WordPress to Astro Migration
18 blog posts converted to Markdown, only the 148 media files actually in use kept out of 2,009, and 45 permanent redirects so no old link breaks.

01 / Context
The Problem
Grupo Bahía, one of the most important bands of Colombian Pacific music, had a WordPress 6.2 site built with the Divi theme: slow, hard to maintain and carrying over 2,000 media files, most of them unused. Its discography, its more than 30 years of history and its videos were scattered, and any redesign risked losing the search rankings of the old URLs.
02 / Approach
What We Are Building
A fast static site in Astro that keeps all the band’s content, presents its music and history with a visual identity inspired by the Pacific, and protects its presence on search engines during the migration.
What the platform offers
Discography & History
A timeline of 5 albums and 56 tracks with links to streaming platforms, a featured release page and 12 milestones from more than 30 years of music.
Technical SEO
Sitemap, RSS, canonical URLs, Open Graph and schema.org structured data for the band, its albums, events and blog posts.
Performance & Contact
YouTube videos that load only on click, a mobile-first design, a WhatsApp button and a rebuilt booking form for event organizers.
