Overview

Codesefod is an IT services company whose own website had to demonstrate the engineering quality they sell. We built a Laravel-powered platform with server-side rendering, a structured case-study system, and a developer-friendly blog. Everything is tuned for Core Web Vitals and SEO, and the entire stack is deployed on AWS for predictable performance under load.

How it’s built.

Every page is rendered on the server from structured content models, so crawlers and people get complete HTML on the first byte, with static assets offloaded and the app tuned for Core Web Vitals on AWS.

Design decisions

  1. 01Rendering

    Server-side rendering for every page.

    An IT company's site is judged on speed and search; SSR gives complete HTML to people and crawlers alike.

    Trade-off · Every uncached view costs server time, so read-heavy pages are response-cached.

  2. 02Content shape

    Structured content models over page-builder blobs.

    Case studies and posts become queryable data: indexes, related items and listings come free.

    Trade-off · New content types need a migration and a template, not just a new page.
