Rebuilding a Global Hardware Brand's Partner and Developer Portals

Challenge

A global hardware brand's partner and developer-facing portals ran on an aging PHP/Drupal stack that was slow to update, difficult to internationalize, and falling short on accessibility and SEO fundamentals for a global developer audience.

Approach

Rebuilt the portals on Next.js, adding internationalization and GeoIP-based localization so content served the right audience in the right language automatically. Brought the markup and interaction patterns up to WCAG accessibility standards and rebuilt the metadata/SEO layer for better discoverability, all while preserving the existing content the partner and developer communities relied on.

Impact

• —Migrated two production portals from PHP/Drupal to Next.js with no content loss
• —Added i18n and GeoIP localization for a global developer audience
• —Brought markup up to WCAG accessibility standards
• —Rebuilt SEO fundamentals (metadata, structured markup) for better discoverability
