Next.js Revamp — modern React-based site with optimized images.

Overview

A modern site on a modern foundation.

I revamped an older site into a modern Next.js application with improved SEO, performance, and maintainability.

The migration kept the content intact while making the platform far easier to evolve.

The problem

A legacy stack that was slow and hard to update.

The previous implementation was a legacy stack with poor SEO, slow navigation, and difficult content updates.

  • Search engines struggled with the older rendering and metadata approach.
  • Editors needed engineering help for basic content changes, slowing the whole team down.

Approach

Migrate with the right rendering strategy.

I migrated to Next.js with SSR and SSG where appropriate, restructured content models, and introduced a component system.

Choosing the rendering mode per route kept the site fast without over-building static pages that needed to be dynamic.

Solution

A React-based site with a clean content workflow.

The solution is a modern React-based site with file-based routing, optimized images, and a clean content workflow.

Editors now manage content confidently, and engineers ship features against a consistent component system.
