AutiPocket Case Study
How we rebuilt AutiPocket's website from WordPress to a modern, fast headless stack with Next.js and Sanity CMS, partnering with Wunderdog.
Overview
AutiPocket is a free workplace support app for neurodivergent employees, co-founded by Rosie Weldon. The app provides practical, accessible support designed from lived experience, including 1-to-1 helper chat, structured community features, and calming mini games.
The company needed a website that could match the quality and care of their product. They came to us to rebuild their site from a slow, basic self-built WordPress installation into something fast, secure, and capable of selling the app effectively.

The Challenge
AutiPocket had a self-built WordPress site that was limiting them. It was slow, lacked brand coherence, and did not do justice to the quality of their product or the mission behind it. The site could not be updated easily, and it was not positioned to convert visitors into users or inquiries.
For a startup like this, a slow website and weak brand presence directly impact user acquisition and credibility. Every second of load time matters. Every visual detail shapes perception.
Our Approach
We partnered with Wunderdog, a brilliant creative agency, who delivered exceptional work on content strategy and visual design. Together, we built a modern, fast website using a headless architecture with Next.js and Sanity CMS, deployed on Vercel.
This is a fundamentally different approach to WordPress. Instead of a monolithic system tied to templates and plugins, we created a dedicated CMS that lets the AutiPocket team change anything on the site themselves. No WordPress. No plugins. No bloat.

What Changed
Speed and Performance
The new site is significantly faster. Pages load instantly. The technology stack is built for performance from day one, not bolted on afterwards with caching plugins.
Ease of Updates
With Sanity CMS, the AutiPocket team can update content, swap imagery, and change pages without technical overhead or waiting for a developer. The system is intuitive and fast.
Brand Presence
The visual identity is cohesive, modern, and compelling. The site sells the app. It tells the story of why AutiPocket exists and who it is for.
Security
No plugins. No vulnerabilities. Modern security practices built into the architecture, not an afterthought.
User Experience
The site is easy to navigate. It converts. It lets people explore the app, book a call, or get in touch in moments.
The Partnership
Wunderdog's content and design work was excellent. They understood the AutiPocket mission and communicated it clearly. We handled the technical build and deployment. Together, we delivered a site that works.
This is how modern web projects should work. Agency, client, and builder in alignment.
Why This Matters for Our Clients
This is part of a growing portfolio of modern websites we have built over the past year. Each one is purpose-built, performant, and maintainable.
If you are running a WordPress site that feels slow, outdated, or hard to manage, this might resonate. If you have got a product or service that deserves better than a template, let us talk.
The Result
A website that works. One that loads fast, converts visitors, and lets the AutiPocket team own their own content. One that looks fabulous and is easy to use.
It is the kind of site that sells the app and tells the story that matters.
