Enterprise Statamic website redesign and development

How we helped data.world deliver new features and automate their workflows

The website had trouble adding new features and was full of bugs. We rebuilt it to automate processes, letting the client focus on marketing strategies instead of website issues.

Working with Lucky Media has been an absolute dream! Partnering closely with Lokman and his team, they’ve taken our website from 'broken' to highly functional in just a matter of months.

The challenge

The website had several issues:

- Slow deployment: It took weeks to launch new features because deployments were slow and manual.

- Frequent bugs: There were frequent bugs that affected user experience.

- Dependence on developers: The client couldn’t use the Statamic Control Panel effectively and even small updates required help from developers.

- Poor performance: The site performed poorly in terms of speed, accessibility, and SEO.

These problems slowed down data.world’s ability to grow and focus on its main goals.

Our solution

We transformed data.world’s website into a fast, reliable, and easy-to-manage platform. Here’s how we addressed their challenges:

Automated process deployment site

Automated deployment process

We automated the entire process and eliminated the need for manual, time-consuming deployments. We enabled the client to push updates to the live website with a single click. We significantly reduced build times by separating large assets like images into a different droplet. This approach saved hours of developer effort and allowed data.world to launch new features and updates in under an hour—down from three days.

Why this matters for you: If your team is spending too much time on manual deployments or struggling with slow update cycles, automation can streamline your workflow, reduce costs, and accelerate your time-to-market.

Technical deep dive: By automating the deployment and separating assets into a different droplet, we reduced deployment time from three days to under an hour. (blog post coming soon)

Simplified Control Panel

Simplified Control Panel

We made the backend user-friendly, so the client could update content without needing developers. By breaking the website into modular building blocks, we empowered the client to add, modify, or reorganize content without needing a developer. For example, they could easily remove a team module from the homepage and create a separate team page, or embed videos directly into posts. We also set up required fields and validation rules to prevent errors and ensure consistency.

Why this matters for you: If your team relies on developers for simple content updates, a modular and user-friendly Control Panel can give you full control over your website, saving time and reducing dependency on technical staff.

Technical deep dive: We implemented modular building blocks, allowing the client to add, modify, or reorganize content effortlessly. (blog post coming soon)

Improved performance and SEO

Improved performance and SEO

We upgraded the website to the latest version of Statamic and optimized it for speed, accessibility, and SEO. By implementing advanced caching techniques, optimizing images, and using modern front-end technologies, we made the website 160% faster. These improvements enhanced the user experience and boosted the website’s Google Lighthouse scores for performance, accessibility, best practices, and SEO.

Why this matters for you: A slow or poorly optimized website can drive users away and hurt your search engine rankings. Performance optimization ensures your site is fast, accessible, and ranks higher in search results, driving more traffic and engagement.

Technical deep dive: By upgrading to the latest Statamic version and optimizing assets, we made the website faster and improved its SEO rankings. (blog post coming soon)

Content migration and testing

Content migration and testing

We successfully migrated hundreds of blog posts and other content from the old website to the new platform. Our process included rigorous testing to ensure that all content, formatting, and media files were accurately transferred. We also fixed issues with custom code to ensure a seamless transition.

Why this matters for you: If you’re planning a website overhaul, a smooth content migration process is critical to preserving your SEO rankings and ensuring a consistent user experience. Our expertise ensures that no data is lost, and your new site is ready to go live without hiccups.
