

Calamvale Medicine

We started Google Ads with Growth Digital for our pharmacy, and it’s made a real difference. More people are finding us online, and the ads actually bring in local customers. Very happy with their work.

Georgia Smith

They helped me build and customise my Shopify website exactly the way I wanted it. I had plenty of requests and lots of back and forth along the way, and they were always so patient, responsive, and accommodating. The end result is even better than I imagined.

Werner Obermeier

I signed up with Growth Digital to replace my website with a new design after about 20 years of mixed experiences with other IT companies. Jignesh and Heath exceeded all of my expectations and I am extremely happy with the outcome and their timely responses to all issues.

David Finnimore

The team at Growth Digital went above and beyond to deliver our project on-time and on-budget under testing circumstances including pushing through non-working hours. The results speak for themselves but the effort and energy put into our project was more than expected.

Bessette Bridal

My brand required a completely new website which had many moving parts. Jignesh, Heath and their team are calm, diligent, and prompt to assist. Nothing was ever a problem — very happy with how the new site has come together.

Maylene Slater-Burns

We are a First Peoples company and required a lot of time to facilitate community consultations. This company has been so supportive and patient and accommodating; we cannot brag up about them enough.

Sandy Prasad

I have used Growth Digital to set up my medical clinic. Heath has been the main IT specialist. He has been exceptional. Extremely talented. Very efficient and very high quality service.

Alison C

They took my idea and put it into a website that I am proud to go live on. They have been a great source of support during this time and I will continue to utilise their services further as my company grows. Highly recommend.

Jane Dunning

I recently worked with Growth Digital to create the new website for my business, Best in Show Photography, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. As a fine art photography company focused on the deep emotional bond between people and their dogs, it was incredibly important to me that the website felt warm, inviting, and premium. Growth Digital delivered exactly that. They beautifully showcased my portfolio, creating a clean, elegant layout that allows the images and stories to truly shine. Beyond the stunning design, the website is highly functional, easy to navigate, and perfectly set up for clients looking to invest in lifelong family portraits. The communication throughout the project was seamless, and their attention to detail made the entire process stress-free. If you are looking for a digital agency that listens, understands your brand identity, and delivers a high-quality product, I highly recommend Growth Digital!

Courtney Atkins

Growth Digital were amazing; they were very quick and so helpful. Heath was so great to work with and put together our website, very professional and highly recommended for anyone wanting to complete a website!

I can wholeheartedly recommend Growth Digital and would not hesitate to work with them again in the future.

Peter M

Very happy, they kept in good contact with me throughout, were well priced and provided exactly what I was after. Well done Growth Digital.

Travis Mcnaught

I’d definitely recommend this company for building a website and SEO. I had dealings with Jignesh & Heath and our company couldn’t be happier with the design and layout of our website. They made the process extremely easy and smooth, with explaining and answering questions that we had throughout the process. Heath was great to deal with and always quick with his work and with prompt response to my questions.

Dealivered

We recently worked with Growth Digital to set up our website and were extremely pleased with the entire experience. From the initial consultation to the final launch, Heath was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive. He took the time to understand our needs and ensured everything was running smoothly before going live.

YL

Big thank you to Heath and Jignesh! They were able to cater to my needs and freshen up my shopify store. From start to finish they were very transparent, knowledgeable and also competitive with pricing. Would definitely recommend them to anyone.

Kwong Keet Chan

This team is fantastic from first encounter to finished project. It was a pleasure to deal with Jignesh and Heath in the whole process. They were friendly, professional, patience and get things done promptly and to-the-point. We got our e-commerce store moved from Ecwid to Shopify and nothing is too big or too small to enquire or explore. More than satisfied with the result.

Lea Simmonds

Was very happy with Heaths service and setting up our Website.

Tendai Makanyanga

It was an excellent experience working with Growth Digital. Jignesh, Heath and the team were responsive to our needs setting up our business website, Tutum Mental Health. They were great teachers along the way as well. We would highly recommend this company.

Dave Sullivan

Jignesh and Heath provide an excellent service. My new website professionally reflects my product. One of my core requirements was the website needed to be easy to navigate and understand. My expectations were exceeded. All of my requests were promptly responded to and communicated back to me. I am not all that Tech savvy however, I was respected, and time was taken to explain some of the more complex issues with me. They are patient.

Leathercare Melbourne

Huge thanks to Growth Digital for an awesome website and SEO work! The team was super easy to work with, and the results speak for themselves — our site looks great, and we’re getting way more traffic. Highly recommend!

Where we work

Different cities, different risks.

Melbourne

Melbourne’s competitive retail and services categories mean even a brief ranking dip during a poorly executed migration is genuinely costly — a competitor is ready to take that traffic the moment it slips. Extra care on redirect mapping and close post-launch monitoring matter more here than in less competitive markets.

  • High-competition migrations
  • Retail & services continuity
  • Rigorous redirect mapping
  • Close ranking monitoring
  • Zero-tolerance downtime
  • Competitive-market risk management

Sydney

Sydney’s enterprise migrations often involve multiple stakeholders and legacy systems with years of accumulated data and integrations, which means genuinely more complex dependency mapping than a smaller, simpler site. Getting sign-off across several teams before cutover is as much a part of the project as the technical work.

  • Enterprise migration complexity
  • Multi-stakeholder sign-off
  • Legacy-system dependency mapping
  • Years-of-data migration
  • Multi-team coordination
  • Enterprise account management

Brisbane

Brisbane businesses migrating off DIY platforms for the first time usually carry less legacy complexity, but often have far less documentation of what’s actually connected to the old site than an enterprise setup would. Discovery work — figuring out what’s actually there before moving it — is a bigger share of these projects.

