Co-Op Villages

Co-Op Villages publishes detailed plans for self-sufficient communities that house, feed and care for up to 500 people. The material had grown into a heavy Elementor/WordPress site with long, tab-stuffed pages that were slow and hard to update. I migrated every page, image, PDF and video into Payload CMS on a Next.js front end hosted on my own server, keeping the content’s structure (tabs, accordions, slideshows) while making each section editable in a clean admin. I added full-site search with highlighted results, a built-in PDF viewer, and a contact form that saves every message and emails it through my own mail server.
