Organisations with an outdated public website
Improve credibility, usability, accessibility, performance, search, content operations, and maintainability.
Redesign, replatforming, migration, performance, accessibility, SEO, and content operations
Rokad modernises ageing websites through controlled redesign, replatforming, content migration, search preservation, performance improvement, and operational renewal.
Designed for / 01
Website modernisation must protect existing content, traffic, integrations, analytics, editorial workflows, and organisational knowledge while improving the experience and technical foundation. Rokad plans and executes the transition with explicit migration, redirect, validation, launch, and monitoring controls.
Improve credibility, usability, accessibility, performance, search, content operations, and maintainability.
Move away from unsupported, insecure, expensive, inflexible, or developer-dependent website technology.
Restructure the website around new positioning, capabilities, audiences, content, and commercial priorities.
Challenges / 02
URLs, metadata, content, forms, analytics, media, integrations, and publishing workflows can break during launch.
Pages are inconsistent, duplicated, hard-coded, poorly related, and difficult for editors or search systems to understand.
Legacy themes, plugins, dependencies, hosting, build systems, and manual processes create recurring risk and cost.
Capabilities / 03
Current-site inventory, analytics, crawl, content, platform, and risk assessment
Audience, information-architecture, content-model, and design transformation
CMS, framework, hosting, rendering, and integration replatforming
Content, media, metadata, form, user, and configuration migration
URL mapping, redirects, canonicals, structured data, and search preservation
Accessibility, performance, security, analytics, consent, and quality validation
Rehearsal, cutover, rollback, monitoring, training, and managed support
Solution components / 04
URLs, content, traffic, rankings, media, forms, scripts, integrations, templates, users, workflows, and technical dependencies.
Information architecture, design system, content model, CMS, frontend, rendering, hosting, analytics, and governance.
Mapping, transformation, quality, redirects, rehearsals, freeze, cutover, validation, rollback, and issue resolution.
Publishing, roles, training, deployment, monitoring, maintenance, security, ownership, and continuous improvement.
Use cases / 05
Replace the visual, content, and technical system while preserving essential traffic and operations.
Move structured content, media, users, workflows, metadata, and delivery to a more suitable platform.
Improve rendering, assets, code, content, interaction, semantics, keyboard use, and quality governance.
Restructure a small website into a scalable system for services, solutions, sectors, work, research, and localisation.
Architecture and integration / 06
Preserve or intentionally redirect valuable URLs and maintain canonical, alternate, sitemap, and internal-link consistency.
Map unstructured pages into reusable content types while preserving meaning, metadata, relationships, and editorial ownership.
Test migration, redirects, forms, analytics, permissions, performance, crawl, and rollback before the production switch.
Quality and control / 07
Semantic structure, keyboard use, contrast, responsive behaviour, and assistive-technology compatibility are treated as engineering requirements.
Page weight, rendering, caching, image strategy, Core Web Vitals, and runtime behaviour are measured and optimised.
Metadata, structured data, internal links, crawl controls, redirects, content models, and publishing workflows are implemented deliberately.
Delivery / 08
Clarify the business outcome, users, workflows, constraints, dependencies, risks, and measurable acceptance criteria.
Define the system boundaries, data, integrations, security, operating model, delivery sequence, and technical decisions.
Deliver in controlled increments with stakeholder review, automated testing, documentation, and production-quality engineering.
Launch safely, establish observability and support, then improve the system using operational evidence and user feedback.

FAQ
Scope, ownership, assumptions, delivery, security, and long-term operation are clarified before work begins.
Risk can be reduced through crawl and analytics inventory, content parity, URL mapping, redirects, metadata, canonicals, structured data, internal links, sitemaps, performance, and post-launch monitoring.
Not necessarily. We classify content to retain, improve, merge, redirect, archive, or remove based on value, accuracy, traffic, relevance, and future information architecture.
Yes, during development and migration. Production coexistence is also possible for phased sections, but routing, content ownership, analytics, and search signals need careful control.
Yes. Managed support can include content-system support, releases, security, monitoring, performance, analytics, experimentation, and continuous development.
Web development
Rokad can assess the current system, define the target platform, and execute the migration with controlled launch risk.
