A Joomla-to-WordPress rebuild, with a paywall and ad system.
We delivered an engaging homepage and structured pages for articles, magazines, conferences, videos, and webinars, a user account system with registration, login, profiles, and subscription tracking, and a paywall that unlocks premium content after a set period. An event and webinar sign-up system, more than 100 configurable ad positions, a migration of over 200,000 articles from Joomla to WordPress with URL redirects preserving SEO, and payment and newsletter integration complete it. Built on WordPress with Sage.
