I need our entire WordPress website moved from its current domain to a new one while keeping every page, post, image, setting, and piece of functionality exactly as they are now. The layout, theme, and styling must remain untouched—we are not redesigning, just relocating.

Scope of work
• Clone the live WordPress installation to the new domain on our hosting account, including database, media library, plugins, and theme settings.
• Update DNS, configure SSL, and apply the correct 301 redirects so legacy URLs resolve flawlessly.
• Preserve all existing links, contact forms, blog archives, and any SEO-critical metadata.
• Carry out a full post-migration test (frontend and backend) to confirm pages load correctly, forms send notifications, and no assets are missing.
• Leave the original site live and unaffected until I confirm the new domain is functioning perfectly; then coordinate the final switch-over.

Acceptance criteria
1. No visual differences or data loss between the old and new domains.
2. All internal links, canonical tags, and sitemap entries updated to the new domain.
3. Zero mixed-content warnings; SSL padlock visible on every page.
4. Google Search Console and Analytics re-verified on the new domain.
5. A brief hand-off document outlining what was moved, any changes made, and how to roll back if ever required.

Familiarity with WordPress migrations, cPanel or similar hosting dashboards, DNS propagation, and SEO best practices is essential for a smooth, disruption-free transfer.
