The Challenge

The work required consistent, high-quality implementation in a regulated environment where site stability, performance, and reliability are essential. The challenge was to deliver frequent updates across WordPress properties with PHP and MySQL dependencies hosted on Azure, while minimizing regressions, maintaining release discipline, and supporting rapid turnaround for high-priority business requests.

“LPL Financial needed to execute a high volume of changes across business-critical websites that support advisor and investor experiences.”
