This engagement focused on preserving what customers already trusted while rebuilding the full web experience for speed, maintainability, and stronger conversion performance.

Faster with reusable components

Challenge

The existing WordPress implementation had grown difficult to maintain, and performance issues were increasing bounce risk. The team needed a modern architecture without disrupting familiar buyer journeys or damaging existing search equity.

System applied

Implementation plan

  1. Phase 1: Migration architecture

    Mapped legacy templates into a reusable Next.js component system and aligned routes to preserve key indexing and campaign landing behavior.

  2. Phase 2: Performance hardening

    Reduced render and asset bottlenecks through image optimization, component-level loading strategy updates, and tighter page composition patterns.

  3. Phase 3: Conversion instrumentation

    Added event and form tracking throughout the funnel so marketing and leadership could monitor conversion gains with clear attribution.

Outcome

Before

  • Slow page loads and unstable performance scores on key pages
  • Lead form conversion below growth target
  • Marketing and engineering teams constrained by WordPress template limitations

After

  • Higher web performance scores across key user journeys
  • Improved lead conversion rate from the same traffic base
  • Faster release workflow with reusable Next.js components
