Within Migrations Overview, you can find out about all of our Import Tools along with answers to key questions you may have before beginning a migration from Adobe BC to Siteglide.

When you begin migrating, there can be many factors to consider and various different routes to take. Below, we'll outline three common migration methods you can use to streamline a migration and deliver the best result for both you and your client.

  • Like for Like - Migrate a site as-is with minimal changes and build time
  • Studio - An opportunity to future-proof design, code and functionality
  • Bespoke - Fully re-build a site with all new design, code and functionality

Like-For-Like

The like-for-like method approaches the migration by importing as much of the existing site as possible without rebuilding or redesigning.

Like-for-like - low budget

For the low budget method we simply import the existing site, check it over and go-live. You still receive the benefits of page speed and SEO improvements, however you won't have the benefits that come from integrating with other Siteglide features. Checkout the "Like-for-like - feature integration" method below for more information.

Method Steps:

  1. Create fresh Site
  2. Run Static Site Import
  3. Check your pages ensuring all assets are being applied as expected
  4. Simple go live

Like-for-like - feature integration

For the feature integration method, we import the existing site while integrating to many of Siteglide's features, maximising benefits to your clients, and delivering the best possible user experience for your Client's users.
