Netlify to Vercel Migration in Durham
Moving Durham sites from Netlify to Vercel, where the build is straightforward and the risk sits entirely in the redirects. Rules written in Netlify's configuration do not transfer, and a site that has accumulated years of them can lose a meaningful share of its traffic on the day the domain switches over.
Why this comes up
The problem
The configuration file holds sixty redirect rules that have no equivalent on the new platform.
What you get
What we deliver
- Redirect and rewrite rules translated individually and verified after deployment
- Headers and security policies reproduced, since these are configured differently
- Environment variables recreated per environment rather than copied wholesale
- Serverless and edge functions adapted, as the runtimes are not identical
- DNS cutover planned with reduced record lifetimes ahead of the change
- Preview and branch deployments reconfigured to match how the team works

Working in Durham
North East
Durham's economy is dominated by its university and cathedral, so the commercial base is small and much of the local demand comes from spinouts and suppliers attached to the institutions rather than from independent industry.
Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones.

Netlify to Vercel Migration in Durham — common questions
- Why are redirects the main risk?
- Because they encode history. Rules accumulated over years cover old URLs, campaign links and previous site structures, and they exist only in a configuration file — so losing them means every one of those addresses starts returning nothing.
- How should the DNS change be handled?
- By shortening record lifetimes in advance. Reducing them a day or two before the switch means the change propagates in minutes rather than hours, which matters considerably if something needs reverting quickly.
- Do functions work the same way?
- Closely, but not identically. Handler signatures, available runtimes and execution limits differ between the platforms, so functions need testing rather than assuming a redeploy is sufficient — particularly anything relying on request or response details.
- Is this migration usually justified?
- Where the project is Next.js and uses features the framework's own platform supports first, there is a genuine argument. Otherwise both platforms host static sites and functions perfectly well, and the honest position is that the difference rarely justifies the disruption on its own.
- Do you work with businesses across County Durham?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout North East, including Durham and the surrounding County Durham area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Durham businesses do you usually work with?
- Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones. Beyond that we work across Higher Education, Tourism & Heritage, Public Sector, Retail and Research.
- Do you cover the areas around Durham?
- Yes — we work throughout North East, including Newcastle, Sunderland, York. Durham is an urban area of roughly 70,000+, and we take on work across the wider County Durham region rather than the city boundary alone.
