The Threat of Incorrect Website Migration to Your Business

Website migration is not a task you should take lightly or on a whim, with proper consideration and preparation required.

When you carry out a website migration on an ecommerce website, it’s quite different from the standard type of website. What’s more, when you do, there’s an awful lot riding on it, because if it’s not working properly at the other end, it can literally cripple your enterprise.

 

This preparation can take months to carry out, but when all’s said and done, with all this at stake, it’s the only sensible way to go.

 

Improper Website Migration Can Really Cost You

 

Ecommerce websites are used by all sizes of retailers, including the very biggest retailers in the world. There was a notable occasion when a major UK retailer had an ecommerce website migration that didn’t go to plan, which carried some pretty hefty consequences.

 

In fact, the botched migration ending up costing the retailer 35% of its visibility for two whole weeks, which cost millions in revenue. The retailer in question took 6 months to recover and whilst the exact reason behind it wasn’t clear, proper planning would surely have ensured a better outcome.

 

Proper Planning Makes Website Migration Go Smoothly

 

It’s vital that when you move your ecommerce website anywhere, you fully understand what your company has and what it needs. Just like would when shopping for anything you need, a website migration requires you to understand the features you need, the budget you have and the scope the platform in question provides for future growth.

 

When talking about larger, enterprise-level online retail stores, the biggest considerations involve volume and speed. In order to be fit for purpose the platform the website migration is going to, needs to be able to cope with significant spikes in activity without going down. The same applies to smaller stores, although, at a lower level.
