We partnered with Marketing Intent to implement their refreshed design in Craft CMS, focusing on a modular, editor‑friendly build. Management’s goal was to streamline navigation with a flatter IA; we supported this with a clean content model and a mega menu that makes high‑value sections easy to reach. The result is a pragmatic implementation that favors maintainability, accessibility‑minded markup, and a performance‑minded loading strategy over showy visuals.
Scope & Approach
We translated the partner design into a componentized Craft build: flexible templates for common content types, a structured content model aligned to primary sections, and clear authoring guidance.
Navigation was flattened to reduce depth, and the mega menu surfaces what visitors reach for first without adding page‑builder overhead.
On the engineering side, we emphasized a lean asset footprint (image handling, code splitting, caching headers) and accessibility‑minded semantics so editors “do the right thing by default” as the site grows.
Highcharts powers interactive performance charts, Mapbox renders the portfolio map, and a nightly feed updates NAV so figures stay current without manual edits.
