Nicolas Wirth is a naturopath whose business was suffering due to an outdated digital presence. His old website was no longer matching actual web standards. It was time to migrate to a modern solution to regain his professional edge.

The challenge: moving away from legacy PHP

The original website was built on an old PHP architecture. It had several critical issues:

• Ancient design: with an outdated and unresponsive design, the website was not looking professional anymore.
• Hard to maintain: it was difficult to update and keep secure, moreover that Nicolas doesn't hire a webmaster.
• Content locked: as a non-technical user, Nicolas couldn't edit his own content, making every small change a struggle.

My mission was to build a modern and sustainable website that would be easy to manage and built to last.

A modern design, backed by a powerful CMS

The transformation started with a fresh visual identity. Kaydrie designed a beautiful new brand and maquette that perfectly captured the natural and professional essence of Nicolas's practice.

Instead of just building a static site, I developed a fully flexible template. It includes localization support and powerful SEO tools right out of the box.

A website isn't just a place to introduce yourself; it's the way professionals make money. To ensure Nicolas could grow his business independently, I chose Strapi (a headless CMS). This allows him to manage every piece of text and image without touching a single line of code.

Performance; built to last

I used Nuxt 4 to ensure the site stays at the cutting edge of web technology. To achieve blazing fast speeds, I implemented Incremental Static Regeneration (ISR), cache optimization, and images auto-compression to be served as WEBP (an optimized image format for the web). This means the site stays updated automatically but still loads instantly for users, providing the best of both worlds: speed and fresh content.

A user-first and ethical approach

I believe that a great user experience includes respecting privacy and ensuring accessibility:

• Privacy-first: I replaced standard tracking with Umami, a privacy-focused analytics tool. For security, I used Altcha instead of Google reCAPTCHA, making the "not a robot" check simple and data-respectful.
• Full accessibility: the site achieved a perfect 100/100 Lighthouse accessibility score. It is fully navigable via keyboard and optimized for screen readers, ensuring that everyone can navigate the site.

And the result:

Special thanks to Nicolas for his trust, and to Kaydrie for the excellent design work.
