Website Modernization
Upgrade your digital presence without starting from scratch.
Modern engineering, zero lock‑in
We design fast, secure, maintainable systems using open standards so your business owns the platform—not the other way around.
Don't Rewrite, Refactor
You don't always need a complete rebuild to see significant improvements. Many businesses have valuable content and a strong brand identity trapped in an outdated or underperforming website.
Our modernization service focuses on incremental improvements that deliver high impact with lower risk than a full "rip and replace" project.
Common Modernization Targets
- Legacy WordPress Sites: Moving from a tangle of plugins to a headless setup or a clean, custom theme.
- Static HTML/CSS: Porting old static sites to a modern component framework like Astro for better maintainability.
- Performance Remediation: optimizing images, scripts, and fonts to pass Core Web Vitals.
Our Process
1. Audit & Analysis
We start with a comprehensive audit of your current site, covering:
- Performance benchmarks (Lighthouse, WebPageTest).
- Accessibility compliance (WCAG 2.1).
- Security vulnerabilities (outdated dependencies).
- Content structure and SEO health.
2. Strategy & Prioritization
We identify the "low-hanging fruit"—changes that offer the biggest return on investment. This might mean simply optimizing assets, or it might involve migrating a specific section of the site to a new stack.
3. Execution & Validation
We implement the changes in a staging environment, allowing you to verify the improvements before they go live. We use automated testing (like Playwright) to ensure no existing functionality is broken.
Benefits of Modernization
- Improved SEO: Faster sites rank better.
- Lower Hosting Costs: optimizing assets and caching can drastically reduce bandwidth usage.
- Better Security: Removing outdated plugins and dependencies reduces your attack surface.
- Enhanced User Experience: A snappy, accessible site converts better.
