Who this is for
Built for Owners Who Are Changing Platform and Look at the Same Time
If you want a Shopify store migration and redesign expert who treats both jobs as one plan, these are the owners we help most. Each of them has the same question: how do we change everything without breaking what already sells?
You are a good fit if
- Your catalog has hundreds or thousands of products
- You have organic traffic worth protecting
- You want the new look to launch the day the new platform does
- You prefer one fixed scope and one team to answer to
Owners leaving an aging platform
Your WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce or Squarespace store works, but it looks dated and costs too much to maintain. A move is the natural moment to fix the design as well.
Brands outgrowing their template
You are about to replatform and know the current layout will not carry over anyway. Designing the new storefront now beats migrating a design you plan to throw away.
Teams that cannot afford two projects
You do not have the budget, the staff time or the patience to manage a migration vendor and a separate design agency who never talk to each other.
Stores with search traffic to protect
Your category and product pages rank and bring in customers. You need a new look without a drop in visibility, so URLs, metadata and redirects are planned with the design.
Brands whose customers shop on phones
Your analytics show most visits on mobile, but the old store was designed for desktop. You want the new storefront planned for the phone first and checked on real devices.
Founders preparing for a growth push
A campaign, a season or an investor milestone is coming. You want the new store stable, fast and live before it, with a rollback plan and monitoring after launch.
Problems solved
Why Doing Migration and Redesign as Two Projects Costs More
The expensive part of a replatform is rarely the data. Shopify store migration and redesign redirects and SEO planning is where one combined project saves the most rework, because the design, the URLs and the navigation all change together.
The problem
Migrating first, then redesigning, means building templates twice and re-checking every product page.
The outcome
One sequenced plan designs against the final data model, so each template is built once and tested on real products.
The problem
A new design that changes URLs and navigation quietly breaks old links and search visibility.
The outcome
The URL inventory, redirect map and information architecture are decided together before anything is published.
The problem
Content edits made during a long project get lost or force a second import.
The outcome
A content and URL freeze window is scheduled up front, then a delta migration catches whatever changed before cutover.
The problem
Two vendors point at each other when something breaks on launch day.
The outcome
One owner runs the launch checklist, the cutover and the first weeks of monitoring.
The problem
Product data arrives with broken variants, missing images and mismatched SKUs.
The outcome
Test imports into staging produce a data diff you can check, and mismatches are fixed before the design is built on top.
The problem
The new design looks right on the designer's laptop and wrong on customers' phones.
The outcome
Templates are built mobile first and checked on real devices and slow connections before you approve the cutover.
What we can do
What We Can Do When You Replatform and Redesign Together
Six capabilities cover the work most agencies split between two teams. Each one is a scenario we handle regularly, with the technical detail that keeps launch day uneventful.
Messy catalogs with complex variants
If your products carry many options, bundles, custom fields or inconsistent SKUs, we map the source structure to Shopify products, variants and metafields, work within Shopify's variant limits and deliver a data diff so you can check the result.
A design service built on your real data
Our Shopify store migration and redesign design service starts with your analytics, best sellers and customers. Templates for the homepage, collections, product pages and cart are built on the migrated catalog, so nothing looks right only with dummy content.
URL structure changes without broken links
If Shopify's URL patterns differ from your old store, we map old addresses to new ones one by one, import them in bulk and test for chains and loops. Visitors and search engines land on the right page, not a 404.
Customer accounts and order history
If you need customers and past orders, we scope the import with you, move them where the source platform allows and plan the invitation emails customers receive to set a new password, because password hashes cannot move between platforms.
Apps, integrations and tracking
We audit the apps and scripts on your old store, replace what Shopify handles natively, reinstall what you need and rebuild GA4 and pixel tracking, so reporting does not go blank on launch day.
A planned cutover with a rollback plan
We freeze content, run a final delta migration, switch the domain and sign off a launch checklist item by item. A rollback plan is agreed before cutover, so a critical issue never means improvising.
What is included
What Our Shopify Store Migration and Redesign Includes
Professional Shopify store migration and redesign is two workstreams that share one calendar. Here is what each stream delivers, grouped so you can see which part of the project protects which part of your business.
