CMS migration service

Move the content model, not just the visible pages

A reliable CMS migration translates structured content, fields, relationships, assets, users, metadata, and URLs into a prepared destination.

What the migration covers

The exact entity scope depends on the source and destination, but the migration plan accounts for both visible content and the relationships that make it usable.

Editorial content

Pages, posts, articles, custom types, publication state, dates, excerpts, and authors.

Structure

Fields, taxonomies, categories, tags, relationships, references, and reusable content.

Assets and users

Images, documents, alt text, supported users, roles, and ownership.

SEO data

Slugs, titles, descriptions, canonicals, internal links, source URLs, and redirects.

What requires separate scope

Visual design, templates, application functionality, unsupported plugins, forms, checkout behavior, and destination development are not assumed to transfer automatically. They are documented and quoted separately when needed.

How we deliver it

  1. 1. Inventory: Crawl and query the source to establish entities, fields, assets, URLs, and exceptions.
  2. 2. Map: Approve destination types, fields, transformations, fallbacks, and URL rules.
  3. 3. Dry run: Transfer representative content and resolve systematic exceptions in staging.
  4. 4. Validate: Reconcile totals and inspect complex records, assets, metadata, links, and rendering.
  5. 5. Cut over: Run the approved production and delta plan with launch checks and rollback conditions.

Clear answers

Frequently asked questions

Yes, when the source values and destination model can be mapped consistently. We validate representative complex records before production.

No. Data migration can populate a prepared destination, while theme, component, and template development remain a separate workstream.

Users can often be migrated. Password portability depends on the hashing and authentication models; incompatible hashes require a secure reset process.

We inventory source URLs, define one-to-one destinations where possible, test redirect coverage, and monitor launch errors.
