The process of rebuilding your website in a new CMS or converting from templates to a theme in HubSpot. Follow our structured migration approach to launch your new website with confidence.
What are the three stages of website migration?
Website Migration Basics
The POWER theme migration process follows three clear stages:
Stage 1: Stage Pages Create a staged draft for each page on your existing website using a template from the theme.
Stage 2: Proof and Approve Publish your drafts to Content Staging for internal review and approval.
Stage 3: Publish and GO LIVE Publish your staged pages, update system pages, swap blog templates, and launch your website.
⚠️ Important: This staged approach allows you to build and review your entire site before making any live changes.
