Why MetaDesign

Headless CMS migration specialists.

Content model transformation, API-first architecture — Sitecore to Strapi done right.

01

Content Model Transformation

We deconstruct Sitecore's template hierarchy, rendering variants, and component-based architecture into Strapi's flexible content types, components, and dynamic zones — preserving content relationships and editorial intent during the Sitecore to Strapi migration.

02

API Architecture Design

Our sitecore migration services include designing a robust REST and GraphQL API layer in Strapi — with custom controllers, middleware, lifecycle hooks, and role-based API permissions that match or exceed Sitecore's content delivery capabilities.

03

Omnichannel Delivery

Unlike Sitecore's presentation-coupled approach, Strapi's API-first architecture delivers content to unlimited channels simultaneously — web, mobile apps, IoT devices, digital kiosks, and smart displays — all from a single content source of truth.

Omnichannel Retail

Retailers migrating from Sitecore to Strapi for true omnichannel content delivery — serving product content, promotions, and editorial to web storefronts, mobile apps, in-store kiosks, and digital signage from a single headless CMS.

SaaS Documentation

SaaS companies replacing Sitecore with Strapi for developer documentation portals, knowledge bases, and API reference sites — leveraging Strapi's Markdown support, version control, and programmatic content access.

Mobile-First Media

Digital media companies migrating from Sitecore to Strapi for mobile-first content delivery — React Native app integration, push notification content, and real-time content updates via Strapi's webhook system.

IoT Content Delivery

Enterprises with IoT ecosystems replacing Sitecore with Strapi for lightweight, JSON-based content delivery to smart devices, wearables, voice assistants, and connected appliances — a modern Sitecore alternative for the connected enterprise.

Our approach

Five stages, paired end-to-end.

Predictable delivery. No black-box sprints.

01

Audit

Comprehensive Sitecore content and architecture audit — mapping every content type, component, media asset, API endpoint, and integration. We assess your omnichannel requirements and define the ideal Strapi content model architecture.

02

Model

Design Strapi content types, components, and dynamic zones that replicate and improve upon your Sitecore content architecture. We define REST/GraphQL API structures, role-based permissions, and webhook integrations for downstream systems.

03

Build

Construct the Strapi backend and Next.js frontend — custom content types, API controllers, middleware, authentication providers, media library configuration, and a production-grade React frontend with SSR and incremental static regeneration.

04

Migrate

Execute automated content migration using custom Node.js scripts and Strapi's Content API — transferring content entries, media assets, relationships, localised content, and user roles in staged batches with validation checkpoints.

05

Launch

Production deployment with zero downtime — Strapi backend on Strapi Cloud, AWS, or DigitalOcean; Next.js frontend on Vercel or Netlify. DNS cutover, 301 redirects, API load testing, and 30-day hypercare with dedicated engineering support.

Customer value

Six places it pays back in the first sprint.

Real outcomes our clients report within the first engagement cycle.

Faster time-to-market

Production-ready teams that ship from week one — no ramp-up lag.

Reduced technical risk

Architecture reviews, code audits, and security scans baked into every sprint.

Measurable velocity

Cycle time, PR throughput, and defect density tracked from day one.

Cost predictability

Fixed-price or capped T&M — no surprise invoices, ever.

Continuous improvement

Retros, post-mortems, and process refinement every sprint.

Knowledge transfer

Your team grows. Documentation, pair programming, and workshops included.

Strapi is the leading open-source headless CMS built on Node.js. It provides a customisable admin panel, auto-generated REST and GraphQL APIs, and a flexible content modelling system. As a Sitecore alternative, Strapi eliminates licensing costs, offers modern JavaScript-based development, and delivers true API-first architecture for omnichannel content delivery.

A typical Sitecore to Strapi migration takes 3 to 6 months depending on content complexity, API requirements, and frontend scope. Simple content sites migrate in 8 to 12 weeks, while complex omnichannel platforms with multiple frontend consumers and extensive integrations may require 6 to 8 months.

Yes. Strapi 5 supports role-based access control, content versioning, draft/publish workflows, internationalisation, and audit logging. Deployed on managed infrastructure like Strapi Cloud or AWS with PostgreSQL, Strapi handles millions of API requests and thousands of content entries at enterprise scale.

Yes. Our sitecore migration services include comprehensive URL mapping, 301 redirect configuration at the CDN or reverse proxy level, metadata migration, and XML sitemap generation via the Next.js frontend. We monitor organic traffic throughout the migration and verify zero ranking loss post-launch.

Yes — Strapi is a headless CMS, meaning it manages content via APIs but does not render web pages directly. We build custom frontends using Next.js or React that consume Strapi's REST or GraphQL APIs. This separation provides superior performance, flexibility, and the ability to serve content to multiple channels simultaneously.

Strapi provides the content infrastructure for personalisation — user roles, content variants, and API-driven delivery. For dynamic personalisation logic, we integrate Strapi with dedicated personalisation engines like Optimizely, Segment, or custom Next.js middleware that serves targeted content based on user behaviour and segments.

Strapi's content types, components, and dynamic zones provide equivalent flexibility to Sitecore's templates and rendering variants. Components are reusable across content types (like Sitecore's rendering components), and dynamic zones allow editors to compose pages from multiple component types — replicating Sitecore's page composition experience.

Strapi can be deployed on Strapi Cloud (fully managed), AWS (EC2, ECS, or Lambda), DigitalOcean, Google Cloud, or any Docker-compatible infrastructure. For the Next.js frontend, we recommend Vercel or Netlify for edge rendering and automatic deployments. This flexibility is a major advantage over Sitecore's constrained hosting requirements.

Go headless with Strapi. Leave Sitecore behind.
