How we scope large docs migrations
Why migrations fail in scope-setting, not execution, and how a representative pilot slice turns assumptions into an accurate estimate.

- MadCap Flare to Docs-as-Code migration
Leave the Flare license and its binary project behind for a Git-based Docs-as-Code workflow. We convert your topics, snippets, variables, and conditions into a modern static site your whole team can contribute to.
Why teams move from MadCap Flare to Docs-as-Code
No more single-tool bottleneck
Flare projects live in one licensed tool with a handful of seats. Docs-as-Code lets any engineer contribute in Markdown through pull requests.
Version control that fits
Real Git history and branching instead of a binary Flare project that’s hard to diff, review, or merge.
Modern, fast, AI-ready output
A static site with fast builds, CI previews, and clean HTML for search and AI assistants.
How we run the migration
01
Unpack the Flare project
We map your Flare project, topics, the TOC(s), snippets, variables, condition tags, target outputs, and skins, to understand what your published docs actually depend on.
02
Convert topics & TOC
HTM topics convert to Markdown/MDX and your Flare TOC becomes the site navigation, preserving structure rather than dumping a flat list.
03
Re-implement snippets, variables & conditions
Flare snippets become includes, variables become config-driven values, and condition tags map to build-time variants or tabs, so single-sourcing survives the move.
04
Match outputs & redirect
We reproduce your published outputs (HTML5 target) on the new platform and map every existing output URL to its new home so links and rankings hold.
What breaks in a MadCap Flare → Docs-as-Code migration
The bulk conversion is the easy part. These are the failure modes we’re actually paid to handle.
Flare snippets and variables collapsing into duplicated, hard-to-maintain content
Condition tags (single-sourced outputs) with no target equivalent
Relationship tables and cross-references breaking
Master pages / skins and branding needing a full theme rebuild
HTML5 target output URLs changing and breaking inbound links
Micro Content and search behavior that don’t carry over automatically
Start with a $990 Migration Pilot
We migrate a representative slice of your MadCap Flare docs to Docs-as-Code, a live preview plus a fixed-price plan for the full move, with the pilot fee credited if you proceed.
Commonly asked questions
From our blog
Nobody plans for redirects
The one question to answer before any migration launches: what happens to every existing URL? Skip it and you lose traffic, links, and trust.
