Client: MyLivingChoice.com

Original Platform: WordPress

New Platform: Custom PHP Framework (Laravel)

The client sought to elevate their existing website from WordPress to a robust, custom PHP framework using Laravel, aiming to retain the original design while significantly enhancing functionality and performance. The project’s scope included on-page SEO, speed optimization, secure hosting, and the development of custom map search functionality. A crucial part of the brief was to build a comprehensive admin backend in Laravel for streamlined site management.

1. Design and Layout Conversion: Our first step was a careful analysis and replication of the original WordPress site’s design. We transitioned every element to Laravel, ensuring the new platform mirrored the original site’s layout and user experience.

2. Custom Map Search Functionality: A standout feature of this project was the creation of custom map search functionality, developed from the ground up to meet the client’s specific requirements. This feature was designed to enhance the user experience by providing efficient, accurate search results without relying on off-the-shelf scripts.

3. On-Page SEO Optimization: Our SEO team implemented comprehensive on-page SEO strategies, including keyword optimization, meta tags, and URL structuring, to ensure the site’s content was fully optimized for search engines, thereby boosting visibility and traffic.

4. Speed Optimization: Through various techniques such as image optimization, code minification, and leveraging advanced caching, we significantly improved the site’s loading speed. This optimization was crucial for enhancing user engagement and SEO rankings.

5. Reliable Hosting: We transitioned MyLivingChoice.com to a premium hosting solution known for high performance and reliability, ensuring optimal site speed and uptime.

6. Admin Backend Development: A pivotal component of our solution was the development of a custom admin backend, built in Laravel. This backend was tailored to the client’s needs, providing powerful and intuitive tools for website management, content updates, and user analytics.

1. Bespoke Map Search: The custom map search feature has become a highlight for MyLivingChoice.com, offering users a unique and efficient way to find relevant listings.

2. Enhanced Site Performance: The move to Laravel, coupled with our optimization efforts, resulted in a website that performs exceptionally well, with faster load times and improved SEO positioning.

3. Streamlined Site Management: The custom-built admin backend has empowered the client with a comprehensive set of tools for efficient site management, significantly reducing the time and effort required to maintain and update the website.

Our transformation of MyLivingChoice.com from a WordPress site to a custom Laravel application showcases our commitment to delivering tailored, high-performance web solutions.
