Modernizing a Learning Platform with Sanity, Next.js & Playwright

Achievable.me prepares students for SIE, GRE, and major professional certifications. We rebuilt their frontend in Next.js, migrated their outdated WordPress blog to Sanity CMS, and upgraded their test automation from Cypress to Playwright—resulting in a faster, more scalable, and more reliable learning ecosystem.

Introduction

Achievable.me had a rapidly growing user base, but their content and testing infrastructure wasn’t keeping up. Their WordPress blog limited flexibility, slowed down publishing, and caused SEO constraints. On the QA side, their Cypress-based automated tests had become slow, flaky, and difficult to maintain.

They needed:

A modern, mobile-responsive, SEO-friendly frontend
A headless CMS for flexible content modeling
Migration of all WordPress blog content to Sanity
Migration of Cypress test cases to Playwright for reliability and speed

The Challenge

A successful modernisation required overcoming several key challenges:

Transforming loosely structured WordPress content into Sanity’s modular schema
Rebuilding the entire frontend without disrupting existing SEO or live users
Rewriting Cypress tests dependent on custom plugins and deprecated functions
Ensuring Playwright tests ran smoothly in CI/CD pipelines
Managing URL redirects, metadata, and content mapping to preserve SEO standings

Our Approach

We modernized Achievable.me across three major pillars.

Next.js Frontend Rebuild

A fast, fully responsive, SEO-optimized frontend with improved page performance, structured metadata, and smoother user navigation.

Headless CMS Migration (WordPress → Sanity)

A structured migration pipeline that converted WordPress content into clean, reusable Sanity schemas—preserving SEO URLs, authors, tags, and media assets.
