Spambrella

Turning a large legacy website into one clear, manageable platform.

Spambrella is a global email security provider and Proofpoint distributor. Its website serves several audiences at once: businesses comparing security services, partners looking for resources and existing customers searching for technical guidance.

The previous site had grown over many years. Valuable information was spread across hundreds of pages with inconsistent layouts, ageing content structures and links that were difficult to maintain. Replacing it meant protecting that useful content while improving the experience around it.

I rebuilt the website as a custom WordPress platform with a consistent visual system, reusable page layouts and a purpose-built knowledge base. The result is easier to navigate for customers and considerably easier for the internal team to update.

Preserving years of useful content without carrying the old problems forward.

A simple redesign would not have been enough. The existing site included service information, partner resources, articles, documentation and a large support library created in several different formats.

I moved and reorganised the content into reusable WordPress sections, repairing formatting, links, images and related resources as part of the process. Existing page addresses and search information were retained wherever possible so customers and search engines could continue finding established content.

Automated checks reviewed the rebuilt pages for broken routes, missing images, incorrect page titles and other common migration problems. This made a large content move more dependable and gave the new site a stronger foundation for future publishing.

A polished website also needs to perform behind the design.

The rebuild was tested for speed, accessibility, technical quality and search visibility—not just how it looks. A desktop PageSpeed Insights check on 30 September 2026 returned the following Lighthouse scores.

That level of performance helps pages feel responsive, supports search visibility and gives visitors a more dependable experience across a large content-led website.

Built for the people who use it and the team responsible for it.

The public website now behaves as one joined-up experience across desktop and mobile, with consistent navigation, forms, tables, calls to action and content layouts. Sales enquiries, subscription payments, analytics and customer communication tools continue to work within that experience.

Behind the scenes, the Spambrella team can assemble and update pages using familiar, reusable sections. The editor more closely reflects the finished page, which reduces guesswork and helps new content stay visually consistent.

The launch also included performance, accessibility and security work, plus tested backup and rollback processes. That combination matters on a large business website: the result needs to look better, but it also needs to remain reliable after launch.
