The publishing team manages content in a custom content management system, which presents it through the public website to visitors, supported by the infrastructure and backend.

    Create the public experience around your organisation's identity and content.

  4. Technical foundation

Public site and editorial needs

Designed for visitors and for editors.

We work out how the content should be organised, which journeys matter most to visitors and what the publishing team needs to manage. The website and its backend are then built around that structure.

For a business, that means products, services, proof and a clear way to get in touch. For an institution, it means programmes, resources and updates, each with its place.

Value beyond launch

A site that grows with your work.

We plan for how the site will be maintained and how new content will fit. That gives your organisation a practical foundation for keeping its public presence current as the work grows.

Technology

Tools for the public site and its publishing team.

The public site and editing system have different needs. We consider performance, accessibility and maintenance alongside content types, editorial roles and the publishing process.

  1. Front end

    Next.js, Astro or Nuxt for page delivery, with TypeScript and Tailwind CSS supporting the interface. Performance and accessibility depend on how the site is built and tested.

    • Next.js
    • Astro
    • Nuxt
    • React
    • TypeScript
    • Tailwind CSS

  2. Motion and 3D

    GSAP and Three.js when a site calls for motion or interactive graphics, used with restraint so pages stay quick.

    • GSAP
    • Three.js

  3. CMS and backend

    A custom content system on Laravel, Django or Node.js, built around your content types, editorial roles and approvals.

    • Laravel

  4. Hosting

    Vercel or Cloudflare to serve pages close to every visitor, or Nginx on your own servers.
