Project Summary

KitRUM migrated a Craft CMS website to WordPress for an Elasticsearch service company, recreating the prior design while improving maintainability. The migration included hundreds of blog posts and multiple internal pages and enabled the marketing team to run targeted lead-gen experiments without developer support. The vendor provided consistent updates and weekly check-ins during the engagement.

Key Challenges

Hard-coded design elements prevented marketing from making changes
Developers were unavailable for routine site edits
Migrate multiple internal pages and several hundred blog posts to WordPress while preserving design

Project Deliverables

Staging/test environment
WordPress modules/themes matching previous design
Migrated internal pages and several hundred blog posts
Production deployment

Project Solution

KitRUM recreated the existing site's look and feel while making it maintainable by migrating from Craft CMS to WordPress. They created a staging/test environment, designed and coded modules to match the old design, migrated content (including hundreds of blog posts), performed error checking across pages, and deployed the site to production. The client worked primarily with two KitRUM team members: a JS/WordPress developer and a project manager.

Project Outcome

Site is more maintainable by marketing team, reducing developer involvement
Improved lead generation and ability to run targeted experiments
Weekly check-ins and JIRA-based progress tracking ensured communication
Flawless production launch
