Case study

Alimran Medical Center

From legacy WordPress to a modern, open platform

When Alimran Medical Center came to us, it had 600 articles and years of content trapped in a slow, broken WordPress site. We delivered a working prototype in under three days, then extracted and cleaned the data and finished the full rebuild about a week later. The result: a fast, secure site fully under the center's control.

The new design

Fully responsive design with light and dark themes, built for speed and clarity in every detail.

The results

Performance
Pages open in under a second instead of 3 to 10. The site is cached on Cloudflare close to every visitor, so it stays fast even on slow connections.

The challenge

The old site (alimranmed.com) was slow and unstable, with no clear documentation, no reliable backups, and its data scattered across a poorly managed database. The center didn't even have full access to its own website's data.

The solution

We built a systematic extraction process: examined the legacy structure, extracted every article and comment, cleaned the data (standardized formats, removed duplicates, fixed broken links), then rebuilt on Astro and Cloudflare Workers.

✕Problems with the legacy site

  • Cluttered and confusing design
  • Unreadable and disorganized text
  • Random AI-generated images and broken CSS
  • Misaligned elements and a poor layout
  • Every page took 3 to 10 seconds and reloaded in full, even going back
  • Broken links, and many buttons didn't respond
  • The menu was broken on phones
  • Articles were just walls of text with no visual structure

✓New website features

  • Clean layout with direct messaging
  • High-quality images that highlight what matters
  • Articles rewritten with carefully extracted information
  • Comfortable, readable typography in Arabic and English
  • Advanced search to find any article instantly
  • A library to browse and discover content
  • AI-powered search (LLM integration)
  • Ready to connect to any AI application
  • Light and dark themes
  • Moves between pages without reloading; going back is instant

The process — five steps

  1. 1

    Audit

    Map where your systems, accounts, and data really are: devices, providers, legacy databases.

  2. 2

    Extract & clean

    Get your data out, remove duplicates, standardize formats, and fix images and links.

  3. 3

    Rebuild on open standards

    Build the site with Astro, store every article as Markdown, and give it a modern responsive design.

  4. 4

    Hand over the keys

    Accounts and domain in your name, the code repository in your account, full documentation — then we remove our access.

  5. 5

    Support, then freedom

    Free fixes and guidance for a set period, then pay-as-you-go, a monthly plan, or another provider — your choice.
