Solution
When working on this project, we tackled a range of tasks. First, in terms of layout, we created a design that would make users navigate towards the elements of chief importance to the customer. Second, our React web development specialists ensured high responsiveness for convenient user sessions via all browsers and devices (load time was reduced by almost 40%). Third, we took care of SEO issues to guarantee better indexation and increased visibility on the Internet. Finally, our team laid a foundation for simplified site maintenance and scalability for potential future improvements.
App functionality
In order to relaunch the customer's web presence and address the above issues, we migrated the site to a headless React architecture. Additionally, we implemented a new HTTP cache validation strategy. This enabled the site to prevent superfluous queries and improved web browsing performance.
Here are the submitted deliverables:
- Content Management System setup;
- Runtime content update;
- Payment services integration;
- Implementing techniques like lazy loading, code splitting, caching, and Server-Side Rendering for performance optimization.
