A dormant legacy platform rebuilt and cut over without abandoning its production data.

A dormant WordPress platform was revived and rebuilt for production. The rebuild preserved the legacy data contract, replaced the presentation and application layer, and kept every production change behind explicit review, remediation, and deployment gates. The public result is a search-led directory with filterable data visualisations.

The live platform. The rebuilt homepage leads with search and routes directly into the Guide. Notice the entry point is the directory itself, not a marketing splash.

Problem
Revive a dormant platform while preserving legacy production content and the relationships between its records.
Role
Managing Editor, full platform and product owner, sole human rebuild lead, and final technical approver.
Constraint
Preserve read-only legacy fields, prevent data loss, and keep production deployment human-gated throughout.
Decision
Replace the presentation and application layer while retaining the production data contract intact.

How the rebuild ran.

The legacy data contract stayed fixed while project-specific agents did scoped work. Every step that touched production waited behind a human gate.

The data visualisations.

The rebuild turned current organisation records into filterable analytical views rather than a static presentation layer. Step through the working surfaces below.

Organisations over time
Filterable, not static. Live directory records drive a stacked time-series with working filters.

The SDG index.

A separate set of views makes the content model inspectable across the 17 Sustainable Development Goals: connection paths, ranked shares, a relationship network, and an overlap matrix.

Connection paths
Trace a route between goals. The path shows the records that bridge two SDGs.

Measured, not asserted.

Comparable PageSpeed categories improved on both mobile and desktop. Step between the two views below.

Mobile
Mobile. The rebuild pulled every category up out of the legacy range and cut the worst of the load delay. Performance is the one score still short of green, so paint weight and asset delivery on mobile are the work that continues.
