When you migrate, your WordPress website has the default theme installed
(currently, it’s Twenty Twelve). To personalize it, set up the suitable theme and

WordPress plugin directory right from your dashboard. Go to Plugins ->Add New.
Use search function or browse by tag to find the needed plugin.

•set up 301 permanent redirects (you can do so using redirection bridge you'll get
from CMS2CMS after migration).

•create Google Webmaster Tools account for the new site
•generate and submit to Google your new XML sitemap. Click here for more info.
4. Test your new site
Make sure all the functions are working properly, pages and posts are
displayed correctly and all forms (registration, contact, login etc. function well).
