BOOK A CALLThe timeline
With only slight design changes and considerable in-house expertise at Chillidog Hosting, we were able to quickly assess which technologies should be removed and substituted with more reliable solutions.
A fully modular website
We organized the supplied design into different building blocks, making it possible for the client to reorganize the entire website with ease. As simple as playing with LEGO bricks, the team at Chillidog Hosting could add, modify, reorganize, or remove sections of the website as they pleased and create new pages in the future.
Time for a technology upgrade
Technology evolves and so should the tech powering your website. And with this project, it’s easy to see why. The boost in performance from implementing newer technologies was incredible.
Together with the client, we decided to get rid of older technologies, such as jQuery and Bootstrap. We replaced jQuery with Vanilla (pure) JavaScript whenever possible and in some cases made use of Alpine.js, a very powerful and minimal framework. As for Bootstrap, it was time to move forward with TailwindCSS, a CSS framework that allows us to build custom solutions much faster and more easily.

A bright future
As technology evolves, Google’s requirements change and become more rigid. Google Lighthouse helps developers analyze a website and make improvements to boost rankings and improve performance. Some developers prefer to paper over the cracks and simply let it go, but we believe there’s no compromise for quality. We use tools like this to build websites that are up there with the best. For Chillidog Hosting’s site, we received the top performance score.
