Improving Reliability and Performance, Allowing a Marketing Team to Smoothly Scale

We improved performance, increasing site consistency and stability through a replatform on Pantheon.

Focus

Problem

Reputation.com is a leading product and service provider in the public relations industry. They wanted to ensure that a slow and outdated website didn’t tarnish their reputation. The small marketing team needed a partner who could help make the website align with their awesome product and become a constantly evolving driver of new business.

Solution

We replatformed the site from a DIY builder theme to improve the CMS experience. We embraced the efficiencies their new hosting platform Pantheon provides, allowing us to increase website reliability and performance. Leaning further into Pantheon workflows, we streamlined intake and introduced the iteration process and development workflows to increase efficiency and reduce errors in deployment.

Platform shifts are an opportunity to take advantage of the best systems available

Using existing visuals and brand standards, we created a design system that would work in the WordPress Block Editor. We rebuilt the site leaning heavily on WordPress’s block system to both improve the administrative experience and reduce development costs. Redeveloping the site on the Pantheon hosting platform helped us gain speed, providing us a clean way to fully rebuild without disrupting the existing live site.

Consistent UX at your desk on the go

The WordPress Block Editor ensures a seamless user experience by maintaining consistent design and layout across desktop and mobile platforms. Its block-based structure allows users to create responsive content that automatically adapts to different screen sizes, eliminating the need for extensive manual adjustments.

Improvements in performance, such as quicker loading times and smoother editing interactions, make it easier to create and edit content efficiently, regardless of the device used. This results in a cohesive and reliable experience for both creators and audiences.

Fast and effective WordPress content management

With a better content management solution on a faster hosting platform, Reputation.com’s next step was to expand its content marketing with a redesigned resources section.

Leveraging Pantheon’s multidev technology, we designed and developed the resource feature to scale with them as their content marketing needs expanded.

Site reliability is at an all-time high, with CWV scores increasing as we build further efficiency.

Through our work, we’ve improved site speed and reliability significantly, with a 99.98% uptime and 120% improvement on Core Web Vital scores. We have substantially improved the user experience through new layouts and feature additions. As the organization grows, it no longer needs to worry about site reliability as its new WordPress theme, Pantheon hosting, and COLAB partnership scales with it.
