The costs for moving a website depends on a number of factors, and need to be addressed by specific site and its status. The following outline should assist you in calculating an estimated cost for your project. In addition, it will provide you with the SWD checklist for when you want to move your website to a new platform.
The major cost point would be related to whether we are moving an existing design intact to a new platform, or if a new design or design update is desired for the move.
This may or may not include upgrades in function, elements or applications. First step would be to schedule a “Site Transfer Consultation” with SWD to discuss your specifications.

One item that is often forgotten or just not done by many web developers is the creation of a 301 Redirect file. This file lets Google and other search engines know about a website's page (url) changes that happen with a move like this, so no loss in SEO value of a website is lost in a move. This cost is billed at $65/hr. And is based on the number of pages to be redirected.
- Moving GEO Landing pages, Articles, or other secondary website pages. This service is billed at $65/hr. And is based on the number of pages you want us to move. The other option is that we also offer tutoring service for this if you would just like us to teach you how it’s done, and you can do it yourself.
- SWD also offers concierge service for this process so you always know what the status of your move is at every step. This will also include training for managing and editing your website after the move is complete
- If your website has not been upgraded to the new G4 Google Analytics and Google Search, we can also get the site setup for that during the move. This valuable Google service allows you to track visitors to the site, their behavior on the site, and direct SEO reports about the site’s organic search performance. We also integrate the Google account with your InflatableOffice account so we can also track all eCommerce data and conversion rates. If you already have this service we will transfer tracking free of charge during the move. If you would like to have a new service installed, the cost is $500. This also includes a training session for understanding how it works, and how it can help you properly manage your website.
Time Expectations: Like the total cost, the timeline for this type of project will be subject to the specific project and its touchpoints. This process itself doesn’t take a tremendous amount of time, but the planning of the move is the secret to success. At SWD we like to make sure we have a detailed plan laid out before the actual move begins. These are your milestones:
- SWD Transfer meeting with client
- Decisions about site design and new applications
- Analysis of total pages, product import, images, landing pages, and assignments
- SWD generated price quote
- Client makes project deposit
- Establishing InflatableOffice account, and IO liaison.
- IF required: create new website design draft
- Client Approval of design draft
- Coding of Approved design and installation on IO.
- Product, category, and customer data import
- Google Analytics & Search Console set up
- New Open Graph site installation
- Website Proofing and Client approval for GO LIVE
- 2 weeks following GO LIve schedule Client Training Session
Post Migration SEO & Marketing: During the Client training session we will also be evaluating the website’s current status and performance. At that time, SWD may make recommendations for further advertising like Google Ads, or SEO work for GEO landing pages.
