Migration to concrete5 is supported

While Concrete5 is not as popular as those from the “Big 3”, it does look promising. It is a mature and stable CMS that has all of the tools required to create any kind of websites from online magazine and newspapers, eCommerce sites, government websites, community-based portals, as well as personal and family websites.

However, the platform indeed has some obvious drawbacks which influence its popularity: additional functionality is commercialized, the documentation is incomplete, sources of support and development expertise are very limited, versioning is buggy, and workflow is still in development.

CMS2CMS automated migration service can more than help to make your Concrete5 migration process seamless and error-free. The converter has been specifically created to minimize human involvement in the process of content migration across different CMS solutions.

What People Say

Claudio Meira

CMS2CMS did an amazing job migrating a very very old CMS to Wordpress. And they also migrate our large forum. They are quick with customer response which is great and have helped with any issues that I saw.

Thomas Jay

Worth every penny. Saved us many hours of hand-moving data. It got all the data from the old Drupal site and placed it in the new WordPress site. There was a slight hitch with the test, but their support worked it out very quickly.

Pierre le Roux

The Hippo roller website used Joomla for five years and to implement the major decision to move to Wordpress meant moving hundreds of articles and images from K2. This seemed like a daunting task until we tested cms2cms. BRILLIANT!

Vickii Howell

I've done the test migration from Joomla to Wordpress and I could not be happier with the results! It even ported over videos connected with the articles, just fabulous.
