I would like to understand the process for migrating more than 5,000 static pages and several user interaction forms from a SharePoint public-facing site to Power Pages, while preserving existing styles and color themes.
Specifically, I need clarity on the following:
Prerequisites: What setup or requirements should be in place before starting the migration?
Data Migration: What is the recommended approach to migrate the data?
Content Strategy: Should the static pages themselves be moved, or should the content be migrated into Dataverse tables with new forms created in Power Pages?
Potential Issues: What challenges or common problems might arise during this migration?
Tools: Are there any third-party tools available to assist with this process?
Any guidance or best practices would be greatly appreciated.
Create a Power Pages site in your environment with Dataverse enabled.
Configure custom domain and SSL if needed.
Export SharePoint Content
Download static content (HTML, CSS, images).
Export lists and form data.
Move Data to Dataverse
Use Dataflows or Power Automate to import SharePoint lists into Dataverse tables.
Recreate Pages and Forms

Build new forms linked to Dataverse tables.
Apply Existing Styles
Copy your CSS and color themes from SharePoint.
Add them in Power Pages via Themes or custom CSS.
Handle Common Issues
