The Challenge

Single Source of Truth

Previously, the Global Game Company had several different localized sites that did not share sources of truth and resulted in deployment delays as well as divergent product offerings based on region. Our continuing efforts help the Global Game Company provide cross-regional deployments, consistent regardless of time zone, device, or product. Additionally, the Global Game Company was worried that during major launch releases, their site might underperform, or even worse, fail to load, potentially leading to revenue loss.

Our Approach

A frictionless, speedy, CMS-driven sales platform

The Global Game Company asked us to design and develop from the ground up a design system of components driving a CMS to help establish best practices, align design and development, and decrease the friction in rolling out new product pages and marketing initiatives. Previously, the Global Game Company had several different localized sites that did not share sources or truth and resulted in delay in deployment as well as divergent product offerings based on region. Our continuing efforts help the Global Game Company provide cross-regional deployments, consistent regardless of time zone, device, or product.

Performant Success

Team members specializing in performance were able to take a critical look at the existing code structure and reduce the largest of about 12 Javascript bundles by 92.3%. This makes for a much snappier user experience for all users but is specifically vital to mobile users. To achieve this bundle reduction, the team reorganized how Javascript would bundle code, focusing on loading only the necessary scripts on first load so that users can interact faster with the page. Additional improvements were a 37% reduction of a secondary bundle by taking advantage of the existing Next.js implementation with lesser known packages to better organize code and handle imports dynamically.
