Scope inventory
Pages, content types, languages, editors, custom code and plugins - the material that actually drives effort, established before anything is estimated.

The free migration assessment reviews your project's scope, content structure, URL map, integrations and hosting prerequisites, then states effort as explicit bands. One senior engineer, no sales pressure, no obligation.

When the assessment makes sense
For organisations planning or owning a platform change who want the true extent of the work first - not a hunt for the lowest hourly rate.
- your site runs on TYPO3 or another legacy system and a move to WordPress is on the table
- your WooCommerce store is due for a replatform or a headless front end, but checkout, tax and SEO must carry over safely
- you are taking over maintenance of a site from a previous supplier and do not yet know its scope, access or dependencies
- a previous quote felt vague: no URL map, no integration list, no recognisable timeline
- you need to budget internally and want effort in defensible bands rather than a single guessed figure
What the assessment covers
Five review areas, each with a written outcome. No black box: you can see what the estimate rests on.
Content model & URL map
How the existing structure maps onto WordPress content types, plus the approach for the 301 redirect map so existing rankings survive the switch.
Integration list
Payments, ERP/CRM, shipping, newsletter, analytics: which interfaces migrate, which get replaced, and where each one is tested.
Hosting, GDPR & DPA checklist
EU hosting, an Article 28 data-processing agreement, backup locations and access handover - verified before any content is moved.
Timeline & effort bands
An estimate given as a band with stated assumptions instead of false precision: site size, language count and integration density set the range.
Written recommendation
Migrate, optimise first, or stay where you are - with reasoning, even when the honest answer is against the migration.
How the assessment runs
- 01
Short brief
Describe the current system, the target, languages and your time frame - an email is enough, no specification required.
- 02
Review
A senior review of the material you can share and the visible structure: content types, URL patterns, identifiable integrations and hosting context.
- 03
Questions, not guesses
Clear questions where assumptions are missing. Anything left open is recorded as an assumption in the deliverable - not buried in a footnote.
- 04
Written outcome
Scope, URL-map approach, integration list, checklist and effort bands as a document you can circulate internally.
Typical migration scenarios
Three starting points we see most often. Each carries its own risks - and its own review plan.
TYPO3 to WordPress
Content structure, multilingual setup and RealURL patterns are mapped onto WordPress content types and permalinks. Review plan: URL map with 301s, editorial workflows, GDPR processing records.
- URL mapping including RealURL patterns
- Multilingual content and editorial workflows
- Redirect map in place before cutover
WooCommerce replatform & headless
From a classic store to a modernised or decoupled front end, with checkout, payments and tax staying server-authoritative in WooCommerce. Review plan: data contract, checkout paths, crawl diff.
- Checkout stays server-authoritative
- Data contract frozen before front-end work
- Crawl diff and side-by-side measurement
Maintenance takeover
Taking over an existing WordPress or WooCommerce site from a previous supplier. Review plan: access and licence inventory, backup restore test, staging build-out before cutover.
- Access and licence inventory
- Restore test on existing backups
- Staging first, production untouched
Effort in bands, not guesswork
The assessment itself is free. What follows is a written scope; pricing follows our published price list - EUR invoicing, defined response times, no hidden line items. For consumer distance contracts, EU law provides a 14-day right of withdrawal; B2B engagements are governed by the contract text.

Frequently asked questions
What does the migration assessment cost?
Nothing. Scope, content model, URL map, integrations and hosting requirements are established free of charge, because a well-informed decision serves both sides. Pricing for the implementation follows our published price list.
What happens to my data during the assessment?
We work with the material you choose to share: URLs, structure, screenshots, exports. Production access is only agreed for the implementation itself - and then through staging, with an Article 28 data-processing agreement in place as soon as personal data is processed.
How quickly will I get the result?
The written reply with a first assessment arrives within one business day. The full outcome - inventory, URL-map approach, integration list, checklist and effort bands - usually follows within a few further days, depending on the size of the site.
Is my website touched during the assessment?
No. The assessment is read-only and preparatory. Changes to production only happen as part of a later engagement - and even then on staging first, with a rollback path for every batch.
Do you communicate in German?
Yes. Written communication with clients in Germany and Austria is in German, and we invoice in EUR. The team works from Gdynia, Poland - in the CET time zone - and has built on WordPress since 2006.
