Migrations & Re-platforming

Move to a faster, cheaper, safer stack — without losing what works.

Legacy platforms, sprawling SaaS bills and fragile databases quietly tax speed, cost and security. We migrate you to a modern, owned stack — standard to headless, onto Cloudflare's edge, off per-task automation, and onto clean governed data — as a controlled, reversible cutover, not a risky rebuild.

Controlled & reversible

Map current → required, migrate in parallel, then cut over staged with rollback ready — never a big-bang gamble.

Faithful by default

Content, data, integrations, SEO and redirects carried across with care — you keep what works.

Cheaper to run

Edge hosting, self-hosted automation and a clean data layer cut licence, hosting and per-task costs.

Every KPI is tied to a named owner and a target agreed up front — so this service is accountable to outcomes, not activity, for every stakeholder who consumes the value.

Why this matters

Functional value, value-stream value — and why it can't be ignored.

Functional value

Re-platforms websites, hosting, automation and data onto a modern, owned stack — standard→headless, →Cloudflare edge, Zapier/Make→n8n, and legacy→governed databases — via a controlled, reversible cutover.

Value-stream value

Removes structural drag from the whole value stream at once: faster surfaces, lower run-cost, fewer dependencies and trustworthy data — so every downstream service compounds on a cleaner foundation.

Why you can't ignore it

Legacy stacks compound their cost every year — licence fees, slow pages, per-task automation bills and fragile data. Staying put means paying more each quarter for less speed, less security and less control.

Why we migrate

The same reasons we choose technology — applied to what you already run.

We select technology last, against process readiness and a commercial objective — never tech for its own sake. Migration is that same discipline applied to your current stack: we move you only where it measurably protects value, cuts cost or unlocks speed. How we select technology →

Speed

Modern, edge-served stacks are sub-second. Slow surfaces cost conversion and SEO every single day.

Cost

Cut licence, hosting and per-task SaaS fees — pay for capability, not lock-in or idle enterprise tiers.

Security

Flat, edge architecture with almost nothing left to attack — fewer moving parts, smaller surface.

Ownership & no lock-in

Composable and self-hosted where it counts — you own the system, not rent someone else's.

Measurability

Clean data and KPIs baked in — you cannot improve, automate or apply AI to what you cannot measure.

Fit to process

The right tool for a designed system — selected against process readiness, so it amplifies, not adds friction.

Four migrations we run

A controlled cutover — not a risky rebuild.

Every migration follows the same disciplined path: map the current state, define the required state, carry content, data, integrations and SEO across faithfully, then cut over with rollback ready.

Standard → Headless

WordPress, Sitecore or Drupal rebuilt on Astro + Sanity — faithful, sub-second and far less to attack.

Hosting → Cloudflare edge

Legacy hosting, AWS or Azure moved to Cloudflare Pages, Workers & R2 — global edge, lower cost, fewer moving parts.

Zapier / Make → n8n

Per-task SaaS automations moved to self-hosted n8n — own your workflows, cut per-operation fees, no vendor lock-in.

Logical database migration

Legacy or fragmented databases moved to a clean, governed schema — integrity checked, lineage kept, zero-downtime cutover.

How a migration runs

Map it, move it faithfully, cut over with rollback.

A controlled, evidence-based sequence — so you migrate with confidence, and can always step back if needed.

01

Discovery & audit

Current state, dependencies, content/data inventory and the real risks — before anything moves.

02

Map current → required

Content, data, integrations, SEO and redirects mapped target-to-source, with success defined up front.

03

Build & migrate faithfully

Rebuilt in parallel, pixel- and schema-faithful — the live site keeps running throughout.

04

Controlled cutover

Staged switch with redirects in place and rollback ready — no big-bang gamble.

05

Verify & measure

Fidelity checks, performance and KPIs confirmed against the model — proven, not assumed.

One data layer · measured & owned

Every service creates data — captured, measured, owned.

Migrations & Re-platforming doesn’t just run — it generates signal. We land that data in one warehouse and turn it into live KPIs tied to a named owner, so performance is attributable and acted on, never trapped inside a single tool.

How we deliver · DMAIC

Every Migrations & Re-platforming engagement runs on DMAIC.

Define the goal and its value, measure the baseline, analyse the real constraint, improve with a proven build, then control the gains — so results are predictable, repeatable and defensible, not down to luck.

DDefine

Agree the goal, value, budget & timescale up front.

MMeasure

Baseline the KPIs above — current state, not guesswork.

AAnalyse

Diagnose the real constraint and the solution needed.

IImprove

Build the chosen solution; prove the uplift.

CControl

Lock in the gains; monitor and sustain them.

Start here · the free first step

Migrations & Re-platforming starts the same way every engagement does: with Discovery.

Two distinct moves — a free, no-obligation Discovery Session to find your value at stake, then the Discovery & Blueprint: 14 structured outputs — value model, roadmap and business case — before a pound of delivery is committed.
