Our Approach
Sitecore to Strapi Migration: Our Proven Process
01
Audit
Comprehensive Sitecore content and architecture audit by Strapi migration consultants — mapping every content type, component, media asset, API endpoint, and integration. Our Sitecore to Strapi migration company assesses your omnichannel requirements and defines 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 Sitecore to Strapi 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. Our Sitecore to Strapi migration experts ensure validation checkpoints.
05
Launch
Production deployment with zero downtime — Strapi backend on Strapi Cloud, AWS, or DigitalOcean; Next.js frontend on Vercel or Netlify. Hire Sitecore to Strapi migration developers for DNS cutover, 301 redirects, API load testing, and 30-day hypercare with dedicated engineering support.

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.
