Project Overview

Client: Landesign and Landesign PLUS

Industry: Landscaping and Outdoor Services

Project Type: CMS Migration & Website Rebuild

Platform: WordPress

Challenges

Landesign and Landesign PLUS were previously hosted on Scorpion CMS, a proprietary platform that limited their flexibility and growth potential. They faced several issues:

• Difficulty managing and updating content independently.
• Performance limitations and lack of customization options.
• Limited control over SEO and search visibility.
• High dependency on Scorpion’s closed ecosystem, increasing long-term costs.

Our goal was to execute a seamless migration to WordPress while preserving the existing website’s design and functionality and positioning the site for long-term SEO success.

Why Clients Are Leaving Scorpion for WordPress

Many clients using Scorpion CMS face limitations that hinder business growth:

• Lack of Customization: Scorpion locks clients into rigid design templates and limited back-end control.
• High Costs: Clients pay ongoing fees without true ownership of their website.
• SEO Limitations: Scorpion’s closed structure prevents full SEO optimization.
• Scalability Issues: Expanding services, adding new functionality, or scaling content is restricted.

By migrating to WordPress, Landesign and Landesign PLUS gained the ability to control their site, improve search performance, and reduce operational costs.
