Website case studies

Every case study here comes from a real Released Solutions project: live websites we rebuilt, migrated, rescued and still support. They are a small sample of our work, each chosen because it shows a different problem and the measured result of fixing it.

Seminole Theatre: rebuilding a decade-old site for the AI search era

A ten-year-old Joomla site moved to WordPress without losing a URL. It now earns 30% more organic clicks from half as many impressions, ranks 8.2 positions higher year over year, and is cited by ChatGPT.

From Base44 to WordPress: what a vibe-coded site really costs

A new Dallas studio built her first site on an AI app builder, then found that exporting her own code sat two tiers above the plan she could afford. Rebuilt in WordPress in a week at full design parity.

A job board was running a national school directory

8,829 schools stored as job listings across 1.55 million metadata rows. Rebuilt on purpose-built tables — and the multi-year history that unlocked became the paid subscription tier.

Real projects, not portfolio pieces

A portfolio shows what a website looks like. A case study shows what it changed. Each project above describes the problem as we found it, what we kept and what we replaced, and the result as measured on the live site — including the numbers we chose not to claim when they would not survive scrutiny.

These are not the whole of our work. Released Solutions has supported some clients for more than a decade, and most of what we do is the steady website maintenance and support that keeps a site secure, current and earning its place in search. Some of our engineering is delivered white-label through agency partners, and that work stays under their name. More case studies will be added as projects conclude and clients agree to be featured.

What these projects have in common

Four different organisations, four different starting platforms, and the same four decisions made each time.

Keep what already works

Every site here held years of content, links and search history. A WordPress website rebuild should carry that equity forward, not start from zero — one migration moved a decade of pages without losing a single inbound link.

Build only what nothing else does

Calendars, email and payments are solved problems, so we adopt proven tools. Custom WordPress development is reserved for what is genuinely specific to the business: a scoring model, a directory, a booking flow, a subscription tier.

Leave the owner in control

A site its owner cannot update is a liability. Each project ends with publishing reduced to a few plain steps, and with the business owning its code, its content and its data outright.

Measure honestly

We report matched before-and-after windows, name what changed, and leave out any figure a campaign or a tracking change could have inflated. Visibility in AI answers now matters alongside rankings, so we measure both — see SEO and AEO for small businesses.

The services behind these results

Each case study draws on one or more of the same core services, available to small businesses across Miami, South Florida and beyond.

Website design and development

WordPress rebuilds, platform migrations from Joomla, Base44 and other builders, and custom plugins where off-the-shelf tools fall short.

Website maintenance, support and optimization

Ongoing website support, security, updates and optimization, so a site keeps performing long after launch day.

Online presence management

Search, Google Business Profile, email and listings managed together, so every place a customer finds you tells the same story.

AI-managed online presence

Your website paired with an AI coworker that keeps content, updates and optimization moving between our visits.

Frequently asked questions

Are these real client projects?

Yes. Every case study on this page is a real Released Solutions engagement on a live website you can visit, and each one links to the site itself. The numbers come from the sites' own data, measured with the same method before and after the work.

Is this all of your work?

No. These four are a small sample, chosen because each one shows a different kind of problem. Much of what we do is ongoing website maintenance and support that never becomes a headline, and some of it is delivered white-label through agency partners, where the work cannot be published under our name.

Do you only work with WordPress?

Most of our builds finish on WordPress, because it gives a business ownership of its site and the widest pool of help. We regularly move sites onto it from other platforms, including Joomla and AI app builders such as Base44.

Do you offer ongoing website maintenance and support?

Yes. Website maintenance, support and optimization is the core of how we work. One of the sites on this page has been supported by Released Solutions for more than a decade.

Can you help a small business with online presence management?

Yes. Online presence management covers the website plus everything that shapes how a business is found: search, Google Business Profile, email, and the listings and answers that AI tools draw on.

How do I start?

Start with a conversation about where your site is today. There is no obligation, and you will come away knowing what is worth fixing first.
