We’ve been using Business Catalyst for 15 years. We predate any employee or any agency in BC. We designed, built and coded the Business Catalyst website and presented 3 times at Adobe MAX in Los Angeles. Pretty managed over 300 active websites across the globe from offices in Sydney and New York. Now we’re the Asia Pacific approved migration partner and we’re focusing our attention on clients that want to break through the limitations of Business Catalyst and move to bigger and better platforms.

As an approved Migration Partner we have access to simply detach your emails away from Adobe’s account with no disruption, no backups and migrations required. It’s a very easy process even if you're planning to move your website somewhere else we can help you with your Email Migration with very little cost to you.

Not really. You can’t download an Adobe site and move it to other hosting because your current website is hard coded into Business Catalyst. We need to collapse down the site and rebuild it using modules from another CMS. However Pretty has spent thousands of hours developing migration tools to make the content migration as seamless as possible. Our migrations are getting faster and more efficient the more we do.

Approved Migration Partners have the tools to extract the data you need. If you’re site is small you will get away with anyone migrating the site. However for the larger important sites that have content requirements I highly recommend talking to an Approved Migration Partner who will have all the tools needed to make the process easier for you.

Now Now Now. By the time the end date comes around there is going to be a mad rush for Approved Migration Partners to move sites. So the time to move is now. Also the BC platform has some major issues and the engineers refuse to fix the bugs. It’s getting worse and worse as the month pass by. Get out now is my advice.

That depends. Usually we see up to a 15% drop for up to 3 months. However we’ve migrated some sites where SEO is very important and made sure every box is ticked and they actually saw an increase within 3 months. I’ve also taken phone calls where no SEO considerations were taken and it’s wiped businesses off Google. It’s a risk that can be mitigated.

Firstly I am recommending to stay clear of any CMS platform that hasn’t been around for 5 years. It’s too risky. Pretty prefers to use highly awarded platforms that innovate, is not another hosted SAAS platform like BC, is easy to manage, is friendly for SEO, is bundled with the marketing tools we know and love, is not loaded with plugins, includes all the core modules we’d need to build most websites, is a platform we download and have full code access to etc.
