Contentful and Next.js website rebuild
A Full Website Rebuild in a MONTH for Chainguard
Most agencies say: "You can have it fast or good." We did both! In just 30 days, we rebuilt Chainguard's entire website, a high-performance platform that launched amidst daily design changes. The result? Immediate new revenue capture and strengthened brand credibility.
Background
Chainguard had already been through one lengthy redesign cycle. When their executives decided the brand needed a new direction, the calculus was simple: they couldn't afford another six-month process while competitors moved. The new site needed to launch within a month, not as a shortcut, but as a strategic requirement. Every week without the new site was a week the old one was representing a brand that no longer existed.
Challenge
Extreme one-month deadline for a full website rebuild
Frequent, last-minute design changes requiring rapid adaptation
Risk of a poor-quality site hurting brand credibility
Solution
An agile development approach with expanded team resources, continuous integration, modular development workflows, and parallel QA processes.
Results
30 days for a full website rebuild
60% improved SEO metrics and Performance
70% faster delivery than the estimated 3 months minimum

Challenges
The project presented significant constraints that threatened its success and Chainguard's market momentum:
Delayed revenue opportunities
The primary goal of the new website was to better support sales and increase brand awareness. A typical 3-4 month development timeline would have meant months of lost opportunities. They needed to get their new, more persuasive marketing tool in front of customers, fast!
Daily design changes
The marketing team was continuously refining the new design to maximize its impact. A strict development process would have forced them to either compromise on their vision or face major delays. They needed a partner who could keep up with their pace.
Brand credibility at risk
For a cybersecurity leader, a buggy or slow website is not an option! It directly undermines customer trust. Launching quickly could not come at the cost of quality. They needed a flawless site that reinforced their reputation as a top-tier technology company.
Our solution
We delivered a solution focused on getting Chainguard to market faster, so they could start seeing results sooner!
Accelerated development workflow
We immediately deployed an expanded team of developers and QA experts who worked in parallel. This agile workflow was designed to handle daily design updates without slowing down. Instead of seeing changes as delays, our process absorbed them efficiently.
Why this matters: This aggressive approach was the only way to meet the tight deadline. By adding more expert resources, we eliminated bottlenecks and ensured that speed did not compromise the quality of the final product.
Empowering the marketing team
Our close collaboration gave Chainguard's marketing team the freedom to perfect their design right up to the launch. We provided the technical flexibility they needed to make crucial, last-minute adjustments, ensuring the final website was perfectly aligned with their marketing strategy.
Why this matters: This eliminated the typical friction between marketing and development. Chainguard's team could make vital, data-driven design changes on the fly, ensuring the website was perfectly optimized for their campaign goals at launch.
Launch with confidence
Our continuous, in-house quality assurance meant we were testing for bugs and performance issues from day one. This ensured the website launched flawlessly, protecting Chainguard's brand and providing a seamless experience for their customers.
Why this matters: A buggy launch can destroy brand credibility, especially in cybersecurity. Our strict QA process removed that risk, providing complete peace of mind and ensuring the first impression on customers was a powerful and professional one.

Why it worked
The reason most fast builds fail is that marketing and development work against each other under pressure. Marketing keeps changing things; development keeps pushing back. We inverted that dynamic. Chainguard's marketing team made changes daily, and we built the workflow to treat that as signal, not scope creep. The result was a site that launched not just on time, but perfectly aligned with where their brand thinking had landed after a month of iteration.
