Case study: Commodity Board – WordPress replaced, Lighthouse at 100
Solid frontend craft in an enterprise context: an overgrown WordPress base replaced by a modern, API-first stack.
Solid frontend craft in an enterprise context.
Tech stack: React Router 7 · Tailwind CSS · API-first
Problem
An existing WordPress base was to be replaced by a modern, maintainable stack – faster, mobile-first and without the CMS overhead.
My role
Frontend design and implementation.
Solution
A generative frontend built with a vision model, a consistent design system, and an API-first, mobile-first architecture on a modern stack (React Router 7, Tailwind CSS).
Result
A modern, API-driven platform instead of WordPress – live at commodity-board.com. Lighthouse score up from 55 % (old site) to 100 % (new site).
Takeaways
WordPress successfully retired: a modern, API-first stack is more maintainable and faster than the overgrown CMS installation. Cleanly decoupling the frontend from the data source keeps the migration manageable.
