Challenge

Meister approached us with the goal of revamping the website for their core product, MeisterTask. They faced several challenges with their existing web infrastructure:

  1. Limited control over their website due to accumulated tech debt

  2. Ineffective leverage of their most valuable marketing property

  3. Multi-domain and multi-CMS setup causing complexity and inefficiency

  4. Need for a platform to support Product-Led Growth (PLG) and Product-Led Sales (PLS) motions

  5. Requirement to comply with the Accessibility Act 2025

Their specific objectives for the project were:

  1. Create a brand new website for MeisterTask

  2. Migrate web content from WordPress to Storyblok headless CMS

  3. Enable the Meister team to work efficiently with the new CMS within a short timeframe (3-4 months)

  4. Optimize their marketing funnel to increase signup and conversion rates

  5. Increase speed to market for new commercial initiatives

  6. Create a scalable platform for top, middle, and bottom-of-funnel content
