Welcome to WebmasterWorld Clearc01.

In most cases changing developers should have little or no impact on your site's rankings. However, who's to say what your new developers might do? I think your question might be a bit too vague to elicit much of a detailed response.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it! That is not to say don't change developers or hosting, but if there are elements in the page that get you ranked as you say, don't let a new developer play with it.

If the content and domain stays the same changing hosts should not matter.

I just moved a site to a new IP and nameservers without missing a beat.

Changing developers of course depends on what the new developers do.
