A new coat of paint for crispyx.com: OktoberCMS as a solution

Overhauling a website is an important step in keeping up with ever-changing requirements and technologies. In this blog post, we take a look at the transformation of crispyx.com and the reasons why we chose OktoberCMS.

The repainting

Our website crispyx.com has been given a fresh look. The original design has remained largely unchanged, but under the surface we have carried out a "reboot". Why? Because we realized that the performance and usability of our website needed to be improved.

We originally relied on WordPress, the popular content management system (CMS). WordPress offers a wide range of functions and a large community. However, we encountered performance and usability issues. Our website was slowing down and the administration in the backend was not optimal.

OktoberCMS: The solution

After thorough research, we decided on OktoberCMS. And not just for our own landing page. We also rely on this system for future client projects. Here are some reasons why we chose it:

• Based on Laravel: OktoberCMS utilizes the Laravel framework, which is designed for modern applications. Laravel enables object-oriented programming and provides a solid foundation for development. 
• Flexible Backend: With OktoberCMS, we can design the backend according to our preferences. We have full control over the administrative interface and can customize it to meet our clients' needs. 
• Performance and Stability: OktoberCMS allows for the smooth creation of websites. It is performant and error-free, enabling us to better fulfill our clients' wishes.
• Dependency Management: OktoberCMS uses Composer as a package manager. Plugins can automatically download and install their dependencies, making setup easier. 

Why Performance and Stability Are Crucial

A CMS system should not only be easy to use but also offer high performance and stability. Here are some reasons why these aspects are important:

• Fast Load Times: Visitors expect a fast website. Long load times lead to frustration and bounce rates. 
• Reliability: A stable system minimizes downtime and ensures a smooth user experience.
• Scalability: A performant CMS can keep up with the growth of your website. 
• SEO: Search engines prefer fast and stable websites. 

Overall, OktoberCMS is an excellent choice for projects that value performance, stability, and user-friendliness. We are excited about the future with this modern CMS!
