WordPress constrained VentureBeat’s ability to innovate, leading to inefficiencies and rising costs. Evrone migrated 130,000+ articles to a headless Contentful CMS, creating custom content models to support editorial flexibility while maintaining structure and metadata. Automated scripts handled bulk content transfer, and manual review ensured accuracy, formatting, and SEO preservation. A hybrid storage approach reduced expenses by storing older content externally while keeping recent articles directly editable. Alongside the migration, a modern design refresh improved readability and credibility, and performance optimizations reduced API calls by up to 50%.
The project delivered a scalable, cost-efficient platform with streamlined editorial workflows, enabling VentureBeat to respond quickly to audience needs, launch new features, and maintain a consistent user experience while safeguarding two decades of digital content.
