Bulletproof

Switching Gears with Hosting: Vercel

Bulletproof initially had their website on an AWS server. While powerful, it was like juggling flaming swords—complicated and stressful. We shifted them over to Vercel, giving them a multi-environment, set-and-forget experience. Now, they focus on creativity, not server management.

Cutting Down the Build Time

The agency's build time was a whopping 30 minutes for every single change. You could make a sandwich, eat it, and still have time left before the build completed. We trimmed it down to 4 minutes without compromising on their animation-heavy site performance. Now, changes are more like a quick coffee break.

A Global Approach: Simplified Internationalisation

Their original set-up involved building multiple versions of their site for different regions, a logistical nightmare distributed via CDN. We streamlined this. Now, they have a single, location-aware site that caters to a global audience without the mess.

Animation Refinement

Bulletproof had animations that were just a bit too "extra," causing some users to feel motion sickness. We dialed it back while keeping it snazzy, creating a comfortable yet engaging user experience.

Expanding Creative Freedom with New Blocks

The agency's original site was limited in terms of page creation. We introduced a slew of new blocks, allowing them to craft even more unique and compelling pages. It’s like giving an artist a bigger palette and more colors.

Fine-tuning the Storyblok Experience

We delved into Storyblok, their CMS, to simplify the editing flow and investigate bugs related to content fallbacks. The result? A smoother, more intuitive editorial experience that lets them focus on content, not troubleshooting.
