Sitecore to Contentful Migration

Sitecore's licensing costs, upgrade cycles, and developer overhead are hard to justify. We migrate enterprise teams to Contentful, cleanly and without disruption.

Signs your team is ready to move off Sitecore

Sitecore licences typically run into six figures annually — before infrastructure, upgrades, and specialist developer costs. As modern alternatives deliver comparable capability at lower cost, the value equation shifts.

If your marketing team can't make content changes without filing a dev ticket, the platform is working against your business — not for it.

Sitecore's upgrade cycles are significant engineering efforts with little visible output. Dev time spent on maintenance is dev time not spent on building.

Compared to other modern composable tools, the value proposition doesn't stack up for the amount you are paying

Most teams moving from Sitecore to Contentful see a meaningful reduction in total cost of ownership. We can help you model this during discovery.

Yes — Sitecore's HTL templates are tightly coupled to the CMS and don't carry over to a headless environment. We rebuild the frontend in Next.js or Astro as part of the same engagement.

Not if the migration is managed properly. We map every URL, implement redirects, and validate metadata before going live.

Yes. We plan migrations to minimise disruption — including staging environments and phased rollouts where needed.
