The Excel STRAP website has become a benchmark in the industrial sector, thanks to its high-performance packaging solutions for export and storage. To stay ahead, the platform needed a complete technical upgrade. Digital Syndrom had the privilege of leading this mission with the following objectives: progressively migrating the hosting’s PHP version, updating the WordPress theme, verifying plugin compatibility, and performing comprehensive site maintenance, with a constant focus on security and performance.

At Digital Syndrom, PHP migration is at the core of our maintenance strategy for our entire client portfolio.
Before any intervention, our team conducted a comprehensive audit of the Excel STRAP site covering: plugin inventory, theme stability, PHP compatibility, database status, and server performance.

The staging environment testing phase is critical. It allows us to simulate the migration in an isolated environment, anticipate any anomalies before going live, and ensure a seamless transition for site visitors.
An updated site remains vulnerable if not regularly monitored. That’s why the Digital Syndrom team has implemented:
Successfully completing a technical migration doesn’t end when the site goes live. We support Excel STRAP with:
