Commodity Board – WordPress replaced, Lighthouse at 100

Solid frontend craft in an enterprise context: an overgrown WordPress base replaced by a modern, API-first stack.

Commodity Board – WordPress replaced, Lighthouse at 100

An overgrown WordPress base needed to be replaced by a modern, maintainable stack – faster, mobile-first and without the CMS overhead. Frontend design and implementation were entirely mine.

Tech stack: React Router 7 · Tailwind CSS · Gemini (vision) · API-first

A generative frontend

A multimodal vision model (Gemini) turns design mockups directly into components, backed by a consistent design system and an API-first, mobile-first architecture on a modern stack: React Router 7, Tailwind CSS.

The result

Instead of WordPress, a modern, API-driven platform now runs live at commodity-board.com – the Lighthouse score climbed from 55 % (old site) to 100 % (new site).

What I took away from it

A modern, API-first stack is more maintainable and faster than an overgrown CMS installation. Cleanly decoupling the frontend from the data source keeps a migration like this manageable.
