Summary

The Marqeta marketing leadership team transitioned from a multi-site WordPress setup to Next.js and Netlify to improve web stack agility. With the help of experienced web developer Sam Bennett as tech lead and eng manager, they implemented a composable architecture, design system, and routing layer using Next.js with Netlify's redirects. This allowed for staged migrations of various website sections, resulting in improved performance (`30%+ better` core web vitals), increased developer efficiency, and faster publishing times (`from 1-2 weeks to a few clicks`). The new setup enabled the team to launch multiple product suites, platform pages, solutions pages, and a resource center on the new stack, with Algolia search.
