Karen R.We make a premium product and we needed a website that reflected that. Something that felt like the saunas themselves. Skyrocket got it straight away. What they built is elevated without being over the top, and the people getting in touch now are serious buyers. That's exactly what we were after.

Questions about hiring a website migration specialist
Straight answers to what NZ business owners ask us most.
What should I include in a website migration brief?
Share your current website, the destination platform or host if known, why you are moving and the pages or functions that are most important.
Will a migration affect search visibility?
It can. A specialist can plan redirects and launch checks to reduce avoidable issues, but search results can still change after a site move.
How long does a website migration take?
A smaller move may take a few weeks. Larger sites with content, ecommerce or custom functionality can take longer.
Can a freelancer migrate the content as well?
Often, yes. Explain the amount and type of content involved so the scope can account for it.
How do I choose the right migration specialist?
Compare relevant platform experience, the migration plan, testing approach, communication, timing and pricing before requesting an introduction.
What if I am moving an online store?
Store moves add products, customers, orders and checkout settings to the job. Say so in your brief, and see ecommerce store build and redesign for store platform migrations.
