Transfer scope

Standard website migration scope of work

The standard transfer scope is for a conventional business website with normal access to the source system. Complicated legacy environments are assessed before a fixed migration plan is promised.

Standard scope

A normal migration may include the following where access is available.

  • Site files
  • CMS/database export
  • DNS records
  • SSL setup
  • Domain connection
  • Basic email dependency review
  • URL preservation
  • Launch checks

Separate scope triggers

Additional work is quoted when the transfer is materially more complex.

  • Large ecommerce catalogue
  • Unsupported legacy server
  • Missing source credentials
  • Custom proprietary CMS
  • Large mailbox migration
  • Complex application integrations
  • Major redesign requested during transfer
