WordPress rebuild: courses, blog, and enroll funnel

The Challenge:

  • A bloated theme and many plugins made pages slow; mobile experience hurt engagement and time on page.
  • Course and blog URLs were inconsistent, blocking clean internal linking and crawl budget efficiency.
  • The team could not publish at scale; editors needed reusable blocks and SEO guardrails.

Our Approach:

  • Rebuilt the theme with block patterns, minimal plugins, and caching that matched hosting constraints.
  • Standardized program and location pages with clear H1s, internal links, and Course / Organization schema.
  • Migrated content with 301s, disavow review not needed, and a Search Console re-crawl plan.

The Challenge:

Content & tech audit:URL inventory, redirect map, and plugin rationalization.
Block-based design:Accessible components for hero, FAQ, curriculum, and CTA blocks.
WordPress build:Custom child theme, performance hardening, and role-based editing.
Validation:Rich result testing, speed audits, and editor training.

Key Features Delivered:

  • Structured data for courses, events, and breadcrumbs; FAQ schema on high-intent program pages.
  • Programmatic near-me and topic clusters with a consistent template and metadescription logic.
  • Image CDN pipeline and critical CSS to improve FCP and LCP on long-form content.
  • Forms integrated with the CRM; thank-you and confirmation events for lead attribution.
