Because of the number of plugins and the transition to the Gutenberg editor, it had prevented content updates for five years due to repeated PHP errors. As a small immigration advisory business in Nottingham, they needed a cost-effective solution that would maintain their local SEO presence while providing an intuitive content management system that wouldn't require technical expertise to update regularly.

We implemented a barebones [Sanity](/services/sanity) and Next.js solution that drastically reduced hosting costs while delivering near-perfect lighthouse scores across performance, accessibility, and SEO metrics. By tailoring the content blocks specifically for immigration services content and using Sanity's real-time preview capability, we transformed the client's editorial experience.
