The challenge

Fernway had hundreds of great trip reports buried under a 2014 theme. Rankings were sliding, the editors were afraid of breaking the site, and nobody could find the tours from the stories.

What we did

  1. 01

    Keep every ranking

    A full redirect map and content audit before a single page moved.

  2. 02

    Stories that sell trips

    Every trip report now links to the tour it describes, with dates and prices beside it.

  3. 03

    An editor that can’t break

    Custom blocks in WordPress so the team edits content, not layout.

“We were terrified of losing our search traffic. We gained a lot of it instead, and our editors finally enjoy using the site.”
