130,000 Articles Migrated: Modernizing VentureBeat’s Platform
VentureBeat faced a daunting challenge: migrating decades of content from WordPress while meeting tight deadlines for investor presentations and a full platform transition. Evrone designed a multi-step migration strategy, combining automated Python scripts with manual content validation to ensure accuracy, preserve URLs, and maintain SEO rankings. The team implemented a hybrid storage solution, placing recent content directly in Contentful for fast access, while older archives remained accessible externally to reduce licensing and storage costs.
The project also included a complete redesign, improving usability, readability, and overall brand perception. Editorial workflows became more efficient, allowing teams to create, manage, and publish content with ease. The migration was completed on time, providing a modern, scalable, and cost-effective platform capable of supporting future digital growth, new features, and continued innovation without compromising VentureBeat’s extensive content history.
