# Anudan Website Rebuild Project

## Overview

Anudan's website was migrated onto Asymmetric's WP Engine hosting environment but was built on a non-standard theme and page builder. Rather than attempt to maintain a site outside the agency's standard tech stack, the decision was made to rebuild the site at no cost to the client in order to standardize it and ensure long-term maintainability.

This decision was made during the [[wiki/meetings/2026-01-29-team-stand-up|2026-01-29 Team Stand Up]] led by Mark Hope.

## Decision

**Rebuild the site at no cost to Anudan**, using Asymmetric's standard theme and page builder.

### Rationale

- The existing site uses a different theme and builder than the agency standard, making it difficult to guarantee quality support and maintenance.
- Hosting sites on non-standard stacks creates unpredictable support overhead and risk.
- If Anudan is to become a long-term client, the site must be on the standard stack from the outset.
- If Anudan does not commit to becoming a client, they should be directed to find alternative hosting.

> "If she's willing to become a client, we're going to rebuild your site at our expense. We're not going to charge you anything… so that we can guarantee that it works and it's maintainable." — Mark Hope

## Scope & Approach

- Full site rebuild using Asymmetric's standard WordPress theme and page builder
- Work to begin in a **new, temporary staging environment** spun up from scratch (not from the existing migrated site)
- Once complete, push staging to production and delete the staging environment per the [[wiki/knowledge/devops/staging-push-delete-workflow|staging-push-delete workflow]]
- No plugins outside the approved standard set should be added without Mark's approval

## Action Items

| Owner | Action | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Sebastian | Notify Anudan of the free rebuild offer and confirm client commitment | Open |
| Ishak | Begin rebuild in a new staging environment | Open |
| Mark | Oversee and approve final push to production | Pending |

## Related Decisions & Context

- This project is a direct consequence of the broader [[wiki/knowledge/devops/backend-management-protocols|backend management protocols]] established on 2026-01-29, which require all hosted sites to conform to the standard tech stack.
- The rebuild follows the mandatory **spin up → build → push → delete** staging workflow. See [[wiki/knowledge/devops/staging-push-delete-workflow|Staging Push-Delete Workflow]].
- No direct admin users should be created on the site; access is managed via WP Engine SSO.

## Open Questions

- Has Anudan confirmed intent to become a long-term client? *(Sebastian to confirm)*
- If Anudan declines, what is the offboarding/migration timeline?
