Website migration to 1C-Bitrix
Migrations lose traffic for one boring reason: the addresses change and nobody sets up redirects. The platform has nothing to do with it.
- Content and structure transferred in full
- Old addresses redirect to new ones
- Search indexing checked after launch
- Rollback plan prepared in advance
A-LUX migrates websites to 1C-Bitrix keeping the old addresses and setting up redirects, so search rankings survive the move.
Where traffic actually disappears
Three causes, all of them avoidable.
Changed addresses without redirects: search engines see hundreds of 404s and drop the pages. This is the most common and the most expensive mistake.
Lost content: text that existed on the old site and was not carried over. And blocked indexing — the test version's robots.txt shipped to production, which silently removes the whole site from search.
How we run a migration
The list of addresses comes first, the design later.
We collect every existing URL, decide what maps to what, and prepare the redirect map before development starts.
After launch we check the indexing status, watch for 404s in the logs and compare traffic week over week. A migration is finished when the numbers recover, not when the site opens.
FAQ
Answers to common questions before ordering from A-LUX.
How much does a migration cost?
It depends on the number of pages and how different the structures are. We scope it after reviewing the current site.
Will we lose rankings?
Not if the addresses are preserved and redirects are in place. A short dip in the first weeks is normal and recovers.
Can the site stay online during the move?
Yes. The new version is built in parallel and switched over when it is ready.
What if something goes wrong at switchover?
There is a rollback plan and a full backup made before the switch. That is part of the work, not an extra.
Do we have to move to Bitrix?
Only if you need the 1C connection or the licence you already own. Otherwise we will say so honestly.
