FAQs

What is CMS upgrade and platform modernisation?

It's the process of updating your CMS to the latest, most secure version and aligning your platform with modern, cloud-native standards.

Why modernise rather than stay on legacy systems?

Legacy platforms introduce security vulnerabilities, higher costs and integration limits. Modernisation future-proofs your infrastructure and unlocks innovation.

How does Growcreate protect my data?

We use Azure-based backups, rollback environments and integrity checks to ensure nothing is lost or corrupted.

Will the upgrade affect SEO or performance?

No. We plan upgrades to preserve SEO visibility, brand equity and load speed — ensuring continuity for users and search engines.

Who manages the platform after go-live?

Our dedicated support team maintains, monitors and enhances your platform as part of an ongoing partnership.

Support. Enhance. Evolve.
