Challenge

What had to change

Existing site was unmaintained, slow on mobile, and had no clear way to add new long-form content.

Approach

How we got it back under control.

Content-first IA

Information architecture built around the content the practitioner publishes most often, not around brand-page conventions.

Performance budget

< 1.5s LCP on a 4G connection. Held in CI.

Minimal admin surface

A trimmed WP admin: only the fields that matter, no Elementor cruft.

Outcomes

The measurable result.
