The online media Agrozona has a strong history and a large audience. It is known as one of the most read media about agriculture and food industry in Bulgaria.
The challenge in front of us was to make website re-design, maintaining the colour scheme and overall feel, while modernising all elements and making the user experience more enjoyable.
Going into the project, we didn't realize a major problem hidden beneath the surface - the core of the site. It turned out that the media was too outdated core, extensions had not been updated for years, and all of this was hosted on a web server that was not suitable for the project.
We had to build a new web server (VPS) specifically designed for the media. You've probably already guessed that we had to create everything from scratch, and then a new challenge appeared - migration of all 45000+ articles from the old server to the new one.
Well, in the end we overcame all the challenges (we admit, it wasn't easy), and the media now has a new, modern, fast and nice design.
