Website Content Migration

Web Site Content does not just consist of the text and images appearing on a web page. Content constitutes everything on your website and managed through your CMS, from webpage text to links, file types, metadata, permissions and targeting, etc.  Content migration refers to moving web content from one platform to another, usually during the replacement or upgrading of a web content management system .  Ideally, a content migration takes place as one of the final steps in a development process that integrated a user-driven discovery process and requirements phase. Content migration is a concern for any organization looking to update their website, or moving to a new content management system (CMS), or upgrading to a new version of their current platform. Whatever your circumstances, you’ll need to be sure you understand the extent of your content migration project, so that you’ll be able to complete the migration in time for launch.

AUTOMATED OR MANUAL MIGRATION

Depending on your situation, either solution might be preferable, and you will need to consider the above advantages and disadvantages to determine what works best for you. In reality, a hybrid approach is often necessary, utilizing an automated solution to migrate certain pages or sections, and then migrating other pages manually. With the technology shift that occurs when moving to a new platform, not all features will be able to translate from the old site to the new site.

Manual Content Migration

Manual content migration could be called the “human approach,” since it involves a person or team of people doing the work of copying and pasting a site’s content from one platform to another, as well as manually uploading any related images or resources and updating any navigational links.
