The Bag Drop - Migrating a Growing E-Commerce Store Without Losing SEO

Migrating a luxury resale store from Webflow to WordPress and Shopify in 2 weeks while preserving SEO performance and increasing product views by 22%

Client
Industry
The Bag Drop needed more flexibility than its existing Webflow setup could provide as its product catalogue, campaigns, and e-commerce operations grew. Coding Partners migrated the full website to WordPress, integrated Shopify for commerce, and completed the transition in 2 weeks without a drop in SEO performance. Product views increased by 22% in the first month after launch.

The Challenge

‍

The Bag Drop is a curated luxury fashion business built around distinctive products, strong visual presentation, and a continuously changing inventory.

‍

As the store grew, its existing Webflow setup became increasingly limiting for the way the team wanted to manage products, campaigns, and e-commerce operations.

‍

The business needed more flexibility without sacrificing the brand experience customers already knew.

‍

‍

Migrating without disrupting a working store

‍

The new setup needed to:

‍

  • Give the team more control over products and website content
  • Support a growing and frequently changing product catalogue
  • Make campaigns and promotions easier to launch
  • Improve the connection between content and commerce
  • Preserve existing SEO visibility during the migration
  • Avoid unnecessary downtime or disruption for customers
  • Give the internal team more independence after launch

‍

The challenge was therefore not simply to rebuild the website on another platform.

‍

The Bag Drop already had an active digital presence. The migration had to improve the underlying system without losing the visibility and customer experience the business had already built.

What We Built

‍

Coding Partners migrated the full website structure from Webflow to WordPress while preserving The Bag Drop's existing visual identity.

‍

Shopify was integrated to handle product management, payments, and checkout, giving the business a stronger commerce layer while WordPress provided greater flexibility for content and campaigns.

‍

The complete migration and integration was delivered in 2 weeks.

‍

‍

The hard part

‍

Moving a live e-commerce business between platforms creates risk in several places at once.

‍

Changing the CMS and commerce architecture can affect URLs, search visibility, content structure, product journeys, mobile performance, and the checkout experience.

‍

For The Bag Drop, the migration therefore had to happen without treating SEO or existing customer behaviour as something that could simply be rebuilt later.

‍

The website structure and content had to move cleanly while Shopify was introduced into the customer journey and the brand experience remained consistent.

‍

‍

Giving the team more control

‍

The new architecture separated the parts of the website according to what each platform did best.

‍

WordPress gave the team more freedom to manage editorial content and campaigns, while Shopify provided the infrastructure for products, payments, and checkout.

‍

This reduced the need for developer involvement in routine website work and allowed marketing and e-commerce activity to operate more independently.

‍

The result was not just a platform migration, but a setup better suited to the way The Bag Drop was growing.

The Results

‍

The complete migration from Webflow to WordPress with Shopify integration was delivered in 2 weeks.

‍

Most importantly, the transition did not come at the cost of the store's existing organic visibility.

‍

‍

Growing engagement after the migration

‍

  • Complete platform migration delivered in 2 weeks
  • No drop in SEO performance following the migration
  • Product views increased by 22% in the first month
  • Improved control over products, content, and campaigns
  • Routine website updates can be handled without the same level of developer dependency

‍

The increase in product views provided an early indication that the new setup was not only technically stable but also supporting stronger product discovery.

‍

‍

Preserving what was already working

‍

For an established e-commerce business, a successful migration is not only measured by what improves after launch.

‍

It also matters what does not get lost.

‍

The Bag Drop was able to move to a more flexible technology stack while maintaining its SEO performance and continuing to serve existing customers without a disruptive transition.

‍

‍

A stronger foundation for e-commerce growth

‍

The new setup gives The Bag Drop more freedom to expand its product catalogue, publish campaigns, and manage its store without being constrained by the previous architecture.

‍

What began as a platform limitation became an opportunity to create a more flexible commerce foundation.

‍

The result was a 2-week migration, preserved organic performance, and a 22% increase in product views within the first month.
