The Challenge
- To build a website with a seamless trading experience for digital investors.
- To support the new brand growth with a totally new website.
Client Goal
Axiance wanted to go live with their new brand and wanted to build a new and future-proof website based on modern and the latest technologies.
They wanted to keep it all in React.js, as they already have some in-house React JS developers, but hiring them in Cyprus is a truly complicated task.
And this is why they reached out to find a tech partner that will be a great extension of their in-house team.
Their main goal was to make the website work super fast to enhance user experience, and this is why we advised them to use Gatsby.js as a static site generator.
Project Objectives:
Pages must load fast to enhance user experience
The content edition must be easy and intuitive
Website must have a multilanguage support
Website must be safely integrated with a few tools and plug-ins that help users in trading
Main Technologies used:
- WordPress
For an easy and intuitive blog admin experience
- Gatsby.js
To build fast and safe static pages.
- Prismic CMS
For easy content edition, adding landing pages, and better multilanguage support
- Storybook
To make the development process faster by building UI components faster
We were also considering using Next.js for the project, but we found Gatsby.js more appropriate in this specific case.
If you are also wondering which of these technologies you should use, you can read our article, or watch our video about the differences between Next.js and Gatsby.js.
Why Gatsby?
- Great User Experience
- Easy to scale up down
- Great Performance
- Huge open-source community
Why Prismic?
- Easy to manage
- Great user and editor experience
- Easy multi language support
- Great for Jamstack integration
