Move to a better platform without losing what already works

A migration is not just copying pages. URLs, metadata, forms, analytics, search visibility and editorial workflows all need to survive the move. I plan the transition as a controlled technical project, validate it before launch and monitor the parts most likely to fail afterwards.

Content and URL inventory before anything is moved
Redirects, metadata and structured data preserved deliberately
Forms, analytics, search and external integrations reconnected
Staged launch with crawl, tracking and production verification

Who this is for

Businesses moving from an outdated WordPress theme, proprietary CMS or unsupported stack
Teams adopting a headless CMS or rebuilding a frontend in Next.js
Companies changing hosting, domain structure or content architecture
Sites that need a safer editor experience without sacrificing existing search visibility

What the migration includes

Discovery and inventory — pages, media, content types, URLs, metadata, forms, scripts, integrations and editorial workflows documented.
Target architecture — the new CMS, content model, frontend and hosting chosen around team needs rather than trend alone.
Content migration — structured transfer, cleanup and validation instead of uncontrolled copy-paste.
SEO preservation — URL mapping, redirects, canonicals, hreflang, metadata, schema, sitemap and robots behavior reviewed before launch.
Integration continuity — forms, CRM, search, email, analytics, consent and other business-critical services reconnected and tested.
Quality assurance — visual, functional, content and responsive checks against the agreed source and acceptance criteria.
Launch and monitoring — controlled deployment, crawl validation, tracking checks and post-release issue resolution.

What you receive

A migration plan and risk register, content and redirect mappings, the implemented target platform, verified integrations, launch checklist and post-release report. If the current design and content structure remain effective, the project can preserve them; a full redesign is not required simply because the technology changes.

How it works

Audit — I inventory the existing site and identify SEO, content, integration and operational risks.
Map — we define the target architecture, content model, redirects, acceptance criteria and rollback plan.
Migrate and test — content and functionality move into a staging environment and are validated before launch.
Launch and verify — the new site is released in a controlled window, then crawlability, analytics and critical flows are checked again.

Frequently asked questions

Who is Website & CMS Migration for?

Website & CMS Migration is for founders, small businesses and teams that need hands-on work on a website or web product, not just high-level recommendations.

How does the engagement start?

We start with a short description of your goal, current state and constraints. I then suggest the scope, priorities, next steps and a realistic delivery model.

Do you implement recommendations in code?

Yes. I work as a developer, so I can not only prepare a plan but also implement changes in code, site structure, integrations and configuration.
