Project Summary

Yellow rebuilt the client's primary website, migrating from a legacy WordPress implementation to a custom, mobile-first SPA powered by Contentful. The engagement included building a Node.js API connected to MongoDB and Elasticsearch, a Nuxt/Vue.js front end, and integrations with multiple third-party services. The vendor worked closely with the client via Zoom, Slack and Jira, reduced technical debt, improved UX and performance, and created an extensible foundation for faster feature delivery.

Key Challenges

  • Overhaul and modernize the UX
  • Increase performance at scale
  • Improve SEO
  • Enable efficient publishing of multiple content types (articles, recipes, podcasts, video, events)
  • Integrate ecommerce into the editorial experience

Project Deliverables

  • Migration from WordPress to a Contentful-powered, mobile-first Single Page App
  • Node.js API layer connected to MongoDB and Elasticsearch
  • Nuxt/Vue.js front-end
  • Integrations with FirebaseAuth, Brightcove, Omny, Klaviyo and Shopify
  • Deployment via Heroku CI pipelines and ongoing release/QA support

The team handled releases, ran post-release QA, and collaborated daily with the client via Zoom, Slack and Jira.
