Migrations
Move off the legacy stack without losing data, traffic, or sleep. Incremental, reversible, boring on purpose.
What this engagement actually looks like — start to ship.
Most migrations fail because someone promised a clean cutover in a weekend. We do not. We map your data, your traffic, and your edge cases first, then move in slices you can roll back — strangler-fig style — so the old system keeps running until the new one has earned the traffic.
We have moved teams off Rails, WordPress, Firebase, and homegrown PHP onto Next.js + Postgres or Payload. The work is unglamorous: schema reconciliation, redirect maps, dual-writes, and a lot of verification. That is exactly why it goes smoothly.
Every potion, fully labeled.

How we scope and price
Migrations are priced off your data and your edge cases — the things that actually make one hard — not a headline number. We map them first, then quote in slices you can stop and restart.
- A data + traffic audit before anyone quotes a build
- Reversible slices — the old system keeps running until the new one earns the traffic
- A redirect map and parity checks in every engagement
- A cutover runbook and rollback plan, not a gamble

Common questions.
01Will the site go down during the migration?
No. We run old and new side by side and shift traffic gradually. If something looks wrong, we route back. Downtime, if any, is a planned few minutes — not a gamble.
02What about our search rankings?
We build a complete redirect map and preserve URL structure where it matters. SEO continuity is part of the deliverable, not an afterthought.
03How long does a migration take?
It scales with your data and edge cases, not the calendar. We move in reversible slices — old and new run side by side — so there is no big-bang cutover date to miss. A focused migration is weeks; a large legacy system with years of data is a phased engagement.
04What can you migrate off?
We have moved teams off Rails, WordPress, Firebase, and homegrown PHP onto Next.js with Postgres or Payload. If you are on something older or stranger, tell us — the playbook (map, dual-write, verify, cut over) is the same.
