Sharky,
Elevated X is intended as an out of the box adult CMS solution. It works extremely well for 90% of adult site owners.

When someone runs into trouble it often has nothing to do with the CMS or the move. Most problems are due to someone requiring a massive customization project on top of moving their content over. If you buy a new house and then want to demolish and rebuild 2/3 of it, it's going to be far more messy than just moving in and hanging new curtains...

We offer a few options for moving content that make things easy:
1) We provide database documentation so you can have a developer write a script to convert your data
2) The CMS has a built-in CSV import utility that will take an Excel file of your data and import it into the system with 1 click
3) Add content manually which can usually be done at a rate of about 50-100 updates/content sets per day on avg. Big copy/paste job. Not much fun but not terrible.

Please email, ICQ me or give me a call. 800-690-9277 ext 1. I'll be happy to share honest info based on dozens of migrations - even if that means telling you I feel Elevated X is a poor fit or that a custom CMS is the best way to go based on your needs.
