Pearce on Earth is a family's record of eleven years traveling and living in forty-five countries. Two jobs at once: make the archive a pleasure to read, and move it without breaking a single link.
What we did
We designed the site around the two ways people arrive: following the story in order, or looking for a place. The new Timeline page gives the whole eleven years in one scroll, year by year, so a first-time visitor understands the shape of the journey before reading a single post. Then we converted the archive to plain content files, kept every URL where it was, and optimized the images at build time so a post with forty photos still loads quickly on a phone.
What changed
The archive reads like a book instead of a blog dump. Search traffic and old bookmarks still land. And the photos, which were the point all along, finally lead.
