When building a centralized portal for a municipality, the primary goal is to balance deep functionality with absolute ease of use for non-technical editors. The High River project focused on creating a "Page Builder" ecosystem that eliminates the need for developer intervention for daily updates.
What we did
Key contributions
Atomic Component Design
Developed a library of fully reusable Twig components, allowing the content team to assemble pages like "Business" or "Council" sections independently.
Flexible Matrix-Based Modeling
Architected a custom matrix structure for each section to provide maximum layout flexibility without compromising site speed.
Automated Asset Pipeline
Implemented Webpack with critical CSS and automated WebP transformations to ensure high performance and avoid caching issues.
Data-Driven Features
Integrated custom modules to pull real-time river water level data and managed user requests via the Formie plugin.
Advanced SEO & Search
Leveraged SEOmatic for granular crawl control and implemented Algolia for instant, relevant search results.
