The challenge
The site ran on WordPress and Elementor and pulled real traffic from search. The task was therefore to move the site without losing that position.
The solution
URLs were mapped 1:1 before anything was built, and metadata stayed managed where it always had been. The site was built on a temporary domain, and cutover was a single reversible DNS step.
The outcome
- users in 28 days
- 2.4Kusers in 28 days
- URLs preserved 1:1
- 16URLs preserved 1:1
- departures and seats left
- Lifandidepartures and seats left
