Transfer a website from WP to Joomla
-
Hello guy's,
We have a WP website and we are moving soon to a new site that will be in Joomla.
Our website is very big and we are ranking with more then 400 keys in all the tshirts industry in the UK.
The new website will be with the same url's and the same domain so we will not lose any of the ranking.
Within this domain we have the blogs as well and a lot of pages.I'd like to get some tips about how to make the transition as smooth as we can to avoid problems with Google ?
We have more then 700 visitor a day so we can not take any risks regarding to this.
Any help is welcome !!!

If all that is changing is the CMS and all new pages and the structure / hierarchy is going to remain the same, you really shouldn't come across too many issues.
Is there a particular reason for the move to Joomla?
Although this is Joomla to Wordpress, you may find some helpful hints in there http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-move-your-site-from-joomla-to-wordpress/
Maybe something here that will help too:

Hi Edmond,
Matt Cutts from Google, has great SEO tips for moving CMS platforms in this video.
If you are looking for a more technical help this resource and this should help.
Hope this helps!
PS: But like Andy, I am really curious, why you are choosing to move from WP to Joomla, in most cases WP is superior to Joomla, and that has much to do with the community behind Wordpress.

My main concern was that a big website the ranking with a lot of keys will get a bomp in the ranking.
We will leave the url's the same as its critical for the results.We decided to move to Joomla because my boss got convinced for some reason that its better then WP.
Thank you for your help !!

You are on the spot with this, Edmond: "We will leave the url's the same as its critical for the results."
