Keep the architecture understandable.
Review pages, navigation, URLs and information structure before moving the website into its new environment.
A website migration is more than moving files from one place to another. Structure, content, data, URLs and functionality all need to travel with a clear plan and controlled transition.
Plan Your Migration ↗The visible website is only one part of a migration. A successful transition considers the technical and business elements that support the experience.
Review pages, navigation, URLs and information structure before moving the website into its new environment.
Content should be mapped and transferred carefully so important pages and resources are not overlooked.
Databases, media and connected website data need a controlled transition appropriate to the platform being migrated.
Forms, integrations, features and important user journeys should be checked before the new environment becomes live.
Instead of treating migration as one large switch, the work can be separated into controlled stages that make dependencies easier to see.
Understand the existing website.
Map content, data and dependencies.
Move the required website assets.
Check structure, functionality and experience.
Transition into the new environment.
Identify the information that needs to remain available.
Review URLs, redirects and page relationships during the move.
Test the interactions visitors and teams depend on.
Check forms, integrations and external dependencies.
Validation turns a migration from a simple transfer into a controlled transition. Key areas can be reviewed before the new website takes over.
