Joomla migration
A Fresh Foundation for Your Joomla Website.
Review components, modules, menus and multilingual content. Map extensions to supported replacements and test forms, account features and old URL behavior.
Where Joomla sites get stuck
Extension compatibility
Extensions and templates may lag behind core Joomla releases, which can stall upgrades.
Template constraints
Older templates can make responsive or accessible changes difficult without a rebuild.
Shrinking specialist pool
Finding developers comfortable with older Joomla codebases can be harder than finding modern front-end engineers.
Who this is for
Joomla Migration: what we migrate.
For Joomla 3 and 4 sites with years of articles, nested menus and extensions that now slow every upgrade.
Want to refresh an older Joomla design at the same time as the rebuild? Explore website redesign.
Scope 01
Article and category export
Articles, categories, tags, custom fields and intro or full text splits are exported and rebuilt as structured content.
Scope 02
Menu tree rebuild
Menu items, aliases and hierarchy define the new navigation and the URL map.
Scope 03
Extension review
Components such as K2, VirtueMart, RSForm or Community Builder are identified and given a replacement plan.
Scope 04
Legacy URL cleanup
URLs containing index.php, Itemid or query parameters are redirected to clean paths.
Benefits of modernizing

Migration process
How a Joomla migration runs.
- 1
Inventory
We crawl and catalogue your Joomla pages, templates, media, forms and integrations so nothing is left to memory.
- 2
Map
Every existing URL is paired with its new destination, metadata and redirect rule before a single component is built.
- 3
Rebuild
Your design and content are recreated as typed React components on a modern framework, with an editing workflow that suits your team.
- 4
Verify
Forms, redirects, responsive layouts, metadata and analytics are checked against the original inventory.
- 5
Launch
We coordinate DNS, hosting and post-launch monitoring with you, on a schedule agreed after project review.
Migration considerations
What we plan for before building.
Joomla 3 support status
Sites still on Joomla 3 have reached end of official support. A rebuild can sidestep the 3 to 4 or 5 upgrade entirely.
Module positions
Sidebar and footer modules are mapped into explicit layout regions so content does not disappear.
Registered user areas
Access levels and member content are assessed and moved to a modern authentication provider if still needed.
Deliverables
- Article and category migration
- Navigation rebuilt from menu tree
- Extension replacement plan
- Redirect map including legacy parameters
- Responsive component templates
- Editing workflow handover
Not promised
- Migrating abandoned extensions as-is
- Exporting reusable user passwords
Interactive assessment

A read-only, preliminary look at public signals. Takes a few seconds.
A migration plan built around your website
Review components, modules, menus and multilingual content. Map extensions to supported replacements and test forms, account features and old URL behavior.
Analyze, plan, rebuild, verify, launch
We review publicly visible signals first, then confirm content, design and functionality requirements with you. We inventory URLs, map integrations and agree acceptance criteria before rebuilding. Verification covers responsive layouts, important journeys, forms, redirects and SEO essentials. Launch is coordinated with the people responsible for hosting and domain access.
What we aim to preserve
Your branding, useful content, media, important URL paths and business-critical functionality are reviewed individually. Not every plugin or feature has a direct equivalent. We explain what can be recreated, what should change and which third-party services need separate configuration.
Clear expectations
Discovery determines scope, pricing and timing. We do not promise guaranteed rankings, automatic performance gains or a completion date before review. Ongoing maintenance and security responsibilities remain part of the plan.
