Why do you need to migrate your website to HubSpot?

 

Website migration can be a complex and challenging task and you should have a solid reason to migrate. For the uninitiated a site migration involves significant and substantial changes to your website in terms of change of site, location, platform, content or design.

So why would you contemplate website migration?

Some of the reasons could be:

  • You might have started as a small business with a custom website built by a freelance developer and over time your business has outgrown the rudimentary website, so you may think of moving your website to a sturdier CMS.
  • You could feel restricted with your current CMS either because it is slow or outdated, then the time may be ripe for an upgraded migration.
  • You are unable to connect your CRM to your existing CMS platform, you might as well think of a better performing CMS.
  • You might want to change your domain name, change the content, design and structure of your website, or add mobility as part of your rebranding efforts or the need to improve website traffic, lead generation and sales conversions.
  • You might be moving to a new CMS from a security viewpoint.

If you are considering a full site migration for any of the reasons cited above, you may want to consider your website migration to HubSpot CMS.

If you are already using the HubSpot CRM for marketing and sales, the next logical step is to migrate your website to HubSpot CMS for a seamless integration to the other HubSpot platforms.

A full site migration could mean that either you are simply moving your existing content and design to HubSpot or recreating and refurbishing your content and website in entirety on HubSpot.

How do you go about your HubSpot migration?

Having a person to lead the project, researching extensively on HubSpot and understanding of the usefulness of its various platforms and tools, meaningful conversations to identify the needs of the various departments to be met during and after the migration and setting realistic timelines based on the complexity of your website are some of the basics that need to be planned before going ahead with HubSpot migration. You would also need to spend enough time and thought to  update, redesign, organise and take stock of your templates, content and data before you set out to migrate your website to HubSpot.
