02The work

Modernising without breaking what already worked.

The portal had been publishing for twelve years and had an audience, an archive and search rankings. The job was to bring it up to date inside and out, and to wire it to Snowy's data.

Redesign and modernisation

The whole portal brought up to date —look, navigation and structure— without losing the archive or the search positions it already held.

A custom plugin

A WordPress plugin of my own that pulls Snowy's data into the portal —stations, reservoirs, webcams— instead of pasting it by hand into every post.

Performance and mobile

Core Web Vitals, images, caching and comfortable reading on a phone, which is where almost all the traffic comes from.

03The track record

Twelve years publishing before a line of code changed.

This is not a project you launch: it already had an audience, an archive and search rankings when I arrived. That changes the engagement entirely, because every change lands on something that already works.

    The project starts

    With 130+ archive pages and half a million visits already banked.

  3. Today

    Performance, SEO and UX

    The work is sustaining and improving what already has an audience.

04Responsibility

A project where SEO and the mobile experience have direct impact.

LaRiojaMeteo combines traffic, content, organic visibility and continuous maintenance.

Architecture and technical maintenance of the site.

SEO work to improve rankings and organic traffic.

Multimedia content management, performance and mobile adaptation.

Traffic analysis and continuous improvement of the user experience.

05Content

A portal with editorial depth and real-time data.

The portal works as a local weather archive: analysis, episodes, phenomena, guides, webcams, stations and community.

  • Forecasts for La Rioja and Logroño
  • Weather analysis, snowfall, rainfall and reservoirs
  • Real time, Snowy stations and webcams
  • News, astronomy, guides and the weather-enthusiast community

A content portal that has to be fast.

On WordPress, with a plugin of my own for the Snowy data and the rest of the work spent making what already exists load fast, read well on a phone and get found on Google.
