What Is a Legacy CMS Migration to Next.js?

A legacy CMS migration means replacing platforms like Sitecore, TYPO3, Drupal, Joomla, Kentico, or Adobe Experience Manager with a Next.js frontend backed by a headless CMS. Your content, URLs, metadata, and integrations stay intact — what changes is the rendering layer, which moves to React-based static and server-side generation. The result is a site that's faster, more secure, and one your developers actually want to work on.

專案失敗的原因

Sitecore, AEM, and Kentico licensing alone can run six figures a year That's money going to a vendor, not to building anything.
Legacy monolithic renderers routinely push page load times past 4 seconds Core Web Vitals tank, and organic traffic follows — quarter after quarter.
When your CMS version hits end-of-life, security patches stop coming A single unpatched vulnerability can expose customer data and land you in a compliance nightmare.
Try hiring a TYPO3 or Kentico specialist right now It's a small talent pool, and it's shrinking. Maintenance drags, features take forever, and when someone quits, they take years of institutional knowledge with them.
Every content change becomes an engineering task — a deploy cycle, a cache purge, a ticket in a queue Marketing teams can't move fast when they're waiting on developers to publish a banner.
And while you're stuck in that monolith, competitors are already shipping personalization, A/B testing, and composable features Modern APIs and microservices are off the table when your architecture can't accommodate them.

合規

Full URL & Redirect Mapping

Every existing URL gets audited, mapped, and covered with 301 redirects. No orphaned pages, no broken backlinks, no traffic falling into a void.

Content Schema Migration

We pull content models out of your legacy CMS and restructure them into a clean headless schema. Relationships, taxonomies, and metadata all come with them.

SEO Equity Preservation

Meta tags, structured data, canonical URLs, sitemaps, internal linking — all rebuilt to match what you had, validated with crawl diffs before and after launch.

Security Hardening

Ditching a server-side CMS shrinks your attack surface considerably. Static pages served from an edge CDN eliminate entire categories of vulnerabilities. API routes get authentication and rate limiting from day one.

Performance Optimization

ISR, static generation, and edge caching get you to sub-second load times. Images run through next/image automatically — modern formats, right sizing, no manual work.

Access Control & Auth

Your existing auth flows and role-based access controls move to modern identity providers. SSO, SAML, OAuth2 — all supported.

我們構建的內容

Automated Content Extraction

Custom scripts handle the content extraction. Assets, metadata, database records — none of it requires manual copy-paste.

Headless CMS Integration

We connect Sanity, Contentful, Storyblok, or whatever headless CMS fits your team, with type-safe content models throughout.

Incremental Static Regeneration

Editors can publish instantly without triggering a full redeploy. ISR rebuilds pages on demand — static-site speed, without the static-site publishing headaches.

Component Library Buildout

Every legacy template gets rebuilt as a reusable React component, documented in Storybook, with design system tokens baked in.

Third-Party Integration Rewiring

Analytics, CRMs, marketing automation, e-commerce — everything reconnects through modern API layers. Nothing gets quietly dropped.

Parallel Running & Validation

We run both sites in parallel before cutover, comparing rendered output, SEO signals, and functionality side by side. You don't go live until parity is confirmed.

我們的流程

01

Platform Audit & URL Inventory

We crawl your existing site and document every URL, content type, integration, and custom module. You get a migration scope document with a real risk assessment before we write a line of code.
Week 1–2
02

Architecture & CMS Selection

Then we design the Next.js architecture, pick the headless CMS, define the content schemas, and map out the redirect strategy. Every technical decision is documented and signed off before anything gets built.
Week 2–3
03

Content Migration & Frontend Build

Content extraction runs via automated scripts while the engineering team builds the component library, page templates, and API integrations in parallel — no waiting on sequential handoffs.
Week 3–8
04

QA, SEO Validation & Parallel Run

Before cutover, we run visual regression tests, crawl comparisons, Lighthouse audits, and stakeholder UAT. Both sites run simultaneously so you can see the parity yourself.
Week 8–10
05

Launch & Decommission

Then DNS cuts over to the Vercel edge network, the legacy CMS gets decommissioned, and we spend 30 days on post-launch monitoring, redirect validation, and performance tuning.

常見問題

從 Sitecore 或 Drupal 遷移到 Next.js 時，我會失去 SEO 排名嗎？

如果遷移處理得當，就不會。我們會進行完整的 URL 清單、1:1 重定向對應、保留所有中繼標籤和結構化資料，並在啟動前後進行爬蟲比較。大多數客戶實際上在 8 週內看到排名改善——更快的 Core Web Vitals 分數對自然搜尋效能有實際、可衡量的影響。

Legacy CMS 遷移到 Next.js 需要多長時間？

典型的遷移針對 2,000 頁以下的網站需要 8–12 週。具有複雜整合、多語言內容或高度自訂模組的大型企業網站可能需要 12–20 週。我們針對每個專案進行單獨範圍界定，並在啟動時鎖定固定的時間表——沒有變動的目標。

遷移後，我的內容編輯工作流程會發生什麼？

編輯人員會獲得現代無頭 CMS——Sanity 或 Contentful 是常見的選擇——具有即時預覽、視覺化編輯和結構化內容模型。說實話，大多數團隊發現它比他們之前的要快。我們執行培訓課程並編制針對您特定內容團隊編寫的文件，而不是通用的操作指南。

如果 TYPO3 或 Kentico 使用自訂擴充功能，我可以遷移嗎？

可以。每個自訂擴充功能、外掛程式和模組都會在發現期間進行審計。功能會重新構建為 Next.js API 路由、無伺服器函數或第三方 SaaS 整合——無論哪個適合。所有內容都會被記錄，包括它替換的內容以及原因。

遷移 AEM 或 Sitecore 後，我能節省多少託管費用？

大多數企業客戶將託管和基礎設施成本降低 50–80%。Sitecore 和 AEM 需要專用伺服器、Java 運行時和昂貴的許可證。Next.js 在 Vercel 上執行在邊緣基礎設施上，具有按使用量計費——通常每月 $500–2,000，而 legacy 託管通常會產生五到六位數的帳單。

您是否處理多語言和多地區網站遷移？

可以。我們遷移 i18n 配置、hreflang 標籤、特定區域設定的內容和區域 URL 結構。Next.js 內建了國際化路由——我們配置它以匹配或改進您現有的多語言設定，包括區域設定偵測和後備處理。
