A Concrete CMS (formerly concrete5) migration means moving a block-and-area page structure into React + Tailwind code you own, ending the in-context editing dependency and the upgrade cycle. Pages are captured as rendered, blocks included. The current site stays live during the rebuild. ## Why do Concrete CMS migrations lose SEO? Concrete serves pages from a nested page tree, so page paths inherit from parents and any restructuring during a rebuild rewrites whole branches. Its page-list and topic pages generate paginated URLs that are indexed but appear nowhere in the sitemap the theme emits. ## Why teams leave Concrete CMS - **Aging PHP platform** — Concrete CMS is still shipped, but the ecosystem has thinned. Migrate before extensions and hosting options shrink further. - **Block-based rebuild** — We map Concrete's blocks to a modern React component library so the editor experience stays familiar in the rebuild. - **Preserve every page URL** — Concrete's URL trees are 301-mapped to clean the selected AI builder routes. ## Why teams leave Concrete CMS for an AI builder - **Next.js App Router output** — Pages become routes with their own metadata, which maps cleanly onto the per-page titles, descriptions and canonicals captured from the old site. - **shadcn/ui component system** — The captured design tokens — palette, fonts, radii, spacing — are applied to a component library the team can extend instead of a locked theme. - **Deploy where you want** — The project is portable React code. Vercel is the fast path, but nothing prevents another host. - **Edit by prompt, not by ticket** — Once the Concrete site is rebuilt in the selected AI builder, the team can edit pages by describing changes in plain language. - **AI-native, not AI-bolted-on** — The migration package is prepared for the selected AI builder, v0, Replit, Cursor or Claude, with instructions suited to the selected destination. - **Portable React + Tailwind you actually own** — No more proprietary templating locking your site to Concrete. The rebuild is standard React + Tailwind — any developer or any AI assistant can extend it, and no vendor can hold the codebase hostage. ## How it compares | Option | Verdict | | --- | --- | | Stay on Concrete CMS | Keeps monthly bills and the vendor lock-in. Every edit still needs a developer or agency ticket, and the platform gets older, not smarter. | | Rebuild in Next.js on Vercel | A capable route, but migration discovery, content capture, redirects and evidence still need to be assembled before the rebuild begins. | | Move to Webflow or Framer | Trades one hosted builder for another. You still don't own the code, and you'll re-platform again the day you need real product surfaces (auth, dashboards, checkout). | ## FAQ ### Do I need to touch Concrete during the migration? No. Sitejump crawls your live site the same way search engines do — we only need the public URL. Your Concrete 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 Concrete 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 Concrete rebuild is typically quoted at €3,000–€12,000 for a typical business site — 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. ## Next step Run a free audit at https://sitejump.dev/ — it samples about five pages plus the sitemap, detects the CMS, counts pages and languages, and returns an SEO preview before you pay anything.
