Project description
The client came to us as experts in web development and CMS integration. A total transformation approach was optimal to achieve project goals and make a single system for managing content.
All 15 sites were implemented using a variety of technologies and CMS, including legacy technologies such as Angular. To improve performance and support, it was decided to move all of them to Next.js as the most suitable framework for building high-performance and SEO-optimized sites.
For content management, we chose the Storyblok CMS and designed a new architecture for it. We have developed page templates and implemented modular block features, which eliminated the need for developers to help create new pages. It became possible to make changes to each of the network sites from a shared space in the CMS, which made it easier to work with content.
On client's demand, we used AWS Amplify to build, ship, and host applications on AWS. This solved the problem of lack of cloud expertise on the client side.
We conducted comprehensive testing and a series of training on the use of Headless CMS for the customer's employees providing all necessary documentation.
