LAB COLLECTION / 3 FIELD NOTES
Migration & launch
A successful move preserves the reader’s important tasks, not just the first screen of a page. These guides connect content inventories, feature boundaries, URL decisions, and measurable release checks before an existing site is replaced.
How to use this collection
Audit the existing website before choosing a conversion method. WordPress owners can then examine the content-export and plugin-specific steps. Test the actual pilot release against a performance budget while keeping the old site recoverable. Start with the Convert Website to Static Pages guide for the topic overview.
