Taxonomies, tags & categories
SEO metadata & canonical URLs
301 redirect maps
Forms & form submissions
Editorial & approval workflows

Our Zero-Downtime Migration Cutover

Freeze & final sync

Content enters a controlled freeze window while final content, media, and data changes are synchronized to the new platform.

Parallel run

The new Kentico environment runs alongside the existing platform for final content, SEO, and integration verification.

DNS & Traffic Switch

Traffic is gradually routed to the new platform using a staged DNS and caching strategy to minimize disruption.

Monitor & Optimize

Post-launch monitoring, performance tuning, and rollback readiness ensure a stable transition during the critical launch period.
