Challenge
Client relied on WordPress for content management but faced increasing challenges as the company grew:
- Slow time to market due to ad-hoc development processes.
- Security risks associated with WordPress plugins.
- Lack of content governance, leading to inconsistent workflows.
- Decreased lead generation, as the existing system struggled to scale.
Solution
To overcome these issues, we introduced Next.js and Contentstack as a headless CMS solution while maintaining WordPress for a transitional period. Key improvements included:
- Faster content publishing through a structured content model.
- Enhanced security by replacing WordPress plugins with a controlled CMS environment.
- Scalability & flexibility with reusable content components and dynamic page templates.
- Improved performance using SSG/SSR with Next.js, reducing page load times.
- Marketing-friendly approach by enabling content editors to modify pages without developer intervention.
Implementation Highlights
- Hybrid WordPress & Next.js integration to ensure a smooth transition.
- Google Tag Manager & Marketo integration for enhanced analytics and marketing automation.
- Modular content structure with reusable components and preview capabilities.
- Contentstack Launch for managed CI/CD, automating deployments, and improving workflow efficiency.
- CDN-based load balancing to optimize content delivery across platforms.

Flexible work formats
For convenience we offer several standard models of work with our clients.
Time and material
Model works best when you don’t have a clear scope and want to be deeply involved in the development process.
Choose it if:
- you want to follow agile methodologies
- you need to be flexible due to quickly changing requirements and taste hypothesis time to time.
- you don’t have strict deadlines
All of that doesn’t mean you go in blind. Just like in the fixed-price model, you start your cooperation with planning, but only for the upcoming week or two. So instead of determining and fixing requirements for the whole project, you start fast and can further adjust the scope and priorities.
Fixed-capacity
This model focuses on ensuring the efficiency and velocity of the team. To achieve this, the supplier must ensure that different skill sets of members are assigned to a development squad to effectively deliver the project.
Choose it if:
- you want to follow agile methodologies
- you would like to have a fixed budget for a certain period, but don't have a clear idea on the defined scope of work or specifications
- you understand further support steps and define continued predictable costs
We need to work with the client to clarify the scope of work and prioritize the backlogs before the next iteration starts. As the project progresses, it allows the client to mold the project along the way to take advantage of newly released features.
