Website migration service

Your temporary web content manager

New websites are wonderful, but the migration transfer across can be challenging. If you want a ‘shadow’ web content manager to temporarily work in parallel to your existing website, I can help. Example tasks include:

• Replacing in-content links where needed
• Making editorial improvements to fit the new design – such as shortening headings, and breaking up large blocks of text
• Adding, resizing and formatting images
• Ensuring content is error free and delivered to an agreed timeline
• Checking all components appear correctly and align with design layouts
• Reviewing migrated website content to ensure accuracy and completeness

Replant, re-seed, rejuvenate

How great would it be to move house and have the removal company mend and clean everything too? I can virtually do this by correcting typos, inconsistencies and duplications. I’ll cut down any long sentences to make them more enticing to customers AND Google and AI search bots. Plus I can ‘grow’ new content to plug the gaps.

Sowing images

I’m not a graphic designer. But I did create all the graphics on this website adapting off-the-peg botanical images in Photoshop and Canva.

As part of your web migration project, I can re-size images to fit your new design layout. I’ll also label them correctly to get more attention from the search bots.

Techie and creative speak

I’m used to working with web developers and designers. My basic level of coding also helps when reporting and solving problems. This can be through a risk log, bug reporting system, phone calls or remote meetings.

Let me liaise with your internal team and external suppliers to get the job done.

Taking it for a test drive

Every web content management system (CMS) has its quirks. As your temporary web content manager I can identify these early on.

I can report bugs, suggest improvements, write user manuals and train your staff so they’re prepared for the handover.

Here are some CMS set-ups I’ve worked with:

• Wordpress
• Joomla
• Squiz Matrix
• Magento
• Wix
• Bespoke to that company or organisation

Being your audience

As a fresh pair of eyes, I point out issues that could trip up your website, including:

• Printing issues
• Layout inconsistencies
• Colour schemes that breach the Equality Act

A track record you can trust

I’ve overseen countless web migrations since starting my web career in 1997. These include:

• A veteran’s charity – 15 pages
• Durham Cathedral – 150+ pages
• The Lake District National Park and The Yorkshire Dales National Park – 500+ pages, including legally-compliant planning pages
