Challenges with Sitecore and our solution

Complexity

Sitecore is complex to wrap your head around.You may need a certain amount of training to be able to understand and efficiently utilize most of Sitecore’s features. On the other hand, WordPress is well-known for having a very user-friendly interface – for both new and experienced website owners. Simplicity is often the best option when you want to accommodate both highly-trained developers and complete novices at a company.

Price

Sitecore licenses are subscription-based. They generally vary depending on factors like the number of your website visits per month, concurrent users, add-on modules, and on-production installations. WordPress, however, is quite uncomplicated and also very affordable – for first-time website owners and larger companies alike.






Deployment

When it comes to Sitecore, you will most likely not be able to set up your website quickly. This is because the platform has unique requirements that only allows for customer development. Understandably, these custom solutions demand more time to get everything in line before your website will be able to go live. With WordPress, Cloud-based hosting and ready-to-use themes allow you to quickly navigate the site-building process. Thus, you can establish your website in no time.


Difficult experience with website maintenance in Sitecore which is the easiest in WordPress


Most of the users have been found frustrated with the complexity, erroneous admin panel and backend manageability of Sitecore and so it makes sense to migrate to a simpler platform which is the most used CMS and has a very easy backend.





Experienced Sitecore certified developer requirement






Developers who fail to treat the Sitecore platform and their website as an application and apply ALM best practices can easily create an undocumented mess of code and architecture. If programmatic rules are used rigidly without overrides, a content manager can feel hamstrung especially if tiny tweaks involve development and deployment in the website

High cost involved in Sitecore







The cost depends greatly on the company’s business specifics and requirements. However, irrespective of the case, a Sitecore-based CMS comes at a high price in terms of development and maintenance.

Ebizon strives to make migration simple and easy. Despite the complications and challenges faced while migrating from one CMS to WordPress, we make sure that we deliver results as per the expectations of the client. Few challenges are listed below and our solution on how we overcome them:-

Mobile Responsiveness- While migrating, we make sure that the new website is mobile responsive and is supported by mobile devices. While a website losing out on mobile responsiveness is a pretty common occurrence during the migration process.

Retention of SEO juice and Benchmarking - While it is a very common problem of loss of important SEO components, while migrating. Ebizon has expertise in migrating content without losing SEO juice. It is important to maintain the SEO at all stages otherwise it will affect organic rankings and there could be a traffic/revenue risk. This is addressed by SEO retention process pre, during and post migration.

Loss of Data and Archived File - We have a dedicated team performing deep search on the health of the website. We ensure no loss of data while migration. We keep stakeholders in loop during the entire migration process.

Create a 301 redirect strategy - We map old URLs to new URLs, organized by site architecture. If a page is being eliminated, find the most relevant page for a 301 redirect. We ensure that no 401 redirects happening after migration.

Content Sanity and the formatting - - It is possible that content pages in the current sitecore platform have different character encoding liek UTF-8, ASCII, etc or javascripts embedded into the pages which may increase the effort to consider their appropriate display in Wordpress. The risk could be mitigated by manual content sanity testing after each content type is migrated.

Inline Image handling - Images placed inline with Text/Articles will most likely affect the look when migrating to a new structure. Images may also have alt, captions which need to be ensured are mapped properly for SEO reasons.

Backend Data Structure updates -The backend structure usually is updated based on inputs from editorial even until later stages of the project development. All the field related changes need to be timely communicated between the development and migration team in order to avoid data discrepancies.
