Challenge

The company was about to launch complete rebranding and go public on NASDAQ, and the old .NET site had desperately needed a clean-up. Some of the top priorities were:


  • Organize the content in a more sensible and intuitive structure for users

  • Provide a faster, more flexible workflow for marketing team

  • Build a more reliable way of auditing compliance content for legal team

  • Make it seamless and painless to further expand front-end functionality without worrying about CMS backend

Solution

Partnering with Zeek Interactive as the development agency, we decided to rearchitect the entire site on a frontend-first stack. Initially Gatsby on Gatsby Cloud was considered, but later switched to Next.js due to build time concerns. The end result is a fully responsive, super-fast, Jamstack website which users and stakeholders are excited alike.

Process

  • Led the content audit of the previous website

  • Outlined site sitemap and wireframed each area

  • Directed the content team for writing and editing

  • Collaborated with Zeek in writing front-end

  • Post-launch, continuing to refactor and expand the code base

Feature Highlights

  • Seamless dark/light mode support

  • B2B and B2C user segment toggle for better targeted content delivery

  • A collection of custom-built consumer mini-apps (also designed and developed by yours truly)

  • Consuming a variety of content sources via markdown, json, and jsx
