02The challenge
Change the foundation without losing existing content or hard-won search rankings.
03Our solution
The content model was rebuilt in a Laravel application, data migrated, and URLs preserved with permanent redirects. Superfluous plugins were replaced with code we control.

Load time fell by 60% and future changes no longer hinge on plugin compatibility.
