Most migrations happen because a site has outgrown the platform it was built on. Which is probably why you're here...
Our CMS migration services help you move to a more suitable platform keeping your content, SEO and structure intact.
The trick is doing the work quietly in the background, without anyone noticing a thing.
What we do
We plan and deliver CMS migrations and related website migration services for content heavy websites.
That includes moving between platforms such as WordPress, Drupal or complex custom builds into something a bit more flexible and future proofed.
Our work often involves Craft CMS migration services, particularly for organisations that have outgrown their existing setup and need more control over content, structure and permissions. We also provide broader website migration services, whether you’re moving to a new CMS or rebuilding on a different platform.
Typical CMS migration work includes:
- Auditing your existing website and CMS
- Content inventories and mapping
- Defining new content models and structure
- Migrating pages, entries and assets
- Handling URLs, redirects and metadata
- Setting up previews, permissions and workflows
- Testing migrated content and templates
- Supporting launch and post launch checks
The aim is a clean transition, instead of a hasty lift and shift.

CMS migrations and SEO
Migrations can easily damage your SEO if they are rushed or poorly planned.
We build SEO considerations into every migration from the very beginning, from URL planning and redirects to metadata, internal linking and postlaunch checks.
The goal isn't just to move content, but to maintain existing performance and avoid ranking losses during and after the transition.
Ecommerce CMS migrations
We also support e-commerce CMS migration services. That can include product data, category structures, and links to payment, fulfilment or other systems your store depends on, while making sure orders and payments continue to work exactly as they should.
Craft CMS migrations
Craft CMS is often a good fit for organisations that need flexibility without complexity. It works particularly well for content-heavy sites, multi-section structures and teams that need straigtforward permissions and workflows.
Our Craft CMS migration services focus on setting up clean content models and templates that support future growth, not just recreating what you had before.

FAQs
It all depends on the size and complexity of the site. Smaller sites may take a few weeks, while larger or more complex migrations take longer. We will give you a realistic timeline once we have reviewed your current setup.
Our main goal is to protect your existing search visibility. That means careful URL planning, redirects and technical checks before and after launch. Some short term movement is normal, but big losses are 100% avoidable with the right preparation.
Often, yes. We use a mix of automated scripts and manual checks to make sure content moves accurately and consistently.
No. While we often recommend Craft CMS, we can support migrations to other platforms like Wordpress if they are a good fit for your needs.
Yup. We also provide website migration services where a CMS change is part of a wider redesign, rebuild or structural update.
