The result
Completed the transition to a modern headless website setup.
Content and delivery, with room to evolve.
Problem
The marketing website needed a more flexible foundation that could support ongoing content and development work without keeping everything tied to a traditional WordPress setup.
Context
This was an employer project at a growing B2B hardware company. The public description is intentionally generalized and excludes confidential implementation details.
What I owned
- Owned the migration from the marketing side.
- Coordinated the developer, external partners and internal stakeholders.
- Helped translate content, marketing and operational needs into implementation requirements.
- Managed practical migration decisions and the transition away from the previous platform.
Approach
- Moved the website from WordPress to a headless architecture using Contentful and Vercel.
- Kept the project focused on maintainability, content operations and a workable handover for the marketing team.
- Coordinated feedback and decisions across technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Outcome
- Completed the transition to a modern headless website setup.
- Created a clearer separation between content management and website delivery.
- Established a stronger technical foundation for future website improvements.
What I learned
- Platform migrations depend as much on content ownership, stakeholder decisions and operating processes as they do on technology.
- Clear boundaries between marketing requirements and technical implementation make vendor and developer collaboration more effective.
