Legacy Website Modernization StudioModernization Studio
We rebuild outdated websites into modern, fast, secure platforms. 8-12 week delivery with fixed pricing.
IRPR is a legacy website modernization studio that rebuilds outdated websites using modern frameworks like Next.js, React, and Node.js. We replace slow, insecure legacy code with fast, maintainable platforms that load in under 2 seconds.
Every engagement ships a fully modernized website with a new frontend, optimized backend, and automated CI/CD pipeline. Timeline is 8-12 weeks. Fixed pricing starts at $80K for a typical site and goes up to $250K for enterprise platforms with HIPAA, PCI, or SOC 2 compliance.
We work with CTOs whose legacy sites crash under traffic, product managers stuck on a 10-year-old CMS that blocks new features, and founders who need their site to support a mobile-first user base. We also help compliance officers who must meet PCI-DSS or HIPAA requirements during the migration.

Why your business needs a legacy website modernization studio
Outdated websites cost you money every day through lost conversions, security risks, and slow performance.
A legacy website built on jQuery, old PHP, or a custom CMS from 2010 cannot support modern user expectations. Pages take 6-10 seconds to load. Mobile layouts break. Security patches are no longer available. Every day you wait, you lose visitors to faster competitors. IRPR has modernized over 200 websites across 50 countries, each one rebuilt with Next.js or React and deployed on AWS with automated CI/CD.
Modernization is not just a redesign. It includes migrating to a headless CMS, adding a CDN, implementing server-side rendering, and setting up monitoring with Sentry and Datadog. The result is a site that loads in under 2 seconds, scores 90+ on Lighthouse, and stays secure with automatic vulnerability scanning. Our clients see an average 40% increase in conversion rates after launch.
The difference between a generic dev shop and a legacy website modernization studio
Most agencies treat your project as a simple redesign. IRPR treats it as a full architecture overhaul with measurable outcomes.
Generic dev shops often quote hourly rates, use outdated tech stacks, and deliver a site that looks new but still has the same slow backend. They skip security audits, ignore SEO preservation, and leave you with no documentation or CI/CD pipeline. You end up paying more for a site that still breaks.
IRPR is a legacy website modernization studio that starts with a 2-week audit phase. We map your current architecture, identify performance bottlenecks, and create a migration plan that preserves SEO rankings and user sessions. Our fixed price covers the entire rebuild, including automated testing, deployment pipelines, and a 30-day post-launch support window.

- No security or compliance audit
- Same slow backend, new paint
- No SEO preservation plan
- Zero documentation or CI/CD
- No post-launch support
- Fixed price from $80K
- Full architecture overhaul

Our legacy website modernization process
We follow a structured 4-phase process to ensure your migration is smooth, fast, and risk-free.
Every project at IRPR goes through four phases: Audit, Architecture, Build, and Deploy. In the Audit phase (week 1-2), we analyze your current site, map all routes, and identify performance and security issues. We also crawl your SEO structure and document all 301 redirects needed.
In the Architecture phase (week 3-4), we design the new frontend and backend architecture, choose the tech stack, and set up the CI/CD pipeline. The Build phase (week 5-10) is where we write code, run automated tests, and conduct performance benchmarks. The Deploy phase (week 11-12) includes staging, final QA, and a zero-downtime cutover.
What ships with every legacy website modernization
You get a fully modernized website, not just a new design.
When you hire IRPR as your legacy website modernization studio, you own everything we build. Source code is in your GitHub repository from day one. We set up CI/CD pipelines on GitHub Actions, configure Sentry error tracking, and deploy to AWS with auto-scaling. You get a 30-day performance report showing Lighthouse scores, load times, and uptime metrics.
We also provide a migration playbook that documents every redirect, every database schema change, and every third-party integration. This means your internal team can maintain the site after launch without relying on us. Our average client sees a 50% reduction in hosting costs because we optimize for cloud efficiency.
- Source code in your GitHub repo
- CI/CD pipeline on GitHub Actions
- Sentry error tracking configured
- AWS deployment with auto-scaling
- CDN with CloudFront or Cloudflare

What we ship in this practice.
Healthcare portal modernization for a hospital network
IRPR rebuilt a legacy ASP.NET patient portal for a hospital network with 12 locations. We migrated to Next.js with a Node.js backend and integrated with Epic EHR via FHIR APIs. Page load time dropped from 9 seconds to 1.2 seconds. Patient login sessions increased by 35% in the first month. Tech stack: Next.js, Node.js, PostgreSQL, AWS, FHIR.
Ecommerce platform upgrade for a DTC brand
A direct-to-consumer brand with $20M annual revenue had a Magento 1 site that crashed during flash sales.

Tech stack: Next.js, Contentful, Stripe, AWS, CloudFront.
Fintech portal migration for a lending platform
A fintech startup needed to migrate their legacy PHP lending portal to a secure, PCI-DSS compliant platform. IRPR rebuilt the frontend in React and the backend in Node.js with a GraphQL API.

Tech stack: React, Node.js, GraphQL, PostgreSQL, Plaid, Stripe.
SaaS dashboard modernization for a marketing analytics company
A B2B SaaS company had a 10-year-old Ruby on Rails dashboard that was slow and hard to maintain.

Customer churn dropped by 18% after the upgrade. Tech stack: React, D3.js, AWS Lambda, DynamoDB, Datadog.
Real estate MLS portal upgrade for a brokerage
A real estate brokerage with 500 agents had a legacy MLS portal that did not work on mobile. IRPR rebuilt the portal in Next.js with a search API powered by Elasticsearch.

Media site migration for a news publisher
A regional news publisher with 2 million monthly visitors had a WordPress site that crashed during traffic spikes. IRPR migrated to a headless architecture with Next.js and Strapi CMS. We set up a CDN with Cloudflare and implemented server-side rendering for SEO. Page load time dropped from 6 seconds to 0.8 seconds. Ad revenue increased by 22% due to better Core Web Vitals scores. Tech stack: Next.js, Strapi, Cloudflare, AWS, Google Ad Manager.
Why teams hire us.
Fixed price, not hourly
Every legacy website modernization project gets a fixed quote after the 2-week audit phase. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices, no scope creep charges. You know the cost before we write a single line of code.
Senior engineers only
IRPR does not hire junior developers. Every engineer on your project has 8+ years of experience with modern web frameworks like Next.js, React, and Node.js. Our average engineer has shipped 10+ modernization projects.
SEO preservation guaranteed
We crawl your entire site before migration and map every URL. We implement 301 redirects, preserve meta tags, and maintain site structure so your Google rankings do not drop. Our clients see zero traffic loss after launch.
Compliance built in
We handle HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2 compliance as part of the standard build. We set up encryption at rest and in transit, access controls, audit logs, and vulnerability scanning. No separate compliance project needed.
Zero-downtime deployment
We use blue-green deployment on AWS to cut over from your old site to the new one with zero downtime. Users never see a maintenance page. We have done this for 200+ sites without a single failed migration.
30-day performance monitoring
After launch, IRPR monitors your site for 30 days using Datadog and Sentry. We track load times, error rates, and uptime. If anything breaks, we fix it within 4 hours. You get a final performance report with recommendations.
Idea → Roadmap → Product → Release.
