Raekdata
Helped migrate off WordPress to a modern Next.js UI to improve UX, maintainability, and performance. Wrote an algorithm to migrate blog content seamlessly and integrated Stripe payments for their services.
01 The Challenge
Raekdata was stuck on WordPress with hundreds of blog posts and service pages. The site was slow, hard to maintain, and they wanted to add subscription-based services with recurring payments. They needed to migrate all existing content without losing SEO rankings or breaking URLs, while simultaneously modernizing the tech stack.
02 The Solution
Built a Next.js application with static generation for blog posts and dynamic pages for services. Wrote a custom migration script that pulled all WordPress content via the REST API, converted it to Markdown, and preserved all metadata for SEO. Implemented proper redirects to maintain URL structure and search rankings. Integrated Stripe for one-time and subscription payments with a customer portal for managing subscriptions. The new site loads 5x faster and is significantly easier to maintain.
