Migration & Performance Proof

Tomahawk: a cleaner migration with measurable lift

This project was about replacing legacy drag with a faster, sharper platform — one that improved mobile experience, tightened performance, and gave Tomahawk a more credible digital front-end without bloated migration theatre.

Project overview

Tomahawk came in with a site that was slowing down both the user experience and the internal ability to improve it. Legacy technology, weak mobile behaviour, and poor performance were working against the brand.

We approached the job as a full platform reset: migrate to modern front-end tooling, reduce friction on mobile, and turn the site into a faster, more trustworthy asset that could support future growth.

Challenges removed

The old platform was costing the business speed, flexibility, and trust signal.

Outdated Technology Stack

The previous build made changes slow, maintenance heavier, and modern commercial improvements harder to ship with confidence.

Poor Mobile Experience

The mobile experience created friction for visitors, which weakened trust and caused too many users to leave before engaging.

Performance Issues

Slow loading times and weak Core Web Vitals reduced discoverability and dragged down the overall quality signal.

Solutions applied

Each move was aimed at making the site faster, cleaner, and easier to grow.

Modern Platform Migration

We rebuilt the site on a cleaner React/Next.js architecture so the business had a faster, more maintainable foundation.

Mobile-First Reframe

The new interface was structured around mobile browsing and quicker comprehension, not just desktop aesthetics.

Performance Upgrade

Image optimisation, code-splitting, and front-end cleanup pushed the experience closer to the premium standard the brand needed.
