01 — The Challenge
Two decades of archives sat behind twenty-eight plugins. Editors avoided the CMS, and article pages carried more third-party script than content.
02 — Our Approach
We audited every plugin against an editorial need, rebuilt the content model as native blocks, and set a performance budget the build had to pass before launch.
03 — The Solution
A block-based WordPress theme with a curated editor experience, migrated archives with preserved URLs, and structured data across every article template.
04 — The Result
Editors publish without developer support, archived URLs still resolve, and article pages hold their layout while loading.
