Actionable Books offers hand-written summaries of over 1,000 business books. As the platform grew, managing the vast amount of content on a custom WordPress site became cumbersome, and it was time for a full redesign to improve user experience and website performance.
The Challenge
The original site was built on a custom WordPress theme, making updates risky and often causing issues with stability. With more than 1,000 summaries, hundreds of author pages, and a growing user base, Actionable Books needed a modern solution to handle the scale while ensuring the integrity of their extensive library.
The Solution
Our team took on the challenge of overhauling the site by first scraping every page and storing the data in an Airtable database. This allowed us to organize the content more efficiently and implement multi-reference CMS items to maintain the rich structure of the site. We then rebuilt the front-end to ensure faster load times, cleaner design, and scalability for future growth.
The Results
- 70% Faster Load Times: The new website delivers a significantly improved user experience with faster load speeds.
- Streamlined Content Management: Using Airtable for content organization allows for easy updates and scalability as the platform grows.
- Future-Proof Design: The new site is built to accommodate further growth without the risk of instability.
