Case Study: Smith & Williamson migrates 4,500 pages to Umbraco with Cogworks

Smith & Williamson migrates 4,500 pages in 12 weeks with Cogworks

Smith & Williamson, a major UK professional services firm, faced challenges with its costly and unresponsive legacy CMS, which featured poor information architecture and duplicate content hindering SEO. They engaged Cogworks to migrate 4,500 pages across two websites to the Umbraco CMS within a strict 12-week timeframe without disrupting operations.

Cogworks implemented the migration using an Agile methodology, placing content editors at the center of the process from the beginning to ensure the new system was built for their needs. The project was delivered on time and on budget, resulting in two well-built websites and a compelling new way of working for the client. The success of this initial project established a foundation of trust, leading to a nearly decade-long partnership where Cogworks continued to build digital platforms for the firm through subsequent mergers and rebrands.
