One source for content + commerce
Avoid managing the editorial layer and commerce backend as separate systems.
BigCommerce migration
Bring content, commerce and operations into one composable core.
For teams already working headlessly or across multiple channels, YLP can simplify the content and operational layer around commerce.

Why YLP
A migration should remove complexity, not reproduce it.
We focus on the business data, URLs, integrations and workflows worth keeping — then rebuild the platform around a cleaner YLP model.
Custom admin workflows
Build your operating model around your business requirements.
Multi-site control
Centralise common data while keeping each brand's frontend independent.
AI-assisted operations
Apply AI workflows across structured catalogue and content data.
What can move
Bring the value you've already built.
The exact scope depends on exports, customisation and data quality. We validate migration feasibility before committing to a cut-over plan.

Migration approach
Move in a way that protects revenue and search visibility.
For larger or business-critical sites, we prefer phased migration, parallel validation and explicit URL / integration mapping over risky all-at-once changes.
Inventory the current platform
Data, content, catalogue, URLs, integrations, plugins/modules and custom logic.
Design the YLP target
Decide what maps directly, what needs transformation and what should be retired.
Import and compare
Test data quality, redirects, content, checkout and operational workflows.
Cut over in control
Use staged rollout or parallel operation where the risk profile requires it.

Common questions
Before you migrate.
Do we need to rebuild the frontend at the same time?
No. In many cases the safer approach is to migrate the backend first or run the new and old systems in parallel, then move frontend experiences progressively.
Can you preserve SEO URLs?
We identify high-value URLs and metadata during discovery and create redirect / canonical mappings as part of the migration plan. Exact preservation depends on the current routing model.
Do all historical orders need to move?
Not necessarily. Some businesses migrate complete history; others keep an archive and move only recent or operationally useful records. We recommend the simplest option that meets business and compliance needs.
Can we keep existing integrations?
Where the integration exposes usable APIs or webhooks, it can often be reconnected. Bespoke modules and plugins need to be assessed individually.
How do you keep migration cost under control?
We separate must-have migration scope from legacy complexity that no longer creates value, and can phase non-critical features after launch.
After migration
Your migration should not end with another maintenance problem.
Keep capable commerce operations while adding a YLP team for the everyday site, catalogue and content work around them.
Once your site is running on YLP, you can choose managed support for everyday updates, product work, small design improvements and technical fixes.
