Do you want to make your web design agency more efficient?

It can become difficult to maintain your clients’ websites, especially as you grow your client base. If you manage backups and migrations manually, you might be wasting time and money.

Jan Knop, the owner of 77Webz, found a way to make migrations, backups, and restorations hassle-free. Continue reading to see how he did it! 

Meet 77Webz

77Webz is a web design and development agency based in Milton, Ontario, Canada. It creates custom, high-end websites to help companies reach their digital marketing goals.

The owner, Jan Knop, has over 20 years of experience as a web designer, developer, and SEO specialist. His web development skills help him build fast and responsive websites that are primed for conversions.

The Challenges of Restoring and Migrating Client Websites

Migrating websites can be a tough job for developers. It involves copying website data, moving it to a new server, and getting it all to work on a new host. Doing this manually takes a lot of time and comes with risks like data loss or unexpected errors.

At 77Webz, Jan Knop faced similar challenges in migrating, backing up, and restoring his clients’ websites.

Previously, the plugins he used didn’t offer full error-proof protection during migrations or restorations. When he turned to native hosting backups, these were not easy to restore. 

This left him open to the risk of site downtime and unhappy clients.

Plus, Jan has to manage backups and migrations for over 50 different websites every month. Inefficient tools just weren’t an option.

So, it became clear that he had to find an efficient and reliable backup and migration plugin.

Unlocking Efficiency: The Role of Duplicator Pro in 77Webz’s Success

Running a web agency like 77Webz requires balancing several different maintenance tasks. But with Duplicator Pro, a significant part of the workload became much easier.

Duplicator Pro is a WordPress backup and migration plugin with enough flexibility for Jan’s agency. 

Whenever a client’s site needs to be backed up, Duplicator can handle the job. Its easy customization options let you back up databases, files, and even add-on sites in the directory.

Once you create the backup, you can restore the site a few different ways:

  • Use the one-click Restore button 
  • Drag and drop the backup archive file into the Import page
  • Re-upload the backup archive and installer files to the server
  • Paste a disaster recovery link to roll back full-site errors

“I can rest assured that if anything goes wrong, I can easily restore everything with a click of a button and start over.”

Migrations work similarly. Instead of manually downloading a client’s files and database, Jan can now create a custom backup of the original site. Then, it can be easily transferred to another location.

Duplicator walks step-by-step through the migration process, making it easy and fast.
