WEBSITE MIGRATION

Migrations where losing traffic is not an acceptable outcome.

Moving a marketing site off WordPress or Webflow is not a design project with a copy-paste phase. At real scale it is a redirect architecture problem, a CMS modelling problem and an SEO problem wearing a redesign’s clothes. Deserve has run migrations at 200+ pages with 600+ CMS entries and launch-week traffic in the six figures.

Most migration horror stories are redirect stories.

The design gets approved, the content gets moved, the site goes live, and three weeks later organic traffic is down forty percent because a few hundred legacy URLs quietly 404. Every one of those was preventable at planning time, and none of them are visible in a design review.

We treat the redirect map, the canonical logic and the CMS model as the first deliverables, not the last. On PetDesk that meant an extensive redirect architecture across a 200-page WordPress estate. On Roamless it meant continuous redirect maintenance across 12+ locales for three years as the content structure kept changing.

URL inventory

Every live URL, its traffic, its backlinks and whether it deserves to survive.

CMS modelling

The content structure rebuilt properly rather than replicated field for field.

Redirect architecture

A complete map including wildcards, legacy routes and changed slugs.

Rebuild

Design and production in Framer, with page templates that scale.

SEO parity

Metadata, structured data, canonicals and internal linking checked page by page.

Post-launch watch

Search Console monitoring and fixes in the weeks that actually matter.

Migrations that ran at difficult scale.

PetDesk moved off WordPress with 200+ static pages, 600+ CMS entries and 50+ HubSpot forms, launched complete on the day, and took roughly 200K visitors in week one. Armor migrated a regulated cybersecurity platform. Xpander used the migration to simplify a CMS structure that had grown too complex to maintain.

PetDesk

WordPress to Framer: 200+ pages, 600+ CMS entries, 50+ forms, complete on launch day.

Armor

A regulated-industry security platform migrated and restructured, 40+ pages live.

Xpander

Migration used to collapse an over-complex CMS into something the team can run.

When to migrate

When the CMS is slowing your marketing team down more than it is helping, or when every page change needs a developer.

When not to

Mid-quarter, before a major campaign, or without anyone owning the redirect map. Timing is most of the risk.

Lift and shift

The old structure recreated in a new tool, including every problem that made you want to leave.

Migrate and simplify

The move used as the one chance you get to fix the content model, the URLs and the page hierarchy.

What a migration includes
