Through strategic optimization, we transitioned them to a new hosting solution that was 30 times more cost-effective while implementing advanced caching strategies and performance improvements. The results were transformative: an 80% improvement in website performance and annual savings of £4,000.

The new website puts Lungfish's portfolio front and centre, from educational facilities to residential developments. With automated maintenance, off-site backups, and built-in communication tools in place, Lungfish can focus on their core business while the site serves their global audience. As their Area Director Richard Fielding noted:

> "Our website is now perfectly set up to support our future development and showcase our work effectively."

## Frequently asked questions

### What did this save in hosting?

£4,000 every year. We moved them to a hosting solution 30 times more cost-effective than the one their underperforming WordPress site was on.

### How much faster is the site?

80% faster, achieved alongside the hosting move through advanced caching strategies and performance work.

### Does a practice with a global audience need more than a faster host?

It needs the site to keep running without attention. Automated maintenance, off-site backups and built-in communication tools came with the rebuild, so Lungfish focus on the practice rather than the website.

### What did the client say?

Their Area Director Richard Fielding put it as: 'Our website is now perfectly set up to support our future development and showcase our work effectively.'
