Sometimes, old tech such as WordPress is not enough to keep up with modern standards and requirements for website performance and content management. The Jamstack architecture enables a ultra-fast front-end performance while keeping content management operations organized and scalable.

Modern web development

How the content migration
and development was executed:

Orchestrating a migration project on an enterprise scale required careful planning and execution.

1. Model content in Agility CMS
The first step in the migration process was to model content in Agility CMS based on the structure on WordPress. This was done by going through the pages and different content types on WordPress and re-creating them as modular content models in Agility CMS.
- Model content in Agility CMS
- Configure Agility CMS for front-end development and content migration
2. Migrate content from WordPress
After modelling the content on Agility CMS, the second step was to export all data such as pages, images and other assets from WordPress and import them to Agility. Thanks to Agility's flexibility it was easy to get WordPress' content, transform it to match the new content models and import it in Agility.
- Migrate WordPress content to Agility CMS
- Most data was migrated programmatically by using WordPress and Agility CMS APIs
3. Front-end development
Now that all data was modelled and migrated from WordPress to Agility it was convenient to start working on the front-end software code with Next.js. Agility provides an excellent architecture for creating modular, highly customizable and efficient page layouts.
- Front-end development with Next.js
- Optimization for accessibility and performance
4. QA and publication
The final step involved extensive quality assurance. This included device and browser testing with Browserstack and manual testing where we ensured all pages contained correct data from SEO tags to H tag ordering. After the quality assurance phase the site was published on Vercel.
- Device and browser testing with Browserstack
- Manual testing for essential markup validity and functionality