Shopify store migration and redesign product data transfer
- Titles, descriptions, variants, SKUs, prices and images moved to Shopify
- Metafields and custom attributes mapped to Shopify fields
- Test migrations into a staging store, with a data diff you can check
- Product counts, variants and images matched to the source before sign-off
Shopify store migration and redesign customer and order migration
- Customer accounts moved where the source platform exports them
- Order history imported as historical records on request, scoped before work starts
- Password reset invitations planned, because hashes cannot move
- Discount codes moved where the source allows, with notes on what cannot
Collections, content and navigation
- Collections, tags and navigation menus rebuilt to a clean structure
- Pages, policies and blog posts moved with their handles planned
- Menus and footer links rebuilt to point at final URLs
- A content and URL freeze scheduled before cutover
Design discovery and conversion templates
- Design discovery call, competitor and analytics review, then a direction you sign off
- Homepage, collection, product, cart, about and contact templates designed for conversion
- Custom sections and a reusable design system in the upper packages
- Two revision rounds before the build is finalized
Redirects, metadata and SEO carry-over
- Full URL inventory and a redirect map imported in bulk
- Titles, meta descriptions, alt text and canonical tags carried across
- Chain and loop testing, then sitemap resubmission in Search Console
- Redirect file handed to you for future use
Cutover, checks and aftercare
- Written cutover plan with a freeze window and delta migration
- Domain, DNS, payments, shipping, tax and email checks
- Launch checklist signed off, backup theme kept and handover recorded
- Post-launch monitoring and fixes, with 30-day support as an extra
Every package follows the same sequence. What changes between packages is how deep the design goes, how much data moves and how many URLs are mapped.
See how it works
From a Cluttered Old Store to a New Shopify Design in One Cutover
Follow a single replatform project from the first data load to launch day. The design is built on your migrated data, so nothing is built twice, and your live store keeps selling until the moment of cutover.
Animated walkthrough
- 1
Your data moves to staging
Products, collections and content load into a private Shopify store while your live shop keeps selling. Test imports show problems while they are still cheap to fix.
- 2
The new design replaces the old
Templates are designed against your real catalog, so the new storefront looks right with your own products, prices and images rather than sample content.
- 3
Every old URL gets a destination
A redirect map sends old links to the matching new pages, protecting bookmarks, backlinks and search traffic from dead ends on launch day.
- 4
One planned cutover
After a freeze and a final data catch-up, the domain switches once and the new store goes live, with a checklist signed and a rollback plan in hand.

Shopify Store Migration and Redesign Services: Process and Timeline
Migration and design run in parallel on a staging store, and launch is one planned cutover. Total time depends on catalog size and design depth, per the calculator, and starts once your access and approvals are in.
- 1
Audit and URL inventory
We crawl the current store, export your data and list every URL, app and integration that has to survive. You receive a short audit with the risks we found and a proposed cutover date.
- 2
Design discovery
A working session on brand, customers, best sellers and analytics leads to a sitemap and wireframes you approve. Decisions on navigation and URL structure are made here, before the build.
- 3
Staging migration
Products, collections and content load into a private staging store. Test imports find problems early, and each run ends with a data diff that you can spot-check.
- 4
Design on real data
Templates are designed and built against the migrated catalog, so nothing looks right only with dummy content. You review the work and request up to two revision rounds.
- 5
Redirects and QA
The redirect map is imported, chains are tested, and a full QA pass covers checkout, devices and speed on the staging store, using the signed-off checklist.
- 6
Freeze, delta and cutover
Content freezes, a final delta migration brings in new orders and edits, the domain switches and the checklist is signed off. Monitoring starts the same day.
