(02) What is Arc XP
A powerful media platform. And demanding.
Arc XP is the CMS and digital experience platform created by The Washington Post, used by major media outlets worldwide. It is very powerful, but it demands a team that knows its architecture: PageBuilder, the content model, its APIs and its integrations. That is where we come in.
Support and maintenance for implementations already running.
Your Arc XP technical team when you have no in-house developers.
Implementation from scratch or evolution of the one you already have.
Integrations with your systems: subscriptions, advertising, analytics and third parties.
(03) How we migrate
Migrating means moving traffic, not just content.
A badly done migration loses rankings within weeks. Ours starts with SEO: which URLs rank, which must be kept and which are redirected.
Inventory and mapping
we model your content types, authors, categories and tags into the Arc XP content model (ANS).
Content and images
batch transformations, format validation and review of text and media on a real sample.
301 redirects
a map from old to new URLs, tested before the cutover and tracked in Search Console afterwards.
Cutover and support
rehearsal, a short editorial freeze and hands-on support during the first weeks.

(07) Frequently asked questions
Common questions about Arc XP.
How long does it take to migrate an outlet to Arc XP?
It depends on archive size and how much the design changes. We define it after an audit, with a phased plan and a cutover date agreed in writing.
Do rankings drop when migrating?
A well-planned migration keeps them: we keep URLs where possible, 301-redirect the rest and verify crawling and indexing after the cutover.
Do you also migrate away from Arc XP?
Yes. We move content to or from Arc XP; if you need other migrations, see our migrations service.
Do you support an Arc XP implementation we already have?
Yes, it is one of our strengths. We plug into your current Arc XP, understand how it is built and take over support, incidents and improvements, with or without documentation.
We have no Arc XP developers. Can you be our team?
Exactly. We work as your Arc XP technical team: you set the priorities and we execute, as an extension of your outlet.
Can you implement Arc XP from scratch?
Yes, or finish a half-done implementation. We guide you through the content model, PageBuilder, the APIs and the integrations you need.
Do you do integrations and migrations with Arc XP?
Yes. We connect Arc XP with subscriptions, advertising, analytics and third parties, and handle content migrations to or from the platform.
What experience do you have with Arc XP?
The people on our team previously worked as developers in the digital area of a national newspaper in Ecuador, on Arc XP: PageBuilder, integrations with Piano, Cxense, Google Ad Manager and DataFactory. That experience is personal and predates Codegea. We are not an official Arc XP partner: we work with your license.
Do you work with media outside Ecuador?
Yes. We work remotely with media in Latin America (Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Argentina, Chile…) the United States and Canada; Arc XP support does not depend on where you are.
