Rooted: Ageing Rental Site Back Live in Under a Month
- Fast relaunch
- Optional WheelSys API
- WordPress & Sage
ROOTED
Rooted came to us with a familiar Car Rental Miles brief: an ageing website, pressure to look modern, and no appetite for a six-month rebuild. The goal was fully operational in under a month.
We replaced the old front end with a Miles WordPress/Sage site and prepared WheelSys API bookings so the operator could modernise without disrupting the desk.

ROOTED
Overview
Rooted demonstrates the fast relaunch model: modern design, booking readiness, and international SEO foundations — without a prolonged rebuild.
Speed does not mean a disposable result. Sage WordPress keeps the site maintainable long after the sprint, and WheelSys remains available when operations require deeper API integration.

The Challenge
Ageing rental sites put off visitors and slow down staff. Rooted needed a credible public face quickly — not a drawn-out, multi-phase redesign.
Key challenges:
- Replace an outdated site without a lengthy discovery freeze
- Deliver a booking-ready UX within a tight window
- Create a path to WheelSys API instead of another temporary embed
- Lay SEO foundations within the same relaunch sprint



The Solution
We ran Rooted as a Car Rental Miles sprint: WordPress/Sage front end, modern booking UX, and WheelSys-ready reservations — delivered in under a month.
Key pillars:
1. Compressed delivery without compromise
Scope stays tight: brand-ready pages, a clear booking path, and a stack that will not need immediate replacement.
2. Modern front end, familiar ops choices
The public site looks fresh while WheelSys or WordPress bookings keep the desk model recognisable.
3. SEO foundations within the same window
Technical and content basics are delivered at launch so the new site is not invisible on day one.




Performance / Results
Operational in under a month
Rooted shows that speed and substance can share a launch: a modern Miles site that does not leave the operator relying on disposable tools.
WheelSys and WordPress remain the common denominator — the fast relaunch is the defining story.

Buyers searching for a fast rental relaunch should find Rooted's story — not a clone of every other Miles page.
Final Thoughts
Older rental sites rarely need more process. They need a reliable relaunch path. Rooted is that path.
Hellenic Technologies uses WheelSys and WordPress to ensure fast Miles deliveries remain functional long after the countdown ends.
