Effortlessly Migrate Your Website to HubSpot

Frequently Asked Website Migration Questions

What happens once I decide to work with Kayak on my website migration project?

1. A detailed technical audit will be performed. To facilitate the audit, you'll grant administrative access to your current website, Google Search Console, and Google Analytics. The audit will compare data from Google and your website to reduce the chance any issues are overlooked. A detailed (yet easy-to-read) audit report is provided to you. The audit report is referenced throughout the migration process as it provides the migration team with prioritized tips to address technical issues and seize optimization opportunities.
2. You review the audit with the migration team and together, we collaboratively draft a migration plan.
3. The migration is then done. You'll be in regular contact with the migration team and you may be invited to participate in some migration tasks.
4. Once the content migration is complete, we review options to launch or redesign and then launch.
5. Our goal for your website on HubSpot is to make it as easy as possible for you to make future updates without needing to code.

What cannot be migrated, or can only be migrated with your participation and collaboration?

• Database-driven content, such as real estate listings, knowledge bases, extensive product catalogs, and postal code/location-based search.
• Gated content, such as logins, member access, password protection, and pages that are only accessible by form submission.
• E-commerce, such as shopping carts, storefronts, and payment processing. Consider migrating your eCommerce store into Ecwid, which is platform-agnostic, powerful, and very easy to use.
• Advanced forms, such as progressive or multi-step forms, calculators collecting submissions, special tools (links and embeds are typically fine), and forms requesting Personally Identifiable Information (PII).
• User-generated content, such as forums, ratings, comments, and profiles.
• Third-party applications, such as live chat, accessibility widgets, commenting engines, and job boards.

Some migrated content may look different:

• If you want to update the look and feel of your website, changes in the design and to the overall placement and structure of your content should be expected. We will work with you to determine how best to address changes. Based on our experience, it's usually best to schedule redesign efforts after the content migration and technical refinements has completed.

• If you decide to retain your website’s overall look and feel, we will still build your new website with some flexibility in mind. Our goal is to ensure your ease of use as you continue to use your website and build more pages in the future. Keep in mind that HubSpot's platform is unique. The way HubSpot works may differ from what you're used to. Most often, HubSpot offers a better user experience.

How do I get and apply my $4,000 Credit?

• Licensing the DropZone Pro Theme and engaging Kayak Marketing to implement your website migration makes you eligible for our 20-hour ($4k) credit, which applies to the labour portion of a website migration. The credit has no cash value, is non-transferrable, and non-refundable.

Theme or Templates?

• We strongly prefer and recommend you license the DropZone Pro Theme developer theme. Utilizing pre-developed advanced content modules make your website pages easy to build and safeguards you against the high cost and long timelines of traditional design and development projects.
• Templates typically contain branding elements and page layouts, but may not contain the content modules you want. There's a good chance you'll be looking at a custom design and development project which can be significantly more costly than licensing the DropZone Pro Theme.

Do you audit and edit for Accessibility?

We advocate and refine websites for accessibility for the roughly 20% of website visitors with mobility, vision, and hearing impairments. Request a free Accessibility Audit now.

What is DropZone Pro Theme?

We're so glad you asked. DropZone Pro Theme is what's referred to in the business as a developer theme. It features a robust collection of advanced content modules, pre-developed by our engineering team. The modules are configured into popular UX-optimized page layouts, technically optimized for SEO...without containing marketing content.

DropZone Pro Theme is the foundation and walls of your home, ready for your paint and furniture, built to code. And, it's the last website theme you'll ever need to invest in because it's easily re-configurable into new designs. Since the tech is already built, and the UI is no-code, you'll never face the high cost of traditional website redesign and development projects ever again. That'll not only save you thousands of dollars, it'll also save you weeks or months of time.
