Designing an AI-Powered Static Publishing System
In progress — pre-launch
- Problem
- The existing WordPress website carried an outdated "Digital Marketing Consultant & Trainer" positioning, legacy plugin overhead and a set of existing indexed URLs that needed to be preserved through a move to a faster, more modern platform built for AI-assisted publishing.
- Context
- This is Maneesh Jayachandran's own personal website, previously running on WordPress on MilesWeb shared hosting, with an existing history of blog content and indexed URLs to carry forward.
- Approach
- A phased migration: an audit phase to snapshot legacy content, crawl the live site, compare sitemaps and catalogue every existing URL, followed by a design phase defining a documented design system and reusable Astro component architecture before rebuilding each page.
- Work Performed
- Completed a full audit (site crawl, sitemap comparison, broken-link check, content snapshots and a written migration-decisions record). Defined a 2026 design system and component library in Astro. Migrated existing blog articles preserving their original wording. Rebuilt the homepage, About and Contact pages on the new static architecture, with this Work page next.
- Tools
- Astro, TypeScript, static HTML/CSS, Python-based crawling and auditing scripts, Google Search Console.
