Marketing site · WordPress → Next.js

WordPress to Next.js, zero-downtime cutover, +247% organic clicks.

Their WordPress site couldn't pass Lighthouse, broke in design review, and required a contractor for every change. We replatformed onto Next.js with a headless CMS — and the SEO compounded the perf wins into 247% more organic clicks over 90 days.

The starting state

The firm’s WordPress site had grown into a 12-plugin Frankenstack. Every change took a week and a contractor invoice. Lighthouse perf scores were in the low 40s, conversions were drifting down quarter over quarter, and the marketing team was actively avoiding the homepage.

What we shipped

Six-week replatform onto Next.js + Sanity, with a redirect map reviewed page-by-page so SEO equity transferred cleanly.

  • Schema modeled around editor workflows — marketers can ship a page change without filing a ticket.
  • Performance budget set at sign-off (LCP <1.5s, CLS <0.10), enforced in CI on every PR.
  • AVIF images, font subsetting, deferred third-party scripts — the boring fundamentals, executed.
  • SEO migration: 1:1 redirect map, hreflang done right, schema markup verified post-launch.
