Maintained a legacy Hugo site and improved its UI

Situation. There was a legacy website built on Hugo — a static‑site generator — running alongside the company’s main product, an asset‑management system. The website was the old, established thing; the product was where the real value sat.

Task. Keeping the site healthy while also improving the product’s experience was the remit.

Action. The Hugo static site was maintained and enhanced — kept current and working — while UI/UX improvements and feedback fed into the primary asset‑management product at the same time. Splitting attention between a legacy site and the flagship product is mostly about not letting the old thing rot while you’re focused on the new one; both represent the company to someone, so both had to be kept decent.

Result. The website stayed current instead of quietly ageing, and the main product’s usability improved through steady, informed refinement — the kind that comes from actually using and thinking about the thing rather than redesigning it in one big swing.
