The enterprise WordPress development team at Americaneagle.com partnered in the planning and successful replatform of McGuireWoods website solutions. Designers and data migration experts ensured a seamless transition. Design templates were created to essentially replicate the existing McGuireWoods website. At the same time, performance enhancements and design optimizations within WordPress were added to improve the new website’s speed and content management capabilities.

Data conversion to the new platform was greatly expedited by the talented development team. A custom-developed WordPress migration tool was built to dependably convert the opinionated data from the previous platform. This migration tool saved countless hours of implementation time as it also ensured A to Z data accuracy.

Site search within the previous solutions were slow to index website updates. The AI-enabled, next-generation site search capabilities from Algolia have been a game-changer for search performance. Algolia offers WordPress integration that is sophisticated and efficient. Comprehensive indexing updates now occur in real-time for the new website, nearly instantaneous.

The section of the McGuireWoods website that consistently receives the most traffic is their customized search for professionals and services. Website visitors utilize this search to find attorneys with desired expertise, experience, location, and more. A WordPress plug-in was intelligently customized for this specific search. With over 1,000 legal professionals employed by McGuireWoods, the data that drives this custom search requires very frequent editing to keep information up-to-date. The editing team at McGuireWoods has shared that record updates that used to take 10 minutes now take less than one minute, a 10x efficiency improvement.

Hosting services from our trusted solution partners at WP Engine now ensure website performance and security that consistently reflect the uncompromising standards for excellence at McGuireWoods. WP Engine emphasizes a fortified defense against cyber threats that includes daily backups, real time threat detection, immediate security patches, and more. The hosting environment is designed to scale seamlessly to accommodate both planned and unplanned spikes in traffic.

The new website solutions for McGuireWoods are now powered by WordPress. Overly complex and time consuming workflows of the previous platform have been eliminated. A logical site structure, intuitive organization of assets, and CMS training provided by Americaneagle.com now provides unprecedented independence, digital capability, and self-sufficiency for the McGuireWoods team.
