We rebuild legacy websites into fast, secure, scalable platforms. 200+ projects shipped in 50+ countries with fixed pricing and senior engineers.
IRPR is one of the top website modernization consultants. We take outdated sites built on WordPress, Drupal, or custom PHP and rebuild them with modern stacks like Next.js, React, and Node.js. Our team of senior engineers handles everything from frontend redesign to cloud migration on AWS or GCP.
Every project follows our Idea-Roadmap-Product-Release framework. The Roadmap phase (week 2) delivers a fixed quote and a clear timeline typically 8-12 weeks for an MVP. Pricing ranges from $80K to $250K depending on scope and compliance needs (HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2). We have shipped over 200 products across 50 countries with a 98% on-time record.
We work with CTOs at mid-market companies who need to modernize a legacy customer-facing site before it loses market share. We also partner with product owners at SaaS firms who want to migrate from a monolithic app to a headless architecture. Digital agencies hire us when they need white-label engineering capacity for a complex rebuild.
Types of software we ship.
Legacy website migration
Move from WordPress or Drupal to a headless CMS like Contentful or Strapi with a Next.js frontend. Full data migration and zero downtime.

Why website modernization matters now
A slow or outdated website costs you visitors, conversions, and revenue every day.
Google uses Core Web Vitals as a ranking factor since 2021. Sites that score below 50 on Lighthouse lose 20% of organic traffic on average. Our audits show that most legacy WordPress sites load in 4-6 seconds, while modern Next.js sites load in under 1.5 seconds. That difference directly impacts bounce rate and conversion.
Security is another driver. Old platforms like Drupal 7 (end of life November 2023) or custom PHP sites with no updates are easy targets for breaches. IRPR rebuilds with modern frameworks that receive regular security patches. We also implement HTTPS, CSP headers, and input sanitization by default.
Generic dev shops vs top website modernization consultants
Not every agency can handle a complex modernization project. Here is the difference.
Many generic dev shops build new sites from scratch but lack experience with legacy code, data migration, and compliance. They often use outdated stacks or oversimplify the project scope, leading to delays and cost overruns.
IRPR has senior engineers who have worked with 200+ products across healthcare, fintech, ecommerce, and SaaS. We follow a fixed-price model with a detailed Roadmap phase that eliminates surprises. Every project includes a CI/CD pipeline, automated testing, and performance monitoring.
- Uses hourly billing with no cap
- Starts coding without a detailed Roadmap
- No compliance knowledge (HIPAA, PCI-DSS)
- Delivers code without tests or CI/CD
- No post-launch performance monitoring
- Junior or offshore developers on your project
- Fixed price quoted in week 2
- Roadmap phase defines scope and timeline
- HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2 compliance built in
- Full test suite and CI/CD pipeline on GitHub Actions
- Sentry and Datadog monitoring from day one
- Senior engineers only, no junior staff
Our website modernization process
We follow a proven 4-phase framework that de-risks every project.
Every engagement starts with a discovery call to understand your current stack, pain points, and business goals. We then move into the Roadmap phase where we audit your existing code, define the target architecture, and produce a fixed-price quote.
The Product phase is where we build the modernized site iteratively, with weekly demos and continuous deployment. The Release phase includes load testing, security audit, and a cutover plan with zero downtime.
What ships with every website modernization project
You get more than a new website. Every deliverable is production-ready and fully documented.
We do not hand over a zip file and walk away. Every project includes the full source code, infrastructure as code, and a runbook for your team. You own everything from day one.
Our standard deliverables ensure your team can maintain and extend the site without relying on IRPR. We use industry-standard tools that your engineers already know.
- Source code in your private GitHub repo
- CI/CD pipeline on GitHub Actions with automated tests
- Infrastructure as code using Terraform or Pulumi
- Staging and production environments on AWS or GCP
- Sentry error tracking and Datadog performance monitoring
- Full test suite (unit, integration, end-to-end with Cypress)
- Architecture documentation and runbook
- Security audit report (OWASP top 10)
- Load test results (k6 or Artillery)
- 30-day post-launch support and bug fixes
What we ship in this practice.
Legacy WordPress site rebuild for a healthcare provider
A hospital network had a WordPress site with 5000+ pages that took 5 seconds to load. IRPR rebuilt it with Next.js and Contentful, achieving a 1.2 second load time and 92 Lighthouse score. The site is HIPAA compliant with encrypted patient data forms. Tech stack: Next.js, Contentful, AWS EC2, PostgreSQL.
Ecommerce migration from Magento to Shopify Plus
A fashion retailer with 10K SKUs suffered from slow checkout and frequent downtime. IRPR migrated them to Shopify Plus with a custom React storefront and Stripe integration. Checkout time dropped from 8 seconds to 2 seconds, and revenue grew 25% in 3 months. Tech stack: React, Shopify Plus, Stripe, Cloudflare.
SaaS dashboard modernization for a fintech startup
A fintech company had an AngularJS dashboard that crashed under 500 concurrent users. IRPR rewrote it in React with real-time WebSocket updates and a GraphQL backend. The new dashboard handles 5000 concurrent users and reduced page load time by 70%. Tech stack: React, Apollo, GraphQL, PostgreSQL, AWS Fargate.
Headless CMS implementation for a media company
A news publisher with 2M monthly visitors wanted to deliver content to web, mobile, and smart TVs. IRPR implemented Strapi as a headless CMS with a Next.js frontend. Content updates now appear across all channels in under 30 seconds. Tech stack: Strapi, Next.js, AWS CloudFront, Redis.
Performance optimization for a real estate platform
A real estate MLS platform had a 4.5 second load time on mobile, losing 40% of leads. IRPR optimized images with WebP, implemented lazy loading, and moved to a CDN. Load time dropped to 1.8 seconds and lead conversion increased by 35%. Tech stack: React, Cloudflare, ImageKit, AWS S3.
Accessibility upgrade for an edtech platform
A university's online learning platform was not WCAG 2.1 AA compliant, risking federal funding. IRPR retrofitted the React app with proper ARIA labels, keyboard navigation, and screen reader support. The platform passed audit and maintained a 98% uptime. Tech stack: React, Node.js, MongoDB, AWS Lambda.
Why teams hire us.
Fixed price, not hourly
Every project gets a fixed quote in the Roadmap phase (week 2). No hourly billing, no surprise invoices, no scope creep charges. You know the total cost before we write a line of code.
Senior engineers only
IRPR does not hire juniors or outsource to low-cost regions. Every engineer has 8+ years of experience and has shipped at least 5 production products. You talk directly to the person writing your code.
Compliance built in from day one
We have built HIPAA-compliant platforms for healthcare, PCI-DSS for ecommerce, and SOC 2 for SaaS. Compliance is not an afterthought it is part of our architecture from the first commit.
200+ products shipped, 50+ countries
Our team has delivered over 200 products across 50 countries. We have seen every type of legacy code, every migration challenge, and every compliance requirement. You get that experience on your project.
8-12 week MVPs with weekly demos
We ship fast. Most modernizations go live in 8-12 weeks. You see progress every week in a demo environment, so there are no surprises at the end.
Full ownership with no lock-in
You own the source code, the infrastructure, and the domain from day one. We use standard tools (Next.js, React, Node.js, AWS) so your team can maintain the site without IRPR.
Idea → Roadmap → Product → Release.
Every engagement runs through the same four-stage pipeline. Predictable by design.
