For clients who have commissioned a site, we offer Rapid Start - a service for the automated migration of all their old site content.

Manual migrations require a lot of time, even with a large staff, during which your old site is still being updated with new content that will require a second round of migration.

Rapid Start uses automated scripts to map content to their equivalent values on Public Platform.

Rapid Start can migrate:

• Webpages and their hierarchical layout
• News and blog posts
• Taxonomy terms
• Internal links
• Files and media
• User accounts and user roles

It requires a custom setup for each site, but once in place it is a repeatable process that can be re-run with minimal time costs.

North Herts Council Rapid Start case study

North Herts had a huge inventory of content that needed to be recreated on their new site. Using Rapid Start, in three weeks we were able to bring across thousands of pages of content, links, and files in. This saved the council's in-house development team weeks of work and let them switch to their new Public Platform site straight away.
