Experienced Website Modernization ConsultantsModernization Consultants
We rebuild your legacy site on a modern stack in 8-12 weeks. Fixed price, senior engineers, full ownership.
IRPR is a team of experienced website modernization consultants. We take legacy sites built on old CMS platforms like Drupal 7, WordPress 4, or custom PHP and rebuild them on modern stacks like Next.js, Headless CMS (Contentful, Strapi), and cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP). Every project ships with CI/CD, automated testing, and performance monitoring.
A typical modernization project runs 8-12 weeks and costs between $80K and $250K. We handle compliance requirements including HIPAA for healthcare sites, PCI-DSS for ecommerce, and SOC 2 for SaaS platforms. You get a fixed price quote after the Roadmap phase (week 2) with no surprises.
We work with CTOs at companies running outdated platforms that can't scale. VP of Engineering at a fintech startup needing PCI-compliant frontend. Head of Digital at a media company migrating from a monolith to microservices. Director of IT at a hospital system requiring HIPAA-compliant patient portals.

Why hire experienced website modernization consultants
Outdated sites cost you money in lost revenue, security risks, and slow performance. Here is what we deliver.
A legacy website can lose 40% of visitors who wait more than 3 seconds to load. Our experienced website modernization consultants rebuild your site on a modern stack that loads in under 2 seconds. We use Next.js static generation, image optimization, and CDN delivery.
Security is another critical reason. Older platforms like Drupal 7 and PHP 5 have known vulnerabilities. We upgrade to Node.js 20 or Go 1.22, implement HTTPS with Let's Encrypt, and add Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules. Every project includes a security audit.
Generic dev shop vs experienced website modernization consultants
Not all agencies can handle the complexity of modernizing a legacy website. Here is the difference.
A generic dev shop might offer to 'update' your site by patching the old CMS or installing a new theme. That is not modernization. It is a band-aid that leaves you with the same technical debt and security holes.
IRPR treats each project as a full rebuild. We analyze your current stack, define the target architecture, and execute a phased migration with zero downtime. You get a modern, scalable, and secure website.

- No performance baseline or SLA
- Hourly billing with scope creep
- Junior developers or freelancers

- Full rebuild on Next.js or similar modern stack
- Performance baseline before and after (Lighthouse 90+)
- Fixed price after Roadmap phase (week 2)

- Full documentation and source code ownership
Our website modernization process
We follow a 4-phase process that delivers a production-ready website in 8-12 weeks.
Phase 1 is the Idea phase where we audit your existing site, identify bottlenecks, and define the target architecture. Phase 2 is the Roadmap where we produce a detailed plan, wireframes, and a fixed price quote.
Phase 3 is the Product build where our engineers code, test, and deploy the new site. Phase 4 is Release where we handle migration, go-live, and post-launch support. You get a working site at the end of each phase.
What ships with every modernization project
Every project delivers more than just a new website. Here is what you get.
You get full ownership of the source code, infrastructure as code, and all documentation. No black boxes, no proprietary tools, no vendor lock-in.
We also include a post-launch support period of 2 weeks to handle any issues. After that, you can choose a maintenance retainer or manage internally.
- Source code in your private GitHub repo
- CI/CD pipeline on GitHub Actions with auto-deploy
- Sentry error tracking and Datadog performance monitoring
- Full documentation: architecture, API, deployment, runbook
- SSL certificate via Let's Encrypt with auto-renewal
- Load testing report with k6 (5000 concurrent users tested)
- Accessibility audit (WCAG 2.1 AA compliance)
- SEO audit with structured data and meta tags
- Content migration script (all pages, images, users)
- Post-launch support for 2 weeks
