Migration: Mac Me an Offer, an organization that buys used Apple products, relied on a WordPress site operating a tool of limited functionality in order to provide quotes for its customers’ products. Unfortunately, the tools they were using were limited, relatively inaccurate, and worst of all, communication between Mac Me an Offer and its sister store, Mac of All Trades, which was based on BigCommerce, was cumbersome.
1Digital® Agency migrated Mac Me an Offer off of WordPress and onto a newly designed and developed BigCommerce store, complete with a new custom app that would vastly improve their customer experience.
To get their old website off of WordPress and onto BigCommerce, we had to write a custom script to draw all of their category, product, customer, and order information onto a temporary Linux server where it could be assessed and configured before being moved to the new BigCommerce store via BigCommerce’s API. This migration was extensive, encompassing nearly 100 categories, over 500 products, and account information for nearly 200,000 customers.
Even after the migration was successfully completed, 1Digital® Agency implemented 301 redirects for each and every URL on Mac Me an Offer’s old WordPress site so that the operation, which was established and had been in business for years, would not lose any traffic or authority. In addition, 1Digital® Agency also monitored the client’s Google Search Console in the wake of the migration to identify any issues in traffic before they could become problematic.
