Website Content Migration Services

Rapid Catalyst specializes in the management of large website content migration efforts. Whether in the beginning stages of project planning or in the middle of a migration, we can help.

 

Areas of Focus

Content migration involves many more steps than teams often realize. This is one of the main reasons content migration is one of the most underestimated and under-funded efforts of large redesign projects. Our teams help clients avoid some of these issues by maintaining expertise in the following areas:

​

• Information architecture

• Content strategy

• Content development

• Business analysis

• Data architecture/data modeling

• Data mapping

• Script development

• HTML, CSS, JavaScript development

• Image Editing

• Manual migration

• CMS training

• Quality assurance

• Functional documentation

• Migration mapping and instruction documents

• Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, performance optimization

• Project Management

 

Content Management Systems

Large website redesigns generally involve various technologies, information repositories, and content management systems. We understand that each of these systems has their own strengths and challenges which can impact the extraction, transformation, import, entry, and editing of content during the migration cycles. Whether using Sitecore, WordPress, Drupal, TeamSite, Ektron, or any other CMS, Rapid Catalyst will customize the migration process around each system's unique architecture and capabilities.

 

Content Mapping and Data Transformation

By their nature, large website redesign projects usually include changes to the underlying data architecture of the site as well as modifications to the associated data types and field formats. These factors alone can introduce the need for a large number of complex data maps and transformation rules. These rules can get increasingly complex when data relationships also need to be maintained (or altered). Identifying, documenting, and executing these rules in the most efficient manner possible is one of Rapid Catalyst's primary functions during the migration process.
