What clients say about working with us

“Digital Bird was excellent to work with. After countless attempts with speaking with agencies and other web design contractors, we finally found Jonathan and the team, and what a blessing that was. The project was handled end to end, with clear communication the entire time. We have now engaged Jonathan and the team for on-going website management and work due to how well things turned out. If you are on the fence about which direction to go, I highly recommend just taking a call with Jonathan and the team and seeing what you can achieve together.”

Google reviews

“Digital Bird is my first pick for delivering web projects on time, on budget and to the brief — every time.

Beyond being a delight to work with, Jonathan Bird is that rare breed of developer who is both masterful on the tools (an absolute Laravel whizz!) while also being adept at engaging the client in UX-thinking, to which he applies expert insights, gained through years of experience, to help further improve the end design for the target user’s experience.

This powerful combination of skills means that 4 years on and a variety of projects later (from search directories to corporate website developments), Digital Bird firmly remains my first pick for developer.”

“Highly recommend Jonathan for anything web development in Brisbane and Australia-wide. Have worked with a lot of developers over the years and Jonathan’s work and communication on projects has been a clear standout. A very talent developer if you’re looking for anything from WordPress, Shopify, Laravel, or anything in-between.”

Migration process

How we move a website without losing its rankings

Migration planning starts before design, so the URL structure, content and redirects are settled while they are still cheap to change.
  1. Step 1: Benchmark

    Record every URL, the top landing pages, linked pages and Search Console data from the current site.

  2. Step 2: Map

    Map each old URL to its new page and decide which content is kept, merged or retired.

  3. Step 3: Test and launch

    Test redirects, titles, canonicals, sitemaps and robots rules on staging, then check them again on launch day.

  4. Step 4: Monitor

    Watch crawl errors, 404s, indexing and traffic over the following weeks and fix problems as they appear.

FAQ

Technical SEO & Migration FAQs

Common questions about protecting search traffic through a rebuild, and fixing technical SEO problems.
It can. Most ranking losses after a rebuild come from missed redirects, dropped content or changed page titles. Mapping every old URL, keeping the content that ranks, testing redirects before launch and watching Search Console afterwards reduces that risk a great deal. ROH Wheels moved off WordPress with more than 180 news articles and kept its rankings.
A list of every old URL and the new URL it should point to. Each row becomes a permanent (301) redirect, so visitors, links and search engines land on the right page. Our website migration SEO checklist includes a worked example.
Before design and build begin. The URL structure, content inventory and redirect plan affect the sitemap and templates. Leaving them until launch week is when pages get missed.
Closely for the first 2 weeks, then regularly over the following months. Google re-crawls and re-ranks a site gradually, so some problems only appear weeks after go-live.
Yes. An audit often finds problems that can be fixed on the current platform: crawl blocks, sitemap errors, canonical issues, slow templates or caching. If the platform itself is the constraint, you will get the reasons and the options.
WordPress, Statamic, Laravel, Shopify, Magento and custom-built platforms. Recent projects include WordPress to Statamic and Magento to a custom Laravel platform, along with merging two websites into one.
No. All technical SEO work is done in-house by our own team, from audits and redirect maps to site speed, structured data, Search Console and Google Business Profile.
Yes. We set up and monitor Search Console, work through its indexing, page experience and crawl reports, and fix what it flags. We also manage Google Business Profile listings (formerly Google My Business), keeping your details consistent with the website so the business shows correctly in local search and Maps.
