We Build On
We Migrate From
From CMS migration to legacy platform replacement, these fourteen capabilities cover website migration end to end.
Migrating from an outdated or restrictive CMS without a structured plan means content gets moved but the underlying problems that drove the migration, poor editorial workflows, limited flexibility, come along for the ride too. We migrate websites between content management systems, preserving content structure, media, and editorial workflows while using the migration as an opportunity to fix the platform limitations that made the move necessary in the first place.
Businesses moving between ecommerce platforms, Shopify, Magento, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, and others, are usually chasing better integrations, performance, or merchandising capability the current platform cannot provide, not just a change for its own sake. We migrate ecommerce stores to the platform that actually fits your operational and merchandising requirements, addressing the specific limitation driving the move rather than trading one set of platform constraints for another.
Moving a website to a new technology platform from scratch discards years of accumulated content, functionality, and business logic that a properly planned migration could preserve while still solving the platform limitations driving the change. We plan website platform migrations from legacy systems to modern architecture, moving your entire website, not just its content, so the migration solves the underlying platform problem without losing what already works.
Copying content into a new platform without preserving metadata, navigation structure, and internal linking produces a website that technically has all the same words but has lost the structure that made the content findable and coherent. We migrate pages, blogs, media, metadata, and navigation as a structured content migration, moving content intact rather than dumping text into a new system and rebuilding the structure from memory afterward.
f any migration, since a mishandled data migration can silently corrupt or lose business-critical information nobody notices until much later. We plan database migrations for structured business data and custom schemas, handling incompatible data structures deliberately and validating data integrity throughout the transition rather than treating the database as an afterthought behind the visible website.
A large product catalog with thousands of SKUs, variants, and category relationships is exactly where migrations most commonly lose or corrupt data, since manual handling of that volume of structured information is where mistakes compound fastest. We migrate products, variants, categories, pricing, and inventory data with automated tooling built for the scale of large catalogs, preserving data accuracy across thousands of products rather than accepting the errors manual migration inevitably introduces.
Losing customer purchase history and order records during a migration does not just lose data, it loses the context that lets returning customers pick up their relationship with your business where they left off. We migrate customer accounts, purchase history, and order records with careful data validation, preserving the actual customer relationship your business has built over time rather than starting every customer’s history over at zero on the new platform.
A migration that moves standard content well but leaves custom calculators, configurators, and business-specific functionality behind hands you a new website that technically works but is missing the exact features your business actually depended on. We migrate custom functionality including calculators, configurators, search features, account areas, and business workflows, rebuilding the specific tools your business relies on rather than only migrating the parts of the site a template covers.
A migrated website that no longer talks to your CRM, payment gateway, or inventory system has traded one set of problems for another, since disconnected integrations recreate the exact manual work those integrations were built to eliminate. We migrate API connections and third-party integrations including CRM, ERP, payment gateways, shipping, and inventory systems, reconnecting the new website to everything the old site talked to rather than leaving integration as an afterthought.
A website still running on outdated or undersized hosting infrastructure inherits every limitation of that environment, scalability ceilings, reliability issues, that cloud migration was specifically designed to remove. We migrate hosting and infrastructure to AWS, Azure, or other modern cloud environments, moving your website onto infrastructure that scales with demand and grows with your business rather than staying constrained by hosting decisions made years earlier.
A migration handled without a documented SEO plan can silently erase years of accumulated search rankings, sending traffic to broken links and confusing search engines about which pages still exist. We treat SEO as a core technical requirement throughout migration, planning redirect mapping, canonical tags, sitemap configuration, and metadata preservation from the start, so search visibility survives the transition rather than getting addressed as damage control after launch.
Changing domains or URL structures without a documented mapping breaks bookmarks, inbound links, and search results all at once, turning a single technical change into a scattered mess of broken links across the entire site. We plan domain and URL migrations with documented redirect mapping from every old URL to its new destination, so a domain or structure change happens cleanly rather than quietly breaking links across your entire web presence.
Redesigning a website and migrating it to a new platform as two separate projects means paying for two rounds of implementation work and living with an outdated design a little longer than necessary while waiting for the second project. We combine website redesign with platform migration as one coordinated project, modernizing the look, the platform, and the underlying technology together, rather than treating design and migration as unrelated efforts scheduled months apart.
A legacy website running on a platform that is difficult to maintain, expensive to scale, or no longer receiving updates becomes a bigger business risk every year the migration gets postponed. We migrate legacy websites off outdated CMS and ecommerce platforms carefully, preserving business logic and content accumulated over years while moving your business off a system that has become a genuine constraint rather than a stable foundation.
