Migrate Adobe Experience Manager to Claude Code — without losing SEO
Sitejump audits the AEM site, preserves every URL, redirect and meta tag, then packages it for a modern React + Tailwind rebuild in Claude Code.
What is a Adobe Experience Manager migration?
An Adobe Experience Manager migration means replacing AEM Sites — the author and publish instances, the dispatcher, the OSGi bundles and the component library — with a standard React + Tailwind website. The published pages are crawled as delivered through the dispatcher, so no Java developer has to package a content export. It is usually the alternative to another multi-year AEM upgrade or Cloud Service move.
Why do Adobe Experience Manager migrations lose SEO?
AEM's /content/site/en/page.html paths are usually rewritten to clean URLs at the dispatcher, so the internal content tree and the public URL space disagree, and vanity URLs add a third set. Language copies and live copies multiply the same page across locales with hreflang tags emitted by templates that no longer exist after a rebuild.
Why teams leave Adobe Experience Manager
AEM Sites and Assets licensing, infrastructure, and SI partners together are typically a major enterprise line item. AI-builder rebuilds run on flat infrastructure that most teams can operate in-house.
The AEM talent pool is shrinking. React + Tailwind is what every developer already knows and every AI assistant can extend.
We preserve URL structure, redirects, locales, and metadata so compliance, SEO, and analytics keep working — without the AEM workflow overhead.
Why teams move Adobe Experience Manager to Claude Code
Claude Code works in the terminal against a real repository, which fits teams that want the AEM rebuild to land in their existing codebase and CI.
The rebuild can start inside a repository you already have, following the conventions and checks that are already in place.
Large page batches, redirect tables and language versions are handled in one continuous working session through the connector.
The output is a portable project: choose the host, the domain setup and the release process.
AEM historically means Adobe partners for every change. in the selected AI builder, marketing describes the change in plain English and the AI applies it — no ticket, no release train.
AEM specialists are rare and expensive. React + Tailwind is what every developer already knows and every AI assistant can extend — hiring and outsourcing get materially easier.
Hosted AI builders can ship hosting, forms, image handling, security scanning, and analytics in one package — replacing a stack of AEM SKUs plus the infrastructure to run them.

Honest, one-line takes on the other paths a AEM team usually considers.
| Option | What actually happens |
|---|---|
| Stay on AEM | Licensing, infrastructure, and SI partner keep eating the roadmap. Every marketing change still needs a ticket, and the talent pool keeps shrinking. |
| Move to AEM as a Cloud Service | Same vendor, same SKU family, still needs AEM specialists. It's a re-platform without a real cost or agility change. |
| Rebuild in Next.js + a headless CMS | Real stack, but you own the whole build and marketing still needs developers for edits. Supported hosted builders can combine hosting, AI editing, and MCP so non-developers keep control. |
| Migrate with Sitejump | One free audit, one-time payment, SEO preserved, and marketing edits the site with the compatible web builder or coding workspace that fits your delivery flow. |

How the Adobe Experience Manager → Claude Code move actually works
- 1. Free audit. Paste your AEM URL. We crawl a sample, detect Adobe Experience Manager, count pages, and give you a preview report.
- 2. One-time payment. Pay once (tiered by page count). The full audit runs and packages your site into a migration bundle.
- 3. Paste one MCP URL into your AI builder. Lovable, v0, Replit Agent or a compatible coding workspace reads the migration package and rebuilds it in prioritised page batches on your instruction.
Adobe Experience Manager migration FAQ
Do I need to touch AEM during the migration?
No. Sitejump crawls your live site the same way search engines do — we only need the public URL. Your AEM install keeps running until you're ready to cut over.
What about SEO? Will rankings drop?
Every URL is preserved or 301-redirected to its new route, and every page's title, description, canonical and OG tags are carried forward. Search Console sees a clean move, not a rebuild.
Is this a subscription?
No. One free audit, then a one-time payment based on your site's page count. Lifetime access to your migration data through your account MCP connector.
How does the rebuild actually happen?
Paste one MCP URL into an AI builder, v0, Replit Agent or a compatible coding workspace. The builder reads the migration package and rebuilds pages on your instruction — you stay in control of design and structure.
Does paying for a migration replace my live website?
No. The current site keeps running as-is. Payment unlocks the migration package and connector for the saved destination. The switch happens only when the rebuilt site is published and the domain is moved.
Which AI builder should I use for a AEM migration?
Choose the selected AI builder, v0 or Replit for a hosted project, or Cursor or Claude for a portable repository deployed to a host you control. Sitejump saves the choice with the migration and adapts the instructions and package.
What would this cost with an agency instead?
A manual AEM rebuild is typically quoted at €30,000 and up — most of that is the copying: pages, redirects, images and language versions carried over by hand. Sitejump automates that part for a one-time fee.
Can non-developers edit the site after migration?
Yes. The selected AI builder can apply plain-language changes after the rebuild. Complex product features and integrations may still need developer review.
