Identical, and measured
We rebuild the front end from your live site, not from a starter kit. Each template is compared with the original at desktop, tablet and mobile widths before it ships.
Sengo Replica: change platforms, keep everything else
Sengo Replica is Sengo's CMS and DXP migration accelerator. It rebuilds your current website 1:1 on the platform you choose. Same pages, same look on every screen, same URLs. Your content moves into clean, structured models ready for a headless CMS.
It works from any source to any destination, so the accelerator never decides your platform. You do.

Content is not pasted in as HTML. It lands as new structured content mapped to the destination's content model, so editors work with proper fields from day one.
How Sengo Replica works
One team runs the whole move, from the first crawl to the switch.
Capture
We read your live site: every page, template, asset, URL and piece of metadata.
Rebuild 1:1
Templates become components on the new front end, matched to the original at every screen size.
Move the content
Content is transformed into new structured models in the destination CMS, wherever it came from.
Check and switch
We compare old and new for layout, URLs, redirects and metadata, then plan the cutover with your team.
Why not a typical migration accelerator?
Most accelerators on the market are built to land on one vendor's platform, or rebuild your site on an agency starter kit. Replica is built for the site you already have.
| Question | Sengo Replica | Accelerators tied to one platform | Starter-kit rebuilds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Where can you go? | Any platform you choose | One vendor's platform | Usually one platform |
| How is the front end built? | Rebuilt 1:1 from your live site | Depends on the tool | Rebuilt on the agency's components, so it looks different |
| What happens to content? | Moved into new structured models | Often limited to one source system | Varies by project |
| Who picks the platform? | You, based on your needs, budget and team | Decided before the project starts | Decided by the kit |
| Do you need a redesign? | No. Keep your design, or rebuild to a new one from Figma | Depends on the tool | Yes, in practice |

Questions about Sengo Replica
What is Sengo Replica?
Sengo Replica is Sengo's CMS and DXP migration accelerator. It rebuilds your existing website 1:1 on a new platform and moves your content into structured models ready for a headless CMS, with SEO checks before launch.
How is Sengo Replica different from other migration accelerators?
Most CMS and DXP migration accelerators are built to land on one vendor's platform, or rebuild your site on an agency starter kit. Replica works from any source to any destination and rebuilds the site you already have, 1:1, so you can change platforms without a redesign.
Which platforms does it work with?
Any source and any destination. Common sources are Sitecore XP, WordPress, Drupal, Kentico and custom builds. Sengo is a partner of Sitecore, Optimizely, Kentico, Contentful and Storyblok, and recommends the platform that fits your needs, budget and team.
What does pixel for pixel mean in practice?
Each rebuilt template is compared with the original at desktop, tablet and mobile widths. Differences are fixed before the template ships, so visitors and editors see the site they already know.
Will we lose our search rankings?
Replica is built to keep your search visibility. URLs, redirects, titles, meta descriptions, canonicals and structured data are carried over and checked before cutover. Nobody can promise rankings, but a 1:1 move removes the usual reasons they drop.
Is our content copied over as HTML?
No. Content is transformed into new structured content that fits the destination's content model, so editors get proper fields and reusable components instead of pasted pages.
Can we change the design during the move?
Yes. Replica can rebuild to a new design straight from Figma and a design system such as Storybook. You can also keep your current design and redesign later: a 1:1 move separates the platform change from the redesign, and the rebuilt components are ready for design changes at your own pace.
Can our team see the work as it happens?
Yes. Replica is not a black box. From day 1, your team can see the rebuilt site, try it and work on it with us.
What is Sengo Replica built with?
Ploy, an AI marketing platform that turns a website into a growth engine, plus transformers and checks built by Sengo. Sengo is an official Ploy partner.
How does the free pilot work?
Send one page URL and your target platform. We rebuild that template 1:1 so you can compare it with the original before you commit to anything.
