# Maintained and enhanced the legacy Hugo static‑site website while contributing UI/UX improvements to the primary asset‑management product.

2022 – 2024

**Situation.** There was a legacy website built on Hugo — a static‑site generator — running alongside the company's main product, an asset‑management system. The website was the old, established thing; the product was where the real value sat.

**Task.** Keeping the site healthy while also improving the product's experience was the remit.

**Action.** The Hugo static site was maintained and enhanced — kept current and working — while UI/UX improvements and feedback fed into the primary asset‑management product at the same time. Splitting attention between a legacy site and the flagship product is mostly about not letting the old thing rot while you're focused on the new one; both represent the company to someone, so both had to be kept decent.

**Result.** The website stayed current instead of quietly ageing, and the main product's usability improved through steady, informed refinement — the kind that comes from actually using and thinking about the thing rather than redesigning it in one big swing.
