01 — Context
The business challenge
A marketing site rebuild is a high-stakes project for a very unglamorous reason: if search rankings or page speed regress during the migration, the business feels it in lost traffic and leads almost immediately. The team needed a modern, faster frontend, but not at the cost of the SEO equity and accessibility standards the existing site had already earned.
02 — Engineering
The approach & technical solution
Pages were rebuilt from design specifications with responsive layouts that worked cleanly from mobile through desktop, and every image and asset was audited and optimized for size and format rather than migrated as-is. Core Web Vitals — the load speed, interactivity, and visual-stability metrics that both search engines and users care about — were treated as a first-class requirement rather than an afterthought, which meant catching and resolving hydration and rendering issues that can otherwise cause visible layout shifts or delayed interactivity right after a framework migration. Marketing components were built to be reusable across pages, so the marketing team could assemble new pages afterward without needing a developer for every content update.
03 — Delivery

04 — Result
Business outcome
The migrated site launched faster and more SEO-friendly than the version it replaced, with the underlying component library set up so future content updates would not require a full development cycle.
