CMS migration

Move the contentand retire legacy debt

A CMS migration should simplify models, clarify governance, and give teams a better publishing system. Copying the old database into a new product leaves the underlying problems intact.

Before migration

Inventory what content means and who owns it.

We map content types, relationships, locales, media, URLs, workflows, integrations, and editorial pain before defining the target model.

Model

Separate reusable meaning from page-specific presentation.

Workflow

Design roles, drafts, review, preview, and publication around the real team.

Migration

Transform, validate, and reconcile content with repeatable scripts.

SEO

Preserve URLs, metadata, structured data, and redirect requirements.

How we work

Senior people stay close from decision to delivery.

We begin with the commercial and operational constraint, align the experience and architecture, then ship in reviewable increments. The team that frames the problem remains accountable through launch.

Frame

Align the market, customer, business case, constraints, and definition of success.

Design

Turn the strategy into journeys, content, systems, and prototypes that can be tested.

Build

Engineer the storefront and integrations with performance, accessibility, and maintainability in view.

Improve

Use launch data, customer behavior, and operating feedback to prioritize the next release.

Common destinations

Sanity when structured content and market variation matter.

We often pair Sanity with Next.js or a Shopify headless storefront, but the migration method starts with requirements rather than a preferred vendor.

Common questions

Can editors keep publishing during the migration?

Often, depending on volume and launch risk. The plan may use a content freeze window, incremental sync, or a dual-entry period.

Do all legacy fields need to move?

No. We identify obsolete, duplicated, and presentation-only fields so the new model does not inherit avoidable debt.
