The task

## Every old link gets a decision.

Changing a platform, provider or site structure touches more than the design. We map the content, links and operating accounts before making the move.

Illustrative migration map

**/our-services**: 301 → /services

**/old-catalog.pdf**: 301 → approved replacement catalog

**Retired promotion**: 404 or 410 if no relevant replacement

**Release gate**: Redirect targets, forms and rollback checked

## Designed around the next step.

01

### Know what is moving

Inventory important pages, downloads, forms, analytics settings and the accounts that control them.

02

### Give old links a destination

Map each valuable URL to its closest replacement and test the redirect. Keep deleted content decisions explicit.

03

### Check the receiving end

Verify forms, files, domain settings and access on the replacement before retiring the old setup.

## What’s included.

-   An agreed source/destination and access inventory
-   Content and URL mapping with a rollback plan
-   Migration of the agreed pages and assets
-   Release verification and account/source handover

## Before we begin.

### Start with access

Tell us the current and intended platforms, approximate page count and who controls the domain and hosting.

### Separate scope

Mailbox moves, stores, subscriptions, customer accounts and proprietary platform exports need additional planning.
