Redirects & pre-launch migration
When migrating to a new Content Management System, it's crucial to consider the search engine impact to your business.
Redirect-mapping prevents broken links and helps preserve SEO rankings, while reviewing indexation statuses ensures that the right pages are indexed by search engines after migration.
Additionally, setting proper canonical URLs during migration helps prevent duplicate pages from negatively impacting search ranking performance.

Which CMS platforms can you migrate from?
We have experience migrating from Umbraco, Drupal, Contentful, Sitecore, and a range of other content management systems. Whatever platform you are currently on, we will assess the best approach for moving to WordPress.
How long does a CMS migration typically take?
Timelines vary depending on the size and complexity of your site. A straightforward migration can take 8-12 weeks, while larger sites with bespoke functionality or multiple content types may take longer. We provide a detailed timeline during the scoping phase.
Will my SEO rankings be affected during migration?
Our SEO team works alongside the development team throughout the migration to protect your rankings. This includes comprehensive redirect mapping, indexation review, and canonical URL management. The goal is a seamless transition with minimal disruption.
Can you migrate our content and design, or just the platform?
We offer both options. We can recreate your existing design within WordPress, or use the migration as an opportunity to redesign with a fresh look and improved user experience. Content migration is handled carefully to preserve structure and formatting.
What happens to our existing URLs during migration?
We map every existing URL to its new equivalent and implement 301 redirects to preserve link equity and prevent broken links. Our SEO team handles this as part of the pre-migration process.
