From a slow WordPress site to a static build that deploys in 90 seconds

Rebuilt a 20-page marketing and docs site as a static Next.js build on Cloudflare, cutting load time by 70% and hosting cost to near zero.

Illustrative example — representative of real engagements, published as a template until client-approved write-ups replace it.

The problem

  • The marketing team could not publish without a developer, and every plugin update risked taking the site down.
  • Hosting was a managed WordPress plan that was slow under traffic spikes and expensive for what was, functionally, a brochure.
  • Docs lived in a separate hosted tool with its own login and no version history.

The approach

  • Migrated all pages and docs into an MDX content pipeline with a front-matter schema checked in CI.
  • Built a component library matched to the existing brand so the redesign was invisible to visitors — just faster.
  • Deployed to Cloudflare Pages with branch previews; set up redirects for every old URL to protect search rankings.

The outcome

  • Marketing publishes by merging a Markdown change; a draft preview URL is posted automatically for review.
  • Core Web Vitals moved into the green across the board.
  • The old WordPress host was cancelled entirely.

We stopped thinking about the website as a thing that could break. It just works now, and we ship copy changes ourselves.
