Senior Website Modernization ServicesModernization Services
We rebuild legacy websites into fast, secure, scalable platforms. 8-12 week delivery with fixed pricing.
IRPR provides senior website modernization services for companies stuck on outdated platforms like Drupal 7, WordPress, or custom PHP. We rebuild using modern stacks like Next.js, React, and Node.js to improve performance, security, and developer velocity.
Every project ships in 8-12 weeks with a fixed price between $80K and $250K. We handle compliance for healthcare (HIPAA), fintech (PCI-DSS), and SaaS (SOC 2). You get a fully modernized site with CI/CD, automated testing, and cloud infrastructure.
We work with CTOs at mid-market companies who need to migrate off end-of-life platforms. We help product managers at SaaS firms who want to improve page load times and conversion rates. We support engineering leads at ecommerce brands who need PCI-compliant storefronts.

Why senior website modernization services matter
Legacy websites cost you money in maintenance, security patches, and lost conversions.
A site built on Drupal 7 or WordPress 4.x requires constant security updates. Each patch takes engineering time away from new features. IRPR migrates your site to a modern stack like Next.js with a headless CMS. You stop paying for plugin subscriptions and reduce hosting costs by 40%.
Modern sites load faster. A 1-second delay in page load reduces conversions by 7%. IRPR optimizes Core Web Vitals, implements CDN caching, and uses server-side rendering. Clients see a 30% improvement in bounce rate and a 15% lift in conversion rate after modernization.
Generic dev shop vs IRPR
Not all agencies deliver senior-level modernization. Here is the difference.
Generic dev shops assign junior developers who learn on your project. They use outdated patterns and leave technical debt. IRPR assigns senior engineers with 10+ years of experience. Every line of code is reviewed and tested.
Generic shops charge hourly and inflate timelines. IRPR gives a fixed price after a 2-week Roadmap phase. You know the cost and timeline before we write production code.
- Junior developers with 2-3 years experience
- Hourly billing with no cap
- No compliance knowledge (HIPAA, PCI-DSS)
- Manual deployments and no CI/CD
- No performance budget or Core Web Vitals target
- Code ownership unclear
- Senior engineers with 10+ years experience
- Fixed price after 2-week Roadmap phase
- HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2 compliance built in
- CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions and automated tests
- Performance budget with Lighthouse score above 90
- Full source code ownership
Our 4-phase modernization process
We follow a repeatable process to reduce risk and deliver on time.
Every project starts with a 2-week Roadmap phase. We audit your current site, define the target architecture, and produce a fixed-price proposal. No surprises.
After approval, we build the modernized site in 6-10 weeks. We deploy to a staging environment for your team to test. Then we cut over with zero downtime.
What ships with every modernization project
You get more than a new website. You get a complete delivery system.
Every project includes infrastructure as code, automated deployments, and monitoring. Your team can deploy changes in minutes, not days.
We also provide a performance report showing Lighthouse scores before and after. You get a security audit and compliance documentation.
- Source code in your GitHub or GitLab repo
- CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions or GitLab CI
- Automated end-to-end tests with Cypress
- Performance report with Lighthouse scores
- Security audit with OWASP Top 10 checks
- Infrastructure as code with Terraform or Pulumi
- Monitoring with Sentry and Datadog
- Documentation for architecture and deployment
- One year of bug fixes and security patches
What we ship in this practice.
Healthcare portal modernization
A regional hospital network needed to migrate from a legacy Drupal 7 patient portal to a HIPAA-compliant Next.js app. IRPR rebuilt the portal in 10 weeks. Patient login time dropped from 12 seconds to 2 seconds. Support tickets decreased by 40%. Tech stack: Next.js, Strapi, AWS, Auth0.
Fintech dashboard upgrade
A payment processing company had a jQuery-based admin dashboard that was slow and hard to maintain. IRPR migrated to React with a GraphQL API. Page load time improved from 8 seconds to 1.5 seconds. Development velocity increased by 3x. Tech stack: React, Apollo, Node.js, PostgreSQL.
Ecommerce storefront migration
A DTC brand running on Magento 1 needed to move to a modern stack before end-of-life. IRPR rebuilt the storefront with Next.js and Shopify's Storefront API. Conversion rate increased by 22%. Hosting costs dropped by 60%. Tech stack: Next.js, Shopify, Vercel, Stripe.
SaaS platform re-architecture
A B2B SaaS company had a monolithic Rails app that was hard to scale. IRPR split the frontend into micro-frontends using Module Federation. Deployment time went from 45 minutes to 5 minutes. Team velocity improved by 2x. Tech stack: React, Module Federation, AWS ECS, CloudFront.
Real estate MLS integration
A real estate brokerage needed to modernize their IDX website with MLS integration. IRPR built a Next.js site with real-time property search. Lead generation increased by 35%. Page load time improved from 6 seconds to 1.2 seconds. Tech stack: Next.js, GraphQL, AWS Lambda, RDS.
Media site performance overhaul
A news publisher with a WordPress site was losing readers due to slow load times. IRPR migrated to a static site with Next.js and a headless CMS. Lighthouse score went from 45 to 95. Ad revenue increased by 18% due to better viewability. Tech stack: Next.js, Contentful, Cloudflare, AWS S3.
