How Strapi Powered Our Website Revamp in Just 7 Days

Choosing a CMS that offers both rapid development and long-term scalability can be very challenging. SayOne is always on the lookout for platforms that can make our development process more efficient and offer excellent results.

When we came to the decision to re-design our site to be more flexible and quicker, we opted for Strapi, the best open-source headless CMS, and the outcome was excellent. Within a week, we took our previous site and transformed it into a high-performance and user-friendly website that is easy to use and scale for the future. Here's how we achieved it by fully utilizing the power of Strapi.

Why Do We Choose Strapi?

Strapi’s API-first approach and developer-friendly features aligned with our objectives. Strapi’s headless feature keeps the content management and front-end separate, unlike traditional CMS. What does this imply? It implies that we could make changes to our content without affecting its appearance on the site. Strapi enables us to respond rapidly to updates and add new functionality easily. Also, its user-friendly interface helped our team to easily manage content.

Revamping Our Website with Strapi: The Process

We began by evaluating our existing website to decide what needed to be changed, be it functionality, page loading time, or user interaction. Subsequently, we set definite goals for our website revamp. This included deciding on a modern look and feel, easy navigation, and mobile responsiveness. With clear objectives, we moved on to the design phase. With Strapi, we created a headless CMS that allowed us to decouple the back end from the front end. This allowed us to change content smoothly without impacting the entire site. We also utilized Strapi's robust API capabilities, allowing us to present content smoothly across multiple platforms.

After designing, we built and tested the new site with focus on performance and ensured that everything functioned smoothly. Finally, we launched the redesigned website, monitoring its performance closely to make necessary adjustments.

We moved from blueprint to deployment in one week, owing to Strapi’s ability to speed up development cycles. Migrating from our existing system was smooth with no data loss and minimal downtime.

High Performance

Performance is critical for our website, and Strapi exceeded our expectations. We created a fast, SEO-friendly website by pairing their headless architecture with a modern frontend framework (Next.js). Strapi’s RESTful and GraphQL APIs ensured efficient content delivery across all devices, and the website now loads in under a second, even during peak traffic.
