Joomla Migration in Cardiff
Joomla migrations for Cardiff organisations, most of which are moving off rather than on. The usual driver is continuity — an extension nobody maintains, a version several releases behind, or the difficulty of finding someone to work on it — and the migration is a rebuild with content, structure and addresses carried across.
Why this comes up
The problem
The site depends on two abandoned extensions, nobody available knows Joomla well, and the version is out of support.
What you get
What we deliver
- Content and structure exported, including categories and custom fields
- Extension functionality identified and matched to equivalents on the destination
- User accounts migrated where the site has members, with a password reset path
- Access levels reproduced, since these frequently encode real business rules
- Every address captured and redirected, as Joomla URLs are structurally distinctive
- The old site kept available read-only until the new one is verified

Working in Cardiff
Wales
Cardiff has a significant broadcast and media sector alongside a large public-sector presence, and Welsh-language provision is a genuine requirement on public-facing work here rather than a nice-to-have.
Public sector and broadcast work is common, and bilingual provision is usually a requirement rather than an option.

Joomla Migration in Cardiff — common questions
- What is hardest to migrate?
- Extension functionality. Content moves with tooling and the things extensions provided — directories, event calendars, membership handling — have no automatic equivalent, so each needs matching to something on the destination or rebuilding.
- What about member accounts?
- Accounts migrate and passwords generally do not, since hashing differs between platforms. The practical approach is migrating accounts and requiring a reset, communicated in advance — surprising members with a broken login on launch day is avoidable.
- Do access levels matter?
- More than people expect. View levels frequently encode who sees what — members, committee, public — and reproducing that on the new platform is a real requirement rather than a detail, particularly for membership organisations.
- How careful do we need to be with URLs?
- Very. Joomla's addresses are structurally distinctive and a new platform will not reproduce them, so every existing page needs a redirect — and for an organisation with years of accumulated links, that mapping is where the search value is preserved or lost.
- Do you work with businesses across Cardiff?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Wales, including Cardiff and the surrounding Cardiff area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Cardiff businesses do you usually work with?
- Public sector and broadcast work is common, and bilingual provision is usually a requirement rather than an option. Beyond that we work across Media & Broadcasting, Financial Services, Public Sector, Higher Education and Sport.
- Do you cover the areas around Cardiff?
- Yes — we work throughout Wales, including Bristol, Swansea. Cardiff is an urban area of roughly 490,000+, and we take on work across the wider Cardiff region rather than the city boundary alone.
