Pipeline Execution

Our 10-day migration process

No data loss, no SEO ranking drop, and zero downtime. We run a highly optimized, direct engineering migration pipeline to get your team launched in days, not months.

system_migration.sh
01

Day 1–3: Audit & Direct Schema Mapping

We map out every page, database collection, media file, and URL redirect. Your search rankings remain completely unaffected as we prepare the database structure.

02

Day 4–7: Rapid Component & Rebuild

We build your design system inside clean, modular React components on Next.js. You can review and test progress via a private staging preview link.

03

Day 8–10: Seeding & DNS Handover

We run direct migration scripts to seed your content into Neon PostgreSQL, point DNS to Vercel, and hold a 30-minute training session for your team.

Performance Telemetry

What happens to your site's speed

These aren't benchmark numbers. This is what a real Webflow site scored before our direct migration — and what it scored after. Google Lighthouse rates sites 0–100 across four categories. Green (90+) means your site ranks better, loads faster, and converts more visitors.

Conversion Impact

A 1-second delay reduces conversions by up to 20%. We fix that speed bottleneck permanently.

SEO & Visibility

Google ranks faster websites higher. Next.js and static edge delivery ensure your SEO baseline is flawless.
