# Zeek: An open-source site the team can change itself.

> How #10 redesigned zeek.org in 2019 and moved it to a custom WordPress theme in 2026, so the Zeek team can update the site without calling a vendor.

Zeek is an open-source network security monitor, sponsored by Corelight. We redesigned zeek.org in 2019 and have looked after it since. In 2026 we moved it to a new custom theme, so the team can update it without calling a vendor.

- Industry: Network security
- Platform: WordPress
- What we do: Design, build, run
- Site: https://zeek.org

## Where it started

The 2019 site ran on a page builder theme. As it aged, small changes took a developer. The theme itself was falling behind, too.

## What we did

1. **The 2019 redesign.** A new homepage with a new header and footer, plus a site search. The blog moved over from its old home, with every old link redirected.
2. **A move to a custom theme.** We moved every page and post to the new theme and cleaned up the content along the way. Every link stayed the same through the switch.
3. **Design for the community.** Slide templates, Zeek Week shirts and mugs, and social graphics.

## Before and after the move.

Before:
- A page builder theme from 2019
- Small changes needed a developer
- A theme that was falling behind

After:
- A custom WordPress theme
- The team edits pages with blocks
- Every old link still works
