Challenge

The client, Iambitious (currently Dasato), approached us to rebuild their website on WordPress, replacing an outdated Laravel-based system that had become difficult to maintain. Their goal was to create a modern, clean, and easy-to-manage site that would simplify content editing for future team members.

The original website was technically and visually obsolete, so the new one was intended as a major upgrade in both presentation and usability. While we initially recommended exploring other platforms due to long-term maintainability concerns, the client decided to continue with WordPress and reuse selected visuals and data from the previous site.

Solution

Our team designed and developed a new WordPress-based platform focused on visual clarity, efficient content structure, and smooth performance. We optimized the theme for easier customization and implemented clear content hierarchies to ensure scalability for future updates and better SEO visibility.

We also introduced several website improvements that the original site lacked – including enhanced meta and Open Graph tags for richer link previews, refined page structure for improved indexing, and performance optimizations that led to significantly faster loading times and a higher Lighthouse score.

Throughout development, we maintained close communication with the client, adapting the scope and priorities to align with their funding situation and evolving needs.

To support new team members joining Dasato, we also prepared a simple user guide explaining how to manage and update content on the new site, ensuring long-term usability and independence.

Outcome

The client described communication with us as pleasant and easygoing, highlighting our flexibility and responsiveness despite budget constraints. They were highly satisfied with the design quality and appreciated that the final site included all essential information about the program.

Summary

The project successfully transformed an outdated Laravel site into a modern, visually appealing, and functional WordPress platform – while providing valuable lessons in client communication, project scoping, and long-term technical strategy.
