Move Forward.
Without Breaking.
Legacy systems don't have to be permanent. We migrate CMS platforms, refactor inherited codebases, and re-platform monolithic applications to modern, maintainable architectures — with zero-downtime strategies that keep your users unaware anything changed.
Migration Capabilities
From CMS-to-CMS platform switches to deep legacy refactors — we handle every dimension of a modernization project with minimal disruption to your users.
CMS & Platform Migrations
Full site moves between CMS platforms — Drupal 7 to Drupal 11, WordPress multisite consolidations, or custom PHP platforms onto modern frameworks. Content, configuration, users, and media all migrate with full fidelity.
- Drupal major-version upgrades (6 / 7 / 8 / 9 → 11)
- WordPress to Drupal or headless CMS
- Content, taxonomy & media mapping
Legacy Code Refactoring
Inherited codebases accumulate technical debt fast. We audit your application, identify high-risk areas, and methodically refactor towards testable, documented, standards-compliant code without rewriting everything at once.
- PHP 5 / 7 to PHP 8.x upgrades
- Procedural to OOP / PSR-4 namespacing
- Unit test coverage on refactored modules
Zero-Downtime Transitions
Migrations don't have to mean maintenance windows. We use blue-green deployments, feature flags, and parallel-run strategies so your live site stays available throughout the entire cutover process.
- Blue-green & canary deployment patterns
- Feature-flag controlled rollouts
- Instant rollback plan documented upfront
Re-Platforming & Stack Upgrades
Moving from a shared-hosting PHP monolith to containerised, cloud-native infrastructure — or from bare-metal servers to managed cloud. We scope the architecture, manage the data migration, and oversee the infrastructure cutover end to end.
- Monolith to containerised microservices
- Shared hosting to VPS / cloud migration
- LAMP stack to modern cloud-native setup
Database Migration & Schema Evolution
Moving years of data between schemas, database engines, or vendors — MySQL to PostgreSQL, flat table structures to relational models, or legacy custom tables to standardised entity systems — with full integrity checks before and after.
- MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB cross-migrations
- ETL scripting & row-level validation
- Drupal custom tables to entity / field API
API & Integration Modernization
Replacing SOAP services with REST or GraphQL, upgrading deprecated third-party integrations, and breaking apart spaghetti service layers into clean, documented APIs that can evolve independently.
- SOAP → REST / GraphQL rewrites
- Legacy webhook & OAuth 1.0 upgrades
- API documentation (OpenAPI / Swagger)
What Sets Us Apart
Migrations go wrong for predictable reasons. Over 50 projects we've learned where the risk sits — and how to engineer it out.
Audit Before We Touch Anything
Every engagement starts with a full inventory of your current stack — content structures, custom code, third-party integrations, and database schema. No surprises mid-project because we found the edge cases upfront.
Zero Data Loss — Guaranteed
We run row-level reconciliation between source and destination before any cutover. If counts and checksums don't match, we don't proceed. Your data arrives complete and intact or the migration doesn't ship.
Your Users Don't Notice
We design transitions so editors, admins, and end users experience no disruption — same URLs, same workflows, same performance. The technology underneath changes; the experience for your audience stays consistent.
Handover, Not Handoff
We leave your team with documentation, runbooks, and a trained understanding of the new architecture — not a black-box system only we know how to operate. Post-migration support retainers available when you need continued cover.
From Audit to Go-Live
Five stages, every migration — so there are no surprises, no scope creep, and a clear rollback path at every step.
Audit & Inventory
Full inventory of your current stack — content types, custom code, integrations, database schema, and known pain points. This is the foundation of an accurate migration plan.
Migration Plan
A written plan covering data mappings, custom code rewrites, cutover strategy, rollback procedure, and timeline — reviewed and approved by you before any work begins.
Build & Test
Migration scripts written and tested against a copy of your live data. Custom code rewritten to target platform standards. Full functional regression testing against the staging environment.
Parallel Run
Old and new systems run side by side. Traffic can be split or the new platform accessed by stakeholders for sign-off before the public sees it. Data sync keeps both environments current.
Cutover & Support
DNS cutover executed on a low-traffic window with us on standby. Post-launch monitoring for 30 days. Rollback available for 14 days post-cutover. Handover documentation delivered at close.
