I have clients who are using sitecore for their site. Its over bloated and much more than they need. I am redesigning their site in wordpress, no problem. However they have certain 'tools' setup that they want to keep, so Im wondering if I can transfer them to Umbraco or any CMS that doesn't have a hefty license fee!
The sitecore license is due to be renewed for another year, and Im trying to find a stop gap so we dont have to pay... can you transfer the whole site easily to umbraco?
The best you are likely to be able to get is the raw content of the site as XML. You can then run that through some XSLT to generate an input XML format for Umbraco.
Alternatively, use wget to spider the website and generate a whole load of HTML, and then copy/paste that back into the new CMS. Sounds painful, but it's often what's needed in these migrations (I have resorted to that for several clients).
