Website modernization and performance optimization for faster websites
We move outdated websites and web applications to a modern stack and make slow ones faster, so they are easier to maintain and better for the people who use them. High-quality engineering, with cost-effective international delivery.
Problems we solve
Does one of these sound familiar?
“Our website runs on technology nobody wants to touch.”
Old frameworks and custom code that few developers know turn every change into a slow, expensive job. We move the site to a modern stack that is easier to maintain and extend.
“Our pages take too long to load.”
Visitors give up on slow pages before they see what you offer. We find what is slowing the site down and fix it.
“Our site works badly on phones.”
A website that wasn’t designed for phones can be hard to read and use on a small screen. We rebuild the front end so it works well on any device.
What you get
A website that keeps up with your business again.
- A website on a modern stack that is easier to maintain and build on
- Faster pages for your visitors
- A site that works well on phones, tablets and desktops
- Ongoing development and maintenance after launch, if you want it
Technology we use
Modernizing usually means moving to technology that is widely used and well supported. Our current focus is React, Next.js, Node.js and WordPress — see React & Next.js development and WordPress development and modernization.
Is this the right fit?
A good fit if you…
- have a website or web application that has become slow, outdated or hard to change
- need faster pages for the people who visit your site
- want high-quality, modern web engineering at a cost-effective price
Probably not a fit if you…
- have a WordPress site to modernize — our WordPress development and modernization service covers it
- need a new application rather than an existing site improved — our custom web application service is a better match
How we work
Every modernization starts from what isn’t working today.
Understand the goal
You tell us about your current website and what isn’t working. We ask about the people who use it, your goals and any constraints.
Recommend an approach
We suggest a scope and technical approach, including which technology fits your website.
Build and review
We modernize the website and share progress with you along the way, so you can give feedback before launch.
Launch and support
We launch the modernized website and can continue with ongoing development, improvements and maintenance.
Questions clients ask
Do we need a full rebuild to make our site faster?
Not always. Some sites get faster with targeted fixes; others are held back by the technology underneath. Tell us about your site and we will recommend an approach.
Should we move to WordPress or to React and Next.js?
It depends on how your site is used. WordPress suits websites your team edits themselves; React and Next.js suit fast, interactive sites and products.
Will a faster website help our search visibility?
Speed is one of many things search engines consider. A faster site helps your visitors first, and it can support how you appear in search.
Do you modernize web applications too, or only websites?
Both. Modernization and performance optimization apply to web applications as well as websites.
Is your website slow or showing its age?
Tell us about your current website and what isn’t working, and we will reply by email.
