• Research and recommend a suitable third-party CMS built on Laravel, such as October CMS, Pyro CMS, or TypiCMS.
• Develop a detailed migration plan, including the timeline, deliverables, and dependencies.
• Migrate the website content, including pages, posts, images, and other media, to the new CMS.
• Customize the chosen CMS to match our existing website design and branding.
• Implement any additional features or functionality required for our website within the new CMS.
• Ensure the migrated website is fully functional, responsive, and optimized for performance.
• Conduct thorough testing and quality assurance to identify and resolve any issues or bugs.
• Provide documentation and training to our team on how to manage and update content using the new CMS.
• Some revisions and improvements on the website.
• Improve page speed.
• Replicate the current website with minor changes into a new domain for a sister business website based on the original one (same template, small design adjustments).

Requirements:

• Strong expertise in Laravel framework and PHP development.
• Proven experience in website migrations and CMS implementations.
• Familiarity with third-party CMS platforms built on Laravel, such as October CMS, Pyro CMS, or TypiCMS.
• Proficiency in front-end technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
• Ability to customize and extend CMS functionality using Laravel's APIs and plugins.
• Attention to detail and ability to replicate existing website design and branding in the new CMS.
• Strong problem-solving and troubleshooting skills.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
• Portfolio or examples of previous website migrations or CMS implementations.

Duration: This project is expected to be completed within 4 weeks. The timeline can be further discussed and adjusted based on availability and requirements.
