We'll move your site
to InkCMS.

You've got a working site somewhere, and you'd like to be on InkCMS instead — for the editing experience, for the AI authoring, for the absence of plugin sprawl, for whatever reason brought you here. But you don't have the time (or want the time) to learn the platform from scratch and rebuild the site yourself.

This service is the bridge. We'll do the actual migration work — content extraction, template build, styling pass, hosting setup — and hand you back a clean InkCMS install that's ready to edit. Then we step out. You take it from there with your team, with a partner, or by yourself.

This is the part most agencies get wrong. We don't run your site after the migration. The hosting account is in your name and on your credit card. The domain registration is in your name. The SSL certificate is in your name. The InkCMS license is in your name.

• Hosting: we configure it; you own the account.
• Domain: we never touch your registrar.
• DNS: changes happen through your DNS provider, with you watching.
• InkCMS license: bought through /signup on your account, before we start.
• Email + transactional: if your old site sent emails through a service like Postmark or SendGrid, you keep that account — we just configure InkCMS to talk to it.

If you fire us mid-engagement, you walk away with everything we've built up to that point. If you fire us after launch, you walk away with a working site running on your own hosting.

1. Discovery call — 30 minutes. We look at your current site, ask about content volume, integrations, and deadlines. You get a written scope + quote shortly after.
2. You buy InkCMS — on your own account, your own plan, your own card. We can't migrate to a license that's not yours.
3. Migration sprint — actual build-out, with weekly check-ins, a shared preview URL, and the ability to poke at the in-progress site any time.
4. UAT — you and your team review everything on the staging URL. We fix what needs fixing. Final styling tweaks land.
5. Launch — DNS cutover during a quiet window (usually a Tuesday morning). Old site stays up as a fallback for a short window after launch.
6. Handoff — 1-hour walkthrough with your team. Written runbook for common edits. You take over.

A note on timeline + scope.

Every migration is different. A small brochure site with no integrations runs on the short end of the range. A content-heavy site with custom forms, third-party integrations, and a styling refresh runs on the long end. Sites with unusual constraints — bespoke CMSs, hand-built integrations, large media libraries, multi-language — take longer still.

We won't commit to a calendar window until we've reviewed your existing site. The discovery call gives us enough to put a real scope + timeline in writing — and we hit the dates we commit to.

What you get in the quote: a clear scope statement, a fixed price for that scope, a target timeline, and the assumptions we made to arrive at both. If scope shifts mid-engagement, we send a written revision before doing the work — no surprise change orders, no hourly creep.

What's separate from our quote: your InkCMS license (separate, on your account) and your hosting (separate, on your account). We don't bundle them or mark them up; you pay InkCMS directly and you pay your hosting provider directly.
