The challenge

Lumen API needed a site that was faster, easier to edit and easier to find. A searchable docs site with versioned guides, code samples and a status page.

What we did

  • Audited content, metadata and performance
  • Rebuilt pages from a small set of reusable blocks
  • Set up review and approval so only checked content goes live
  • Added structured data, redirects and a sitemap

Results

Measured over the first 90 days after launch.
