PHP Website to Next.js Migration
Move from PHP to Next.js — with SEO kept in the plan, not as an afterthought. We migrate PHP websites to Next.js with a search-safe plan: every important URL mapped, redirects tested, content and metadata rebuilt, and launch verified so organic traffic is not lost to broken links.

PHP Website to Next.js Migration
What this engagement is for
A PHP-to-Next.js migration fails when it is treated as a redesign that invents new URLs. We inventory indexed pages and traffic first, rebuild templates in Next.js, move content carefully, keep or redirect every URL that matters, reconnect forms and analytics, and check indexation signals after launch. Design can improve, but SEO preservation is a first-class requirement — not a cleanup task after go-live.

- Businesses whose PHP or WordPress-on-PHP site is hard to maintain, slow, or ready to become a modern Next.js product — without losing search visibility.
- Typical timeline
- 4–12 weeks depending on page count, CMS complexity, and integrations

Outcomes
What you leave with
We measure the work by the product decisions and assets you can use next — not by a slide deck.
A Next.js site with server-rendered pages search engines can read
A full URL and redirect map covering indexed pages
Metadata, canonicals, sitemap, and structured data carried over or improved
Forms, analytics, and critical integrations reconnected and tested
How we work
A short path from conversation to something real.
- 1
Audit URLs and content
We list what ranks, what converts, and what can be retired — before any template is rewritten.
- 2
Rebuild and map redirects
Pages move to Next.js in slices. Every important old URL keeps its path or gets a tested redirect.
- 3
Launch and verify SEO
We watch for 404s, sitemap/indexation signals, and analytics after launch, and fix issues quickly.

Deliverables
What we produce
- Pre-migration SEO and content audit
- Next.js rebuild of agreed templates and pages
- Redirects, canonicals, sitemap, and metadata implementation
- Post-launch checks for 404s, indexation, and tracking
Questions
Before you start
No migration can guarantee rankings. Most losses come from changed URLs and missing redirects. We map important URLs, keep content equivalent, and verify redirects before and after launch.
The SEO process is similar. Custom PHP sites need a different content and routing inventory than WordPress, which we plan for in the audit.
Light visual refresh is fine. A full redesign at the same time makes it harder to diagnose any traffic change — we often migrate first, then redesign in a second phase.
