CMS migration services

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. We also provide website migration services where a CMS change is part of a wider redesign, rebuild or structural update.

What we do

We plan and deliver CMS migrations and related website migration services for content led 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 structure, permissions and content.

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 is not 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, where products, content and integrations all need to move across together without breaking things. 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 working 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 clear 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.

 

Who this service is for:

Our CMS migration services could be a good fit for you if:

  • Your current CMS is tricky to use or difficult to maintain
  • Your content has outgrown the structure it was built on
  • You are planning a redesign or rebuild alongside a migration
  • You want to move platforms without damaging search performance

If you're looking for a CMS migration agency to guide the process, we can help.

How we work

We start by understanding your current site. That means reviewing content types, integrations, traffic patterns and how your team actually uses the CMS day to day.

From there, we define the new structure and plan the migration in detail before anything gets moved over. This is what keeps the wheels on and helps protect important content and URLs.

During the migration, we test continuously and resolve issues as they appear. After launch, we monitor the site closely and deal with anything unexpected that crops up after launch once real users are involved.

FAQ

How long does a CMS migration take?

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.

Will we lose SEO ranking during a migration?

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.

Can you migrate content automatically?

Often, yes. We use a mix of automated scripts and manual checks to make sure content moves accurately and consistently.

Do you only migrate to Craft CMS?

No. While we often recommend Craft CMS, we can support migrations to other platforms if they are a good fit for your needs.
