Lviv Music School No. 8

The school's website lived on uCoz: slow, hard to edit, full of broken pages, with every photo stamped with the old domain as a watermark. Hundreds of pages of news, concerts, ensembles and student achievements had piled up since 2011 — the school's public history.

The new site had to be easy enough for a secretary and a teacher to run without technical help, fast on any phone, and launched without losing a single page or breaking the links people had shared over the years.

The project started with a full audit: every page of the old site was crawled and archived with a decision — migrate, merge or drop — and turned into a specification agreed with the school, plus a new visual identity, "Partytura".

The new site runs on Payload CMS and Next.js. Staff edit it through an admin panel in Ukrainian with drafts, version history and drag-and-drop photos; achievements are structured records, so the site builds the tables and filters itself. Content was migrated by scripts, not by hand: an OpenCV pipeline removed the old watermark from the photos, old pages became typed records — news, departments, ensembles, projects, achievements — and a redirect map sends every old address to its new page.
