Synopsis
The website is an integral part of the internet-identity of igecos GmbH and therefore the first thing potential customers see. To grab the attention of potential customers the website needs to be fast, lightweight and flashy.
My work
I redesigned and recoded the old bloated Wordpress website, with state of the art CSS and HTML, with a big emphasis on minimizing the transmitted data and maximizing privacy. For the new website therefore I got rid of any runtime-based rendering like Wordpress used to do, instead I am using pregenerated static sites, which just need to be delivered to the user. This massively cuts down both on generating time with every request as well as allows for efficient caching of all resources.
igecos GmbH also wished for search engine optimization and the ability to track their key events/conversions on Google Analytics, therefore my task was to enable these goals with keeping the privacy of the user as well as GDPR compliance in mind. Finally to seamlessly deliver the generated pages to the webserver, a CI/CD pipeline using Woodpecker CI was implemented, whenever there is a new release of the website pushed to Git, the pipeline will rebuild the site and upload it to the webserver to be served to the users.
