Migration

A WooCommerce store wouldn’t normally fail on a Tuesday. Most of the time, it calcifies. A plugin update can quietly break checkout an hour before a campaign. Variant pricing can get out of whack from concurrent edits to products. The marketing team doesn’t touch the theme because there is no developer to assist. Eventually, the […]

A Webflow site rarely crashes on a Tuesday. It starts to break down slowly instead. Each new step in the publishing process starts to get slower, new content types will not fit inside a CMS collection, the marketing team is forced to file support tickets for changes that once took five minutes, and the monthly […]

Website launches often encounter an array of issues well past their launch date. For example, bugs are identified three weeks after a new website goes live. These bugs include the Marketing team’s website category page accounting for 1/3 of their organic traffic being a soft 404, or low visibility page, and sales teams receiving lower […]

You will see the figure 70% bandied about in modernization discussions on X and Reddit with some regularity. It is the statistic for legacy projects that have gone awry, typically after a team has put together a system it did not really comprehend. While the number is more of a guide than an audited fact, […]

You do not have to look far for examples of what happens when a legacy application modernization plan, which made sense on a slide deck, goes wrong. Knight Capital’s $440 million write-off in under an hour was the result of a deployment that woke up some dormant code no one had any recollection of. TSB […]

It is rare for a WordPress migration to go awry on the day of launch. More often it is three weeks down the line when marketing spots a category page putting out a soft 404, or finance can no longer make sense of last week’s WooCommerce and Stripe figures. Perhaps the contact forms have been […]

A TechnologyChecker dataset puts the numbers in perspective: for every company that makes the switch from WordPress to Joomla, there are some five or six going the other way. Out of 42,000 moves from Joomla to WordPress, only about 8,500 have been recorded in reverse. It is a durable trend. What does not get reported […]

You will not find a one-click solution for moving a site from Webflow to WordPress. Any agency page with integrity, any migration document or practitioner thread will tell you the same. In truth, what is billed as a change of platform is more like a partial rebuild: you have to export what you can, make […]

A WordPress migration rarely fails on launch day. It fails three weeks later, when marketing notices that a category page responsible for a third of blog traffic is returning a soft 404, or when finance cannot reconcile last week’s Stripe transactions with the WooCommerce order log. By then the launch team has already declared victory […]
