Budget Heating BigCommerce Website Migration and Redesign: Everything You Need to Know About the Budgetheating.com Transformation

  • How long did the migration take?

    The full Volusion to BigCommerce migration took about eight months from kickoff to launch. That timeline included data transfer, design, development, and QA testing. Keeping the project under two months minimized downtime and got Budget Heating selling on the new platform quickly.

  • Was there any downtime during the migration?

    No. We used a BigCommerce sandbox during the migration process so Budget Heating could stay live on Volusion while we built the new BigCommerce site in parallel. The final switch happened overnight to avoid disrupting customer orders.

  • How did you make sure no data was lost in the process?

    Our development team performed a full export of Budget Heating’s product, customer, and order data from the old Volusion platform, then validated every record before migration. Multiple test imports were run in a staging environment to confirm data accuracy before launch. This careful, step-by-step process ensured that order history, customer accounts, and catalog details transferred safely with zero loss.

  • Do all platform migration and redesign projects take longer than six to eight months? in the redesign?

    No. Timelines depend on the project’s size, data complexity, and approval process, but not every migration needs half a year. Budget Heating’s full Volusion to BigCommerce migration—complete with a full redesign, navigation rebuild, and SEO setup—was finished in around 8 months. Clear communication, defined goals, and an organized workflow kept the project moving quickly without cutting corners.rich content, optimized metadata, and enhanced site structure to drive organic traffic and increase visibility.

  • What happens if an issue comes up after launch?

    All MAKDigital projects include a post-launch monitoring period to address any issues immediately. Clients can also opt for ongoing BigCommerce support retainers that cover maintenance, updates, and SEO optimization to ensure consistent long-term performance.

  • We’ve had bad experiences with developers before — how do you keep clients in the loop?

    Every project at MAKDigital runs on a structured communication plan. We provide progress updates, clear milestone check-ins, and shared project boards so clients always know what’s in progress and what’s next. During Budget Heating’s migration, our team kept open communication through scheduled calls and transparent reporting, ensuring no surprises or delays. This approach builds accountability and trust from start to finish.

  • What if our team doesn’t have technical experience?

    That’s completely fine—most of our clients don’t. We design every BigCommerce site so non-technical users can easily manage products, pricing, and content without relying on a developer. After launch, we host a hands-on training session and we can also provide detailed documentation so your staff can confidently handle day-to-day updates. For more complex changes, our support team remains available to assist whenever needed.

  • Can the Budget Heating team make updates on their own now?

    Yes. One of the main benefits of BigCommerce is that the team can update products, categories, and content without developer help. We also trained their staff after launch so they could manage daily changes confidently.
