Astro migration framework

Move a website to Astro without losing what works.

An Astro migration is a system replacement, not a homepage redesign. The Go for Launch framework starts with evidence from the source site and ends with verified production behavior.

What the process produces

  • Complete route and redirect inventory
  • Content and publication-state mapping
  • Localized asset manifest
  • Responsive and interaction parity
  • SEO and discovery preservation
  • Staging and production acceptance record
01

Capture before rebuilding

Archive the source, crawl every public route, inventory documents and images, record metadata, and identify the hidden services behind forms, search, redirects, and interactive components.

02

Translate content into an Astro architecture

Model real content patterns with typed components and collections. Keep platform-specific extraction separate from rendering so the new site remains maintainable after the migration.

03

Prove parity across the whole site

Compare route families, navigation, responsive behavior, metadata, structured data, accessibility, and browser behavior. Record intentional improvements so they are not mistaken for omissions.