Technical approach
Technical Map of a Combined Migration and Redesign
A Shopify store migration and redesign checklist is mostly technical sequencing. This is the map we follow on every project: what happens in each layer, what can go wrong there and what you receive when it is done.
| Area | What we do | What you receive |
|---|---|---|
| Data mapping and import | Map source fields to Shopify products, variants and metafields. Run test imports into staging, fix mismatches in titles, options, SKUs and image order, and repeat until the data diff is clean. Keep variant limits and option rules in mind from the start. | Mapping sheet, import logs and a data diff |
| Theme architecture | Build templates and sections in a duplicate theme using Online Store 2.0 structure, so you can edit pages later without code. Keep custom code small, commented and separate from the base theme to ease future updates. | Staging theme, section library and editing notes |
| Redirect strategy | Inventory old URLs, match them to new URLs, collapse chains and import redirects in bulk through Shopify's redirect tool. Shopify redirects map one path to one target, so repeating patterns are expanded into explicit rows. | Redirect CSV and a chain and loop report |
| SEO carry-over | Preserve titles, descriptions, headings, image alt text and canonical logic, and plan structured data for the new templates. Compare indexable pages before and after, so nothing important quietly drops out. | Metadata audit and a before and after checklist |
| Customers and orders | Move accounts and order history where the source platform allows. Note what Shopify cannot import, such as password hashes, and plan the invitation emails customers receive to activate their account again. | Scoped import plan and customer invitation steps |
| Apps, scripts and tracking | Audit what runs on the old store, replace features Shopify handles natively and install only the apps you need. Rebuild GA4, pixels and conversion events, then test them with a real order on staging. | App audit, tracking plan and test order log |
| Performance and mobile QA | Check layout, tap targets and image sizes on real phones and slow connections. Compress media, limit heavy scripts and keep templates lean, so the new design is not slower than the old store. | Device test notes and a speed check report |
| Cutover and monitoring | Run a freeze window and a delta migration, switch DNS, keep a backup theme for rollback and watch crawl errors, checkout and analytics for the first weeks. Fix issues as they appear and record them. | Cutover runbook and a post-launch monitoring log |
Risk, dependencies and success plan
Risks, Dependencies and the Success Plan

Inside every project
What Protects Your Store During the Move
A replatform puts your revenue at risk for a short window, so the safeguards matter as much as the design. Every package includes the same protections, so the price covers a controlled project and not just a set of pages.
Private staging store
All migration and design work happens in a private staging store or duplicate theme. Your live shop keeps taking orders on the old platform until the planned cutover, so customers never see work in progress.
Backups and a rollback copy
We keep a backup theme and copies of your source exports before any change. If a critical issue appears after launch, there is a defined path back, so a problem is an inconvenience and not a crisis.
QA matrix on real devices
We test checkout, discounts, shipping, tax, emails and tracking on desktop and phones, on fast and slow connections, and record the results against a checklist that you can read before you approve.
Communication cadence
You get a status note at every milestone, a recommendation attached to each decision and one named contact. Questions are answered in writing, so decisions and approvals are easy to find later.
Secure access handling
We use Shopify collaborator access and read-only exports wherever possible, never ask for a shared owner password and recommend revoking our access when the project closes.
Documentation and handover
You receive written handover notes, the redirect file, the mapping sheet and a recorded walkthrough, plus two revision rounds before launch, at a fixed scope price.

One plan, one calendar
Migration and design share a schedule, so decisions made once apply everywhere, and nobody waits for another vendor to finish.
Staging before live
Your live store stays untouched until you approve the cutover, and a rollback plan is agreed first.
SEO is part of scope
Redirects, metadata and sitemaps are deliverables, not an afterthought, and the redirect file is yours to keep.
Plain-English updates
You always know what is done, what is next and what we need from you, in writing, with a recommendation on every decision.
Fixed scope pricing
You see the price before checkout, with no hourly meter running and no surprise for catalog size.
You own everything
Store, content, theme and the redirect file all stay yours, with no lock-in to our login.
What we need to get started
What We Need to Get Shopify Store Migration and Redesign Services Started
Starting a replatform takes a few decisions and some access. Choose the route that suits you, and we send a checklist right after checkout so nothing is missed.
Collaborator access to your store
If you already have a Shopify store, send us its URL and approve our collaborator request. You stay the owner, no password is shared and you can remove our access at any time.
No Shopify store yet? We build it for you
We build the new store in our own Shopify Partner account as a development store and transfer ownership to you when the work is done. You only pick a Shopify plan at the end.
Or send staff login details
You can send a staff account login instead. We recommend collaborator access because it is easier to revoke, but both routes work and the choice is yours.
Access to your current platform
We need admin access to your WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce, Squarespace or other store, or exports of products, customers, orders and pages, so we can crawl, map and migrate your data.
