A corporate site that actually gets used — 3x engagement lift
A consulting firm had a static WordPress brochure site. They wanted a client portal with gated access to 500+ research deliverables, natural language search, and CRM integration — without leaving WordPress.
Three custom plugins: members-only portal with HubSpot-synced access control, AI search via a Python microservice (vector embeddings + natural language queries), and custom Gutenberg blocks for interactive research content.
WordPress stayed as CMS (team publishes 3-5 pieces/week). AI search in a separate FastAPI service with pgvector in PostgreSQL. Gutenberg blocks built with React via the block.json API for drag-and-drop publishing.
3x engagement lift in two months. Session duration from 1.5 to 7 minutes. AI search handles 200+ daily queries at 92% relevance. Content publishing 40% faster. Three enterprise renewals cited the portal specifically.
