A Nordic outdoor electronics company needed a new online store, built from scratch, with room for its second brand to follow on the same code.
What I did
- Led the frontend of a new storefront for a Nordic outdoor electronics company, built from scratch on Remix with Umbraco as the CMS.
- Built it so the company's second brand could reuse the same code; that store launched later.
One decision
- Challenge
- Static generation in Next.js was causing build timeouts on Azure on other projects, and this one was hosted there too.
- Decision
- We built it on Remix, which renders on the server on each request, so builds do not have to generate every product page.
- Trade-off
- As the agency's first Remix project, there was no earlier setup to reuse. We had to adjust to Remix's way of loading data, work out a caching strategy that fit this client, and solve a few Remix issues ourselves, none of them blocking.
