End-to-End CMS Migration Services We Offer
CMS Audit & Migration Assessment
Comprehensive source-platform assessment covering content inventory, metadata quality, integrations, custom functionality, SEO baselines, and technical debt, providing migration complexity analysis, risk evaluation, and implementation estimates before project execution begins.

Structured WordPress-to-Sitefinity migration covering content, media, users, permissions, custom post types, and eCommerce functionality, with plugin-dependent features re-engineered as governed Sitefinity components for long-term maintainability and platform stability.
Sitecore to Sitefinity Migration
Migration from Sitecore XP, XM, and XM Cloud to Sitefinity, covering content, personalisation, forms, integrations, and front-end rebuilds—reducing platform complexity, lowering operational overhead, and delivering a more efficient editorial experience.
Umbraco, Drupal & Legacy CMS Migration
Migration from Umbraco, Drupal, Kentico, Optimizely, DNN, and custom CMS platforms, including content mapping, template rebuilds, integration modernisation, and SEO preservation—eliminating legacy technical debt rather than transferring it to the new Sitefinity environment.

Our Process For CMS Migration Delivery
A six-stage process – from CMS audit to governed production platform – with validated outputs at every stage.
CMS Audit & Migration Assessment
Source CMS content inventory, metadata quality assessment, integration mapping, SEO baseline measurement, custom functionality documentation, and technical debt identification – migration complexity, risk, and effort defined before any commitment is made.
Migration Architecture & Strategy Design
Content type mapping, taxonomy schema, URL strategy and redirect plan, integration rebuild specification, governance framework design, and deployment model selection (Cloud, on-premises, or hybrid headless) – migration blueprint reviewed and approved before build begins.
Development, Configuration & Integration
Sitefinity platform configuration, template and widget development, content type and module setup, CRM and third-party integration rebuild, content migration tooling development, and governance framework implementation – built and tested against your content and integration requirements.
Content Migration & Data Validation
Automated content migration execution, metadata validation, media asset migration, redirect map implementation, SEO element verification, and integration end-to-end testing – content completeness and accuracy validated before any production cutover decision is made.
UAT, Performance & Compliance Review
User acceptance testing with content and marketing teams, Core Web Vitals performance benchmarking, GDPR and compliance configuration validation, accessibility review, security review, and final redirect audit – every requirement validated before production launch approval.
Production Cutover, Hypercare & Optimisation
Zero-downtime production cutover, DNS transition, post-launch monitoring, redirect validation, search ranking monitoring, and intensive hypercare support – platform stabilised, optimised, and handed to your teams with documented governance and content operations framework.

FAQs on CMS Migration
Have a question? We’re here to help.
WordPress, Sitecore XP/XM/XM Cloud, Umbraco, Drupal, Kentico, Episerver/Optimizely, DotNetNuke, Joomla, Adobe Experience Manager, legacy .NET WebForms CMS platforms, and custom-built CMS environments. We also deliver Sitefinity version migrations from older WebForms and MVC versions to current ASP.NET Core Sitefinity – restoring platform currency without requiring full redesign or content re-entry.
SEO continuity begins in migration assessment – crawl baseline, ranking inventory, and URL mapping documented before any development starts. We implement structured 301 redirect maps covering every migrated URL, validate metadata migration for title tags, meta descriptions, and structured data, configure canonical tags on the new platform, and optimise Core Web Vitals performance before launch. Post-launch, we monitor search ranking and organic traffic for 30–60 days with rapid response to any ranking deviations detected.
A typical simple-to-mid-complexity Sitefinity implementation runs 12–20 weeks from kickoff to live – covering discovery, design, development, content migration, UAT, and launch. Complex migrations involving large content volumes, multiple integrations, headless architecture, or multi-site consolidation are scoped with clear milestones following the migration assessment. Content migration timeline is determined by content volume, metadata quality, and the complexity of source platform content structures – assessed during discovery before any timeline commitment is made.
Large content volumes are migrated through automated migration tooling – custom-built scripts mapping source content structures to target Sitefinity content types, automated media asset migration with metadata preservation, and batch validation checking content completeness and accuracy at every migration run. For content requiring editorial review during migration – reorganised taxonomy, updated metadata, or consolidated page structures – we design a structured editorial workflow that distributes review workload across your content team without requiring every page to be reviewed before launch.
Yes. Sitefinity migrations to headless/Next.js delivery are a standard service — we deliver the complete headless migration including Sitefinity backend configuration, Next.js frontend development using the official Sitefinity Next.js SDK, content API mapping, personalisation through Sitefinity Insight in headless mode, and enterprise integration connectivity. Sitefinity’s unique advantage is combining a full WYSIWYG visual page editor for content teams, native enterprise personalisation, and an officially-maintained Next.js SDK — your marketing team retains visual editorial experience while your engineering team operates a modern decoupled frontend architecture.
All integrations are mapped during the CMS audit – CRM, ERP, marketing automation, analytics, CDP, payment gateway, and custom API connections documented with data flow, authentication method, and functional requirements. Each integration is rebuilt on the new Sitefinity platform during the development phase, tested in isolation, and validated end-to-end before production cutover. No integration is assumed to transfer automatically – every connection is rebuilt, tested, and production-validated as a first-class migration deliverable.
CMS governance is designed as a migration deliverable, not a post-launch task. During migration architecture, we design content type governance, approval workflows, role-based access controls, content lifecycle policies, and digital asset management standards for the new Sitefinity platform. At launch, content team training is role-specific – editors, content managers, administrators, and developers each trained to their Sitefinity responsibilities. Post-launch governance reviews at 30, 60, and 90 days confirm governance adoption and identify any configuration adjustments required as your content operations scale on the new platform.
