The Complete Agency Transformation
The Challenge
As a marketing agency preaching performance and modern technology, we had a problem. Our own website was built on outdated WordPress, slow, and didn't reflect the cutting-edge approach we promised our clients.
The Issues:
- WordPress site with 60+ PageSpeed score
- No real analytics or conversion tracking
- Outdated design that didn't represent our brand
- Manual processes that slowed down client delivery
- No systematic approach to showcasing our work

We started by auditing everything - our brand positioning, technical requirements, and user experience goals.
Key Decisions:
- Svelte 5 for maximum performance and modern development experience
