The Challenge
Kaufman & Canoles, a prominent Virginia law firm with more than 120 attorneys, relied on an outdated Plone CMS. Slow page loads, display glitches, and a cumbersome update process left marketing staff dependent on developers for every edit. When the previous host could no longer maintain the site, the firm needed a partner who could stabilize performance immediately and chart a path to a modern rebuild.
The Solution
TechArk took over hosting, provisioning dedicated development and staging servers to resolve issues without risking production downtime. After clearing the support backlog, we rebuilt the site on a modern WordPress framework that mirrors the original design but delivers faster load times and intuitive editing. Custom templates let staff update attorney bios, practice areas, and publications in minutes, and a detailed migration plan preserved every URL, PDF, and SEO asset.
