Content: Migration of existing content
- Developer will fully empower the Client to migrate their current content to the new website through training sessions, constant support, extensive documentation, and advanced content migration and automation tools such as server-to-server file and image transfer.
- Developer recommends that the bulk of the content migration will be executed by the Client, between Phase 2 and Phase 4, providing training and an opportunity for applied learning of the characteristics, features and benefits of the content management system.
- The Developer encourages the practice of migrating content first, then editing and revising the content second. This is recommended for three reasons: (1) the migration goes much faster, (2) the task can be more easily delegated to those who wish to learn how to use the website, and (3) the content management system stores all the revisions made to the content, so each change is documented for future reference. This gives the Client a historical look at all content moved to the new site.
- The Developer is willing to migrate all content from the Client’s current site to the new site. However, because the Developer’s goal is 100% empowerment of the Client to manage all its website content going forward, including text, images, attachments, multimedia, links, navigation, site users and user roles, the Developer strongly recommends and encourages the Client to migrate their content.