Brand assets and design priorities
Send your logo, fonts, colors, photography and a few stores you like. Tell us your best sellers and what you want customers to do first, so the design has a clear purpose.
Integrations and one decision maker
List the tools that touch orders, such as ERP, 3PL, accounting or email, and name the person who approves design and cutover, so reviews do not stall.
Not sure what you have? Choose a package and check out. We send a short checklist that tells you exactly what to gather.

FAQ
Shopify Store Migration and Redesign Services FAQs
Straight answers about cost, timing, scope and what happens to your data and search visibility.
How much do Shopify store migration and redesign services cost?
Packages start at $2,490 for Migrate and Refresh, $3,990 for Migrate and Redesign and $5,900 for Brand Rebuild. Catalog size, data scope and design depth then move the total, so most complete projects land between about $3,500 and $8,500. The exact figure is shown before checkout.
What drives Shopify store migration and redesign cost?
Shopify store migration and redesign cost depends on three things: how many products and URLs move, whether customers, orders and content come along and how custom the design is. Shopify plan fees and any paid apps are separate. The calculator adds each choice, so the price is never a surprise.
How long does a combined project take?
Typically 12 to 18 working days for Migrate and Refresh, 18 to 28 for Migrate and Redesign and 26 to 40 for Brand Rebuild, before options. Sooner and Fastest scheduling shorten the range once your access and approvals are in.
Why combine migration and redesign instead of doing them separately?
Because templates, URLs and navigation change together. When one team plans both, the design is built once against the final data, redirects match the new structure from the start and there is a single cutover instead of two risky launches.
Will my live store go offline during the project?
No. Everything is built in a private staging store. Your live store keeps taking orders until the planned cutover, which is a short, scheduled window. We agree the date with you and avoid your busiest trading days wherever we can.
Can you migrate product data, customers and orders?
Yes. Products, collections and pages are standard. Customer and order migration is available as an option where the source platform exports them. Some items, such as customer passwords, cannot be moved, so customers receive an invitation to set a new one.
Can I do a Shopify store migration and redesign without losing SEO?
We protect it with a URL inventory, a redirect map, carried-over metadata and sitemap resubmission, then monitor after launch. Rankings can still move after any replatform, so no one can honestly guarantee them. The plan removes the avoidable causes of loss.
What is a content and URL freeze?
A short period before cutover when you stop adding products and editing pages in the old store. We then run a delta migration to catch recent changes. It avoids lost edits and double imports, and it is scheduled in the plan from day one.
Which platforms can you migrate from?
WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce, Squarespace, Wix, PrestaShop, Volusion and custom carts are all common sources. Share your platform and catalog size and we will confirm scope before you pay for anything beyond the calculator.
What is in your Shopify store migration and redesign checklist?
Our checklist covers data counts, variants and images, redirects, metadata, checkout, payments, shipping, tax, emails, tracking, speed, mobile layout and DNS. Each item is checked on staging and again after cutover, and you receive the signed-off list with your handover notes.
Can I hire Shopify store migration and redesign specialist help for one project only?
Yes. Each package is fixed scope with a clear end date, and you keep full ownership afterward. There is no retainer. If you want help later, you can add 30-day support or start another project, and your redirect file and design notes stay with you.
What do you need from me to start Shopify Store Migration and Redesign Services?
Collaborator access to your Shopify store (or we build one in our Partner account and transfer it to you), admin access to your current platform, brand assets and a short list of integrations. Staff login details also work. A checklist arrives right after checkout.
What happens after Shopify Store Migration and Redesign Services is finished?
We monitor errors, redirects, checkout and analytics, fix issues that appear and send handover notes with a recorded walkthrough. Add 30-day support if you want longer cover. A backup theme is kept so changes can be reversed quickly.
Will the new design be editable without a developer?
Yes. We build with Online Store 2.0 sections, so you can rearrange homepage blocks, change images and edit text in the theme editor. Handover notes explain which settings control which areas, and what to leave alone.
What if my project is larger than the packages cover?
Choose the custom option for Shopify Plus, multi-store or very large catalogs and we will send a fixed quote with agreed deliverables. You see the scope and price before any work starts.