  • DIY-platform migrations
  • First-migration discovery
  • Undocumented-system audits
  • Growth-market migrations
  • Lower-complexity moves
  • Foundational rebuilds

Perth

Some of Perth’s trade and resources-adjacent businesses are still running genuinely old, custom-built systems from years ago with little to no documentation — migrations here sometimes involve rescuing data from a system nobody fully understands anymore. That discovery and data-recovery work needs real care before a single thing gets moved.

  • Legacy custom-system migration
  • Undocumented-data recovery
  • Trade & resources migrations
  • Old-system archaeology
  • Careful data extraction
  • B2B system continuity

Adelaide

Adelaide’s smaller sites and simpler migrations still need the same level of rigour on redirects and data integrity — cutting corners on a small project causes exactly the same kind of damage as on a large one. Being cost-conscious about scope doesn’t mean being careless about the fundamentals.

  • Small-site migrations
  • Cost-conscious scoping
  • Same-rigour redirects
  • Local business migrations
  • Right-sized planning
  • Data-integrity focus

Gold Coast

Tourism and property businesses on the Gold Coast usually have booking-system integrations that genuinely can’t have downtime — a migration that takes availability data offline for even an hour risks a real double-booking. These projects need a more careful cutover sequence than a standard content migration.

  • Booking-system migrations
  • Zero-downtime availability data
  • Tourism & property continuity
  • Careful cutover sequencing
  • Double-booking prevention
  • Peak-season migration timing

Canberra

Government-adjacent and corporate migrations in Canberra sometimes carry genuine compliance or data-retention requirements that add real planning steps beyond a standard commercial migration. Understanding those requirements upfront avoids a migration plan needing to be reworked partway through.

  • Compliance-aware migration
  • Data-retention requirements
  • Government-adjacent projects
  • Corporate & consulting migrations
  • Documented migration process
  • Regulatory-aware planning

Hobart

Hobart businesses migrating platforms often carry genuine freight, export and booking-system integrations that can’t afford downtime, so cutover sequencing needs the same rigour as a much larger mainland migration.

  • Freight & export-system migrations
  • Booking-system continuity
  • Statewide Tasmania migrations
  • Same-rigour redirects
  • Zero-downtime cutover
  • Data-integrity focus

Platform migrations, done properly

A platform migration is one of the highest-risk projects a website ever goes through — done well, nobody notices; done badly, you lose rankings, data or revenue, sometimes all three. A dedicated migration specialist earns their fee by treating the risk seriously from day one, not discovering it after something’s already broken.

We handle migrations for businesses across Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, the Gold Coast, Canberra and Hobart — the risk profile shifts from city to city, from zero-tolerance downtime in competitive Melbourne retail to rescuing undocumented legacy systems for Perth’s resources sector.

What does a platform migration agency actually do?

Beyond moving content and data, most of the value is in the planning most businesses don’t think to do themselves — mapping every existing URL to a redirect, auditing what third-party systems actually connect to the site, and rehearsing the whole cutover on a staging environment before it happens for real. The migrations that go wrong are almost always missing one of these steps.

How long does a migration take without losing rankings?

The build and data migration itself can take anywhere from a few weeks to a couple of months depending on complexity, but ranking continuity depends more on execution quality than speed — a rushed migration with sloppy redirects loses rankings regardless of timeline. A short dip in the days immediately after cutover is normal as search engines re-crawl; a properly executed migration recovers within a few weeks, not months.

What does a platform migration cost in Australia?

Cost depends heavily on how much data and how many integrations need to move — a simple content site migration costs considerably less than an ecommerce platform migration with years of order history and multiple third-party connections. We scope every migration against what’s actually on the current platform rather than quoting blind.

Why most failed migrations come down to redirects, not the new platform

The new platform is rarely the problem — most migration disasters happen because old URLs simply stop working, sending both search engines and returning customers to a 404 page. A complete, tested redirect map from every old URL to its new destination is the single most important technical piece of a migration, and it’s the step most commonly rushed or skipped entirely.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Will I lose my Google rankings during a migration?

A brief fluctuation is normal as Google re-crawls the new site, but a properly executed migration with complete redirect mapping typically recovers within a few weeks and often holds rankings with barely a dip. Genuine, lasting ranking loss almost always traces back to missing or incorrect redirects, not the migration itself.

Can you migrate from Magento specifically?

Yes — Magento migrations to Shopify or WooCommerce are one of the more common projects we handle, since Magento’s complexity and hosting requirements push a lot of businesses to look for something more manageable. We map the full product catalogue, customer data and order history before anything moves.

How much downtime should I expect?

We aim for zero-downtime cutovers on almost every project — the new platform is built and tested in full before the switch happens, so the actual cutover is typically a DNS change measured in minutes, not hours. Genuine downtime is usually a sign something in the planning went wrong.

Can you migrate a site you didn’t build?

Yes — this is the majority of our migration work. We start with a full audit of the existing platform, its content, data and connected systems, regardless of who built it originally.

Is there a lock-in contract?

No — a migration is a one-off project, not an ongoing service, so there’s nothing to lock into. If you’d like ongoing support or hosting management afterwards, that’s billed separately and month to month.

What happens if something goes wrong after launch?

We monitor closely in the days immediately after cutover — traffic, rankings, crawl errors, broken links — specifically to catch and fix issues fast rather than waiting for you to notice them. A proper rollback plan is also part of every migration, so there’s always a safety net if something genuinely serious comes up.

Do you only work with businesses in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, the Gold Coast, Canberra and Hobart?

No — those are simply the cities where migration risk and complexity differ enough to be worth calling out specifically. We handle platform migrations for businesses anywhere in Australia; the plan is built around your actual current setup, wherever you are.
