Introduction

Strengthening Code Wizards’ Brand with a Dynamic WordPress Website

Filter partnered with Code Wizards to create a modern WordPress site that better reflected their growth and ambitions.

The Challenge

Code Wizards’ rebrand represented a pivotal moment of transformation, aligned with a domain change designed to reinforce their online presence. However, the transition carried SEO risks, including potential loss of rankings, backlinks, and indexed pages.
