Web Site Migration: Moving Right Along

A website migration can be an extremely onerous undertaking, involving several phases of production. Most important though, are the planning stages. My site migration service covers both pre and post production.  As such, you can hire me at any point during your process.

(Ongoing support is covered by general maintenance.)
