Rebuilding a landing page from heavy Divi into a lightweight, bespoke WordPress plugin.
Challenge
The original landing ran on Divi โ lots of unused code, slow loading, heavy video on WP hosting and limited control over the look.
Solution
We wrote the site from scratch as a lightweight WordPress plugin. Video on Bunny Stream (CDN), and the key sections โ the "on a phone" hero and the platform slider โ as custom components.
What the walkthrough shows
Starting point
This is how the site looked when we found it at the client โ built on the Divi page builder. Heavy, slower and hard to maintain. This is our "before". Click "Next" to see the result.
Result: the new site
This is the version we built from scratch as a lightweight, bespoke WordPress plugin. Same address, different quality and performance. In the following steps the guide will scroll the page for you and highlight specific solutions.
- Bespoke component
"On a phone" video in the hero
The welcome section: a clip played inline inside a phone mockup. Hand-built, not a marketplace ready-made โ full control over behaviour and look.
- Interaction
Platform slider with video
Instagram, TikTok, Reddit and more โ each tab has its own clip, lazy-loaded, with a branded tile while it loads. Switching without reloads.
- Performance / CDN
Video via Bunny Stream
We moved the video assets to a CDN (Bunny Stream) instead of keeping them on WordPress hosting. The site stays light, and the clips serve quickly and reliably even under traffic.
- Architecture
The whole site as a WP plugin
Instead of Divi โ a single bespoke plugin. Less code, faster loading, versioning and a changelog, no dependency on a page builder. Easy to maintain and extend.
