What we wanted

Before we we started building the website, we knew we wanted the following features:

  • Customisable pages for projects and services.
  • A blog to publish technical articles.
  • Solid control over individual on-page SEO

The technologies

Once we had a list of all the features we wanted, we outlined the following technologies we could use in order to cross-off each requirement.

  1. React
  2. Nextjs
  3. TypeScript
  4. Tailwind
  5. MDX & Contentlayer
  6. Git

It is automatically deployed onto Vercel's servers using a GitHub integration.
