Craft CMS Migration in York
Migrating York organisations onto Craft CMS, where the real work is converting content that was never structured. Pages built in a visual editor arrive as a single field of markup, and turning that into the blocks and fields Craft is built around means separating content from presentation page by page.
Why this comes up
The problem
Every page on the old site is one large block of markup, and the new content model expects structured fields.
What you get
What we deliver
- Existing content analysed for the patterns that recur across pages
- Block types defined from those patterns rather than invented in advance
- Content parsed into structure where the markup is consistent enough to allow it
- Manual restructuring scoped honestly for the pages that resist automation
- Assets migrated with their references, since these break silently otherwise
- Addresses mapped and redirected before the new site goes live

Working in York
Yorkshire & the Humber
York's economy leans heavily on heritage tourism, and the practical constraint here is often that a visitor-facing system has to handle enormous seasonal swings on a small operator's budget.

Craft CMS Migration in York — common questions
- Can markup be converted automatically?
- Partially, and how much depends on consistency. Where pages follow recognisable patterns a parser can separate headings, images and text into blocks; where every page was built by hand differently, a portion requires a person deciding what each section is.
- How are block types decided?
- From what the existing content actually contains. Analysing the current site tells you which layouts recur and which appeared once, which is a far better basis than a list assembled in a workshop — the content reveals the model rather than the reverse.
- Why is this worth doing?
- Because structured content can be reused. Once a case study is fields rather than markup, it can be listed, filtered, featured on a homepage and syndicated — none of which is possible while it exists as one block of formatting.
- How should the manual portion be handled?
- Scoped and scheduled rather than discovered. Establishing early that a proportion of pages need restructuring by hand lets it be planned with the content team, whereas assuming full automation produces a migration that stalls at ninety per cent.
- Do you work with businesses across North Yorkshire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Yorkshire & the Humber, including York and the surrounding North Yorkshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of York businesses do you usually work with?
- Visitor-facing booking and ticketing systems that handle extreme seasonality on a small operator's budget. Beyond that we work across Tourism & Heritage, Rail Engineering, Bioscience, Retail and Higher Education.
- Do you cover the areas around York?
- Yes — we work throughout Yorkshire & the Humber, including Leeds, Newcastle, Sheffield. York is an urban area of roughly 210,000+, and we take on work across the wider North Yorkshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
