Why Content Migration Projects Fail

Let’s talk about the project everyone dreads: website content migration. You know the scene – the client has 500+ pages of content spread across an ancient CMS, weird formatting everywhere, and they want it all moved to their shiny new platform by… yesterday. Oh, and they need a content audit too.

Common migration nightmares:

• Manual copy-paste hell
• Lost formatting
• Broken content hierarchy
• Missing meta data
• Image chaos
• Internal link disasters
