Let’s discuss how we can deliver the same results for your business.
Lisa D. Foster needed a modern website without sacrificing the search visibility and conversion infrastructure that had already been established on the existing site.
The website was running on an aging Allegiant Pro / CPOThemes setup with technical and structural issues that made the platform more difficult to maintain and created unnecessary SEO complexity.
The key challenges included:
The rebuild also needed to preserve the client’s existing conversion paths, including the Leadership Skills Audit, Calendly booking, contact forms, and signup flows.
The objective was to create a cleaner, easier-to-manage Elementor website while protecting existing SEO equity and keeping the established conversion journey intact.
We used a structured five-milestone process combining website redesign, WordPress development, technical SEO, redirect management, and controlled production deployment.
Before beginning the redesign, we audited the existing website structure and identified which elements needed to be:
The audit covered:
A specific URL and redirect strategy was established before development began to minimize the risk of losing existing search equity during the rebuild.
The new website was built on Hello Elementor with a custom child theme and Elementor Pro.
We rebuilt the website’s core visual framework, including:
The homepage conversion flow was carefully rebuilt without changing the established destination of the client’s primary CTAs.
The three homepage CTAs continued directing users to the Leadership Skills Audit, ensuring the existing conversion journey remained intact rather than being unnecessarily redesigned.
The next phase focused on rebuilding the primary pages and coaching content within the new Elementor architecture.
We rebuilt:
The existing /portfolio/ URLs were preserved for the service pages to protect their established search paths.
The Contact page retained the existing Forminator and Calendly functionality, ensuring visitors could continue to submit inquiries and schedule coaching sessions.
A major part of the project involved migrating the website without unnecessarily changing its existing SEO structure.
We created new blog templates while keeping the existing blog post permalinks intact across the site’s approximately 300 blog posts.
We also implemented the approved 301 redirect strategy, including redirects for:
To address pagination-related crawl noise, we implemented a template-level noindex, follow strategy for archive pages 2 and beyond.
Legacy Allegiant and CPO dependencies were also removed from the rebuild path, allowing the new Elementor architecture to operate independently from the previous theme system.
Rather than rebuilding directly on the live website, the new platform was developed and tested in a staging environment.
Before production deployment, we validated:
A manual production backup of both files and database was created before deployment.
The website was then moved from Bluehost staging to production and subjected to post-launch verification.
After deployment, we addressed staging remnants and production configuration issues involving:
This provided a controlled launch while maintaining a rollback point if required.
Modernized the website architecture and rebuilt the core pages using Elementor Pro.
Preserved important permanent URLs, including the existing blog and portfolio structures.
Implemented approved redirects to consolidate legacy and duplicate URL patterns.
Added noindex, follow handling for archive pages beyond the first page to reduce unnecessary crawl noise.
Existing Leadership Skills Audit CTAs, Calendly booking, contact forms, and signup flows remained functional.
Configured AIOSEO, robots directives, sitemap structure, and URL handling for the new platform.
Completed a controlled deployment with production backup, QA, and post-launch verification.
Confirmed GA4 tracking was live following the production launch.
The completed project transformed Lisa D. Foster’s website from a legacy WordPress theme environment into a modern Elementor-based platform while preserving the important SEO and conversion infrastructure of the existing site.
The website now uses clean Elementor layouts across the homepage and primary coaching pages, providing a more modern presentation and a platform that is easier to maintain.
Existing permanent URLs were retained wherever possible, while duplicate portfolio and service URL structures were consolidated through approved 301 redirects.
The Leadership Skills Audit CTAs, Calendly booking system, contact forms, and signup flows were tested and verified after the production launch.
Legacy theme dependencies were removed from the rebuild path, while pagination and robots configurations were cleaned up to provide a more controlled technical SEO foundation.
The website was developed and validated on staging, backed up before deployment, moved to production, and then manually verified to ensure critical functionality and SEO configurations remained intact.
The production website has an accessible XML sitemap and the required indexing configuration for continued search engine crawling and monitoring.
