Most small business sites we rebuild were not bad when they shipped. They became bad slowly, as the platform aged out and the plugins multiplied. The mobile load time crept past four seconds, the SEO retainer kept going up while rankings stayed flat, and the AI engines walked past the site because they could not parse the schema or fetch the page fast enough. Platform Rebuilds is the work we do to flip that. We take a WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, Ghost, or custom-but-stale site and rebuild it on a modern stack we use ourselves on every project (TypeScript + React with Vite, Next.js, or TanStack Start, Tailwind, shadcn/ui). Lighthouse 90+, sub-2-second loads on 4G, AEO baseline included (llms.txt, AI-bot allowlist, FAQ schema, PersonJsonLd, monthly AI-traffic tracking on cite-met.com). SEO equity is preserved through a 301 redirect on every old URL. Content is migrated cleanly. House rule: the proposal always comes in below your current hosting plus plugin licensing plus SEO retainer combined.
Your old platform is quietly losing you customers. We rebuild it.
WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, and Ghost sites on a modern React stack. Lighthouse 90+, AEO baked in, sub-2-second loads on 4G, and a proposal that always comes in below your current annual spend.
Our capabilities
WordPress to Headless Migration
We rebuild small business sites off WordPress onto a modern stack (TypeScript + React + Vite or Next.js or TanStack Start), Lighthouse 90+, AEO baked in, and a content workflow your team can actually use.
Learn moreSquarespace to Custom React
Squarespace got you online in a weekend three years ago. Now you are quietly losing customers to faster, AI-discoverable sites. We rebuild on a modern React stack with AEO baked in.
Learn moreWix to Custom Migration
Wix renders pages with heavy client-side JavaScript that AI crawlers struggle to parse. We rebuild on a modern React stack with server-rendered pages and full schema markup so the engines can actually read your content.
Learn moreGhost to Headless Migration
Ghost was built for posts and pages. Modern small business sites need landing pages, service pages, location pages, comparison content, and rich schema. We rebuild on a React stack and keep the writing experience.
Learn moreCore Web Vitals Optimization
Slow sites bleed mobile visitors and rankings, and they lose AI citations too because the crawlers cannot fetch a page in time. We rebuild for sub-2-second loads on 4G, with Lighthouse 90+ as the floor.
Learn moreHeadless CMS Implementation
A headless CMS keeps your content as structured data your team can edit, while we render it as a fast modern site, an AI-readable feed, and any future channel you decide to ship to.
Learn moreLegacy CMS Technical Debt Audit
WordPress plugin sprawl, Squarespace workarounds, and three years of stacked SEO retainers add up to real money. The free 24-page audit calculates it and tells you what is worth rebuilding.
Learn moreWordPress vs Headless: The Enterprise Migration Decision Framework
A modern React stack beats WordPress on the small-business metrics that decide 2026: roughly 4x faster page loads, AEO built into the architecture rather than bolted on with a plugin, and far higher AI citation rates. The catch is that a botched rebuild costs you more than staying put. Here is the framework we use to decide what to rebuild, and when.
Learn moreSquarespace vs Custom React: When to Migrate and Why
Squarespace gets you online in a weekend, which is worth real money early on. But once your business leans on search visibility and page speed and getting found by AI, the template architecture turns into the thing capping your growth. Custom React runs 3-5x better on Core Web Vitals and costs less per year once you count what you are spending to work around the platform.
Learn moreWix vs Custom Development: The Hidden Costs of Template Websites
Wix drag-and-drop simplicity carries a price your invoice never shows: a 23/100 median mobile PageSpeed score, JavaScript-rendered pages AI crawlers choke on, and an SEO ceiling no plugin can raise. The website that looks cheapest is often the one that costs the most to run.
