Is your organization ready for a new website or CMS? Then the big question is: how do you ensure that your content is transferred properly? Our migration specialists will help you migrate your content to the new environment. Cleanly structured on the back end. And neatly displayed on the front end.
The content on your (new) website must be up-to-date and accurate. That sounds simple, but it isn't. When content is transferred to a new website or CMS, it's easy to see. For example, content may turn out to be extremely outdated, inaccurate, or completely inaccessible. If content is not properly assessed and transferred, your new website will also cause problems. Careful content migration is therefore essential.
“Content migration by Swink means flexibility and quality. It is full service: from transferring content to writing it.”
Corine Borghardt Senior Communications Advisor at St. Antonius Hospital
What good content migration can do for you
When you let us handle your content migration, you can be sure that your new website will get off to a flying start:
Not just transferring, but also critically assessing. We don't just transfer everything to the new website indiscriminately. Together with you, we carefully consider which content can stay and what can be removed.
Attention to content, form, and structure. This also (and especially) concerns the back-end structure. Think of the proper use of headings and other HTML tags.
Be sure that you start out digitally accessible. As an agency, we specialize in digital accessibility. So you can be sure that content migration by Swink means that your content is checked for digital accessibility.
Content migration: how it works
1. Intake
The sooner we are involved in your project, the faster we can resolve common issues. Together, we determine the scope of the migration and the schedule.
2. Assessment
We take stock of your content so that we can determine which pages need to be migrated, which need updating, and which are better left behind. As a pilot, we migrate a number of pages so that we can make a good time estimate and schedule. This also allows us to identify any potential problems quickly.
3. Migrating content
We transfer the (updated) content to the new CMS. Naturally, we pay attention to aspects that are important for findability (SEO) and accessibility.
4. Final check
Once the content has been migrated, we check that everything is in order. Are there any broken links or missing images? When the site goes live, we immediately check that all redirects are working properly. If you are moving to a new domain, we will adjust Google Search Console accordingly.
You will be working with specialists. We know everything there is to know about accessible content and have been working for government agencies and businesses for years. With our knowledge and experience, we can help you comply with the law.
