Project Overview

Sankowski needed a faster, more maintainable WordPress website that would be easier for their internal team to manage while delivering top-tier performance.

The existing site was built with Elementor, which limited editing flexibility and introduced unnecessary overhead affecting load times and Core Web Vitals.

We was brought in to rebuild the site using Gutenberg, focusing on performance, clean structure, and a better editorial experience.

The Challenge

  • Elementor-based setup impacting performance and maintainability
  • Slower page load times and suboptimal Core Web Vitals
  • Editing experience that didn’t scale well with content changes
  • Need to modernize the site without changing its visual identityndards

Our Solution

We led a full migration from Elementor to Gutenberg, rebuilding the site with a performance-first mindset.

What we delivered

  • Rebuilt the website using native Gutenberg blocks
  • Removed unnecessary front-end overhead introduced by the page builder
  • Implemented a clean, modular block system for easy content editing
  • Optimized assets, queries, and rendering for maximum performance
  • Improved maintainability and long-term scalability

The result is a WordPress setup that’s lighter, faster, and easier to manage.

Impact & Results

  • Page load time reduced to ~0.6 seconds
  • 99/100 PageSpeed score
  • Significantly improved Core Web Vitals
  • Faster, simpler content updates for editors
  • Cleaner codebase ready for future growth

Technology & Approach

  • WordPress with native Gutenberg architecture
  • Performance-focused front-end implementation
  • Minimal plugin footprint
  • Clean, maintainable codebase aligned with WordPress best practices
