The Lift & Shift: Supercharge Your Website Without Starting Over

What’s a Lift and Shift?

It’s a straightforward process where we keep your website’s style and content intact but move everything to a new, improved website-building platform – like Dirigible. This solves many technical issues without changing what your customers see. This process is also called rehosting, but that’s less fun to say:)

Benefits of a Lift and Shift:

• Keeps your current brand and styles
• Preserves all your content
• Maintains your SEO rankings
• Speeds up your website
• Makes updates and editing easier
• Improves security
• ADA compatibility

This approach is ideal for businesses who like their website’s look and content but are struggling with technical issues. It’s a fast and easy way to improve your site’s performance without starting from scratch.

Is a Lift and Shift Right for You?

If you’re nodding yes to these questions, it might be:

• Do you like your current website design?
• Is your content up-to-date and effective?
• Is your site running slowly?
• Do you find it hard to make updates?
• Are you concerned about security?

Ready to upgrade your website’s performance without changing its look? Let’s talk about how a Lift and Shift can help your business.

What Does a Lift & Shift entail?

There are some automated components, but a lift & shift is a process that requires manual labor. A staging site is used to transfer the content, leaving your current site up and running until all content has been shifted and approved. We maintain your current site’s structure and content while making it more performant and easier to edit and update in the future. Your new site is familiar in structure but is a stronger, faster marketing tool than your old one.

Moving to Dirigible unlocks an entirely new suite of tools and ways to tell your company’s story. More blocks, more variations, and a more intuitive editor let you get straight to the point with your site.

A Lift & Shift is fast, cost-effective, and most importantly, minimally disruptive to your current operating sites. Your business can continue as usual while we work behind the scenes to improve your website.

Does it need to end there?

A lift and shift can be the first step in a more comprehensive website overhaul. Dirigible websites have unified design tooling baked in, so once your website has been lifted and shifted to the platform, design updates can easily be rolled out to your entire website.

Whether you’re tweaking things like a font size, changing a color to increase contrast, or rolling out an entirely new branding identity, once your site is working with the unified tools on Dirigible, you can push style changes out seamlessly and simultaneously to your entire site with the click of a few buttons.
