CMS Migration Services

We replatform your business from legacy CMS like WordPress & AEM to a high-performance headless stack. Gain content autonomy, improve publishing velocity, and protect your SEO rankings.

Business Impact

Organizations don't migrate from legacy platforms like WordPress, AEM, or even first-generation headless CMSs just for new technology. They migrate because their existing content systems have become a bottleneck to growth. As content operations scale, these platforms often lead to slow performance, over-reliance on developer tickets, unpredictable costs, and a frustrating editor experience.

The core challenge is that your current architecture wasn't designed for the speed and complexity your business demands today. A simple "lift-and-shift" is not enough; you need a strategic architectural upgrade.

As an engineer-led headless CMS migration agency, we solve this problem by replatforming your digital experience onto a modern, scalable foundation. Our process focuses on business outcomes: empowering your marketing team with content autonomy, improving publishing velocity, and reducing long-term total cost of ownership. We redesign your content operations to be a competitive advantage, ensuring performance and technical SEO are built-in from day one.

Legacy & Monolithic CMS vs. Modern Headless Architecture

Unpredictable, Punitive Pricing
Per-seat and per-locale charges compound quickly. Scaling teams or markets forces costly upgrades.
Transparent & Flexible Pricing
Predictable SaaS or usage-based pricing. Open-source options (Payload) have zero license fees. You scale without penalty.
Rigid, Form-Based Editing
Editors work in abstract forms with no live preview. Launching new page layouts requires a developer.
Visual, Composable Editing
Live visual editing (Storyblok) and fully customizable studios (Sanity) empower editors to build and publish independently.
Limited, UI-Driven Content Models
Hard limits on content types force architectural compromises. Complex relationships and omnichannel delivery are difficult.
Unlimited, Code-First Schemas
Define the exact content structures your business needs with scalable, code-defined schemas (Sanity, Payload) that have no GUI caps.
Developer-Dependent Operations
Every new component, integration, or content type change creates a new ticket for the engineering team, slowing down marketing.
Marketing & Editorial Autonomy
Developers build a flexible system of modular components once. Editors then own the day-to-day, launching campaigns and pages without dev support.
Vendor Lock-In & Black Box Systems
Your data and infrastructure are controlled by the vendor. No self-hosting options mean migrating away becomes progressively harder and more expensive.
Full Ownership & Data Sovereignty
Own your stack completely. With platforms like Payload, you deploy on your own infrastructure, ensuring no vendor lock-in and full control over your data.
Performance as an Afterthought
Monolithic architecture and plugin bloat often lead to slow load times and poor Core Web Vitals that are difficult to fix.
Performance & SEO as Defaults
Our architecture is performance-first. Every migration includes baselines for Core Web Vitals, structured data, and SEO best practices from day one.

What Makes Our Website Migration Agency Stand Out

Most agencies treat a CMS migration as a lift-and-shift job. We treat it as an architectural upgrade—one that sets your team up to move faster, long after launch day.

Certified Partners & Deep Expertise

Sanity, Storyblok, Contentful, and Payload aren't tools we've dabbled with — they're platforms we've built on across dozens of production deployments. That depth means fewer surprises, faster setup, and better outcomes from our website migration services.

We migrate from anywhere

Whether you're leaving WordPress, Webflow, Contentful, AEM, Sitecore, Drupal, we've already done it before. Our migration agency bring tested scripts, content model blueprints, and CMS migration playbooks — not improvised solutions.

Governance and editorial UX are built in from day one

A clean website migration isn't enough if your editors are still blocked by dev tickets. We design content models and workflows so your marketing team can build pages, launch campaigns, and manage content independently.

90% of our projects fit the initial budget

That's not luck — it's a result of the time we invest upfront to fully scope what we're building before writing a single line of code. Our CMS Kit accelerates every engagement without locking you into a rigid template.

Performance & SEO Built-In, Not Bolted-On

Every website migration service we deliver ships with Core Web Vitals baselines, structured data, 301 redirect mapping, and AI SEO setup as standard — so you protect your rankings while gaining a faster, more scalable foundation.

Post-launch retainer

As a full-service website migration agency, we deliver turnkey website migration services — from the initial audit through to post-launch. Every project comes with a dedicated website migration consultant who stays with you through go-live and beyond, handling monitoring, fixes, and iterations.

Our SEO migration services ensure your rankings are protected throughout, while our ongoing retainer keeps your new stack healthy as your business scales. When you work with a website migration expert team, the engagement doesn't end at deployment — it evolves with you.

FAQs

Headless CMS Migration: Your Questions Answered

A CMS migration moves your content, media, templates, and key features to a new platform so marketing can launch campaigns faster without fighting legacy tools, while tech leads get a cleaner, more maintainable architecture that is easier to extend and support

No. If you're running a simple blog or brochure site that doesn't need custom frontend development, a traditional CMS is probably simpler and cheaper.

Headless CMS makes the most sense when you need editorial independence, when performance and SEO are critical, when you're publishing across multiple platforms, or when your frontend requirements have outgrown what a monolithic CMS can support. We'll tell you honestly which approach fits. As an experienced headless cms migration agency, our first job is to provide a transparent consultation, even if that means recommending against a headless approach for your specific needs.

A CMS migration cost can vary widely. Factors include content transfer, redesign, integrations, SEO redirects, and testing. However, we can provide realistic cost ranges for 2026.

Typical website CMS migration services cost range this way:

  • Small website (simple CMS, <20–50 pages): $300 – $2,500 (often plugin-based or lightweight freelancer work)
  • Standard business CMS migration (WordPress, Webflow, etc.): $2,000 – $10,000 (includes theme setup, content migration, basic SEO handling)
  • CMS-to-CMS migration with redesign or restructuring costs between $5,000 and $20,000+. This includes new templates, data mapping, integrations, and UX work
  • Complex / enterprise CMS migration (large sites, ecommerce, custom systems): $20,000 – $100,000+. This is the typical investment when partnering with a dedicated headless cms migration agency, as it includes in-depth strategy, resilient architecture, multi-environment testing, and comprehensive SEO preservation.

Most migrations take from a few weeks to several months, giving marketers a clear roadmap for when they can start using new capabilities, and giving tech leads predictable phases for refactoring, integration work, and risk management

With proper URL mapping, 301 redirects, and SEO parity, marketers protect their existing traffic and revenue, while tech leads gain a structured redirect and monitoring setup that makes future changes safer

Key risks include data loss, broken journeys, and downtime. Marketers want tracking, funnels, and campaigns to run smoothly.

Key risks include data loss, broken journeys, and downtime. This is where partnering with a headless cms migration agency becomes critical. Instead of relying on a single tech lead, you get a team that uses proven migration scripts, rigorous staging tests, and detailed rollback plans to ensure a stable and predictable transition.

We validate content, assets, and critical integrations in staging so marketers can confidently continue campaigns on day one, and tech leads get automated checks, regression tests, and observability around the new stack
