How we transformed obstacles into opportunities
The Challenge
Large WordPress site with 80+ blog posts and 50+ pages requiring complete migration

Replaced Zapier with a custom Cloudflare Pages Function that connects ActiveCampaign webhooks directly to the Zoom API with dynamic date-based tagging
Created custom Claude Code skills for content management, enabling the team to create and edit pages independently
Implemented a comprehensive redirect plan covering 261 URLs with an automated script to verify URL preservation
Converted client HTML designs into a modular Astro component architecture with Tailwind CSS
